Dali Matrix PS System Installation and Commissioning Guide

Dali Wireless Proprietary and Confidential | DW-MAN-036 Rev 06

In Figure 12-1, you can see the system controller is the central access point for the

WAN and LAN sides of the network. NMS servers and Dali Customer Support (through

a firewall) connect to the WAN bridge interfaces, WAN1 and WAN2. On the LAN side,

Matrix host units connect to the ETH bridge interface.

Figure 12-1: Customer IP Network and Matrix IP Network

12.2.1

Customer IP Network Requirements

Ensure the external customer IP network meets the following requirements:



Implements firewall protection



Does not connect Matrix equipment directly to the public IP network



Separates Matrix equipment from other customer equipment (guest Wi-Fi

generally meets all of these requirements)

12.2.2

Matrix IP Network Requirements

Ensure the internal Matrix IP network meets the following requirements:



System controller is link local to all Matrix units in the system



No routing or L3 switch functionality between the system controller and the

other units



All units, including the system controller, are on the same broadcast domain
