Product Overview and Document Scope
The E8ANL-DIN is an Ethernet (sACN or ArtNet) interface with 8 analog (0-10V) outputs
(each with its own common terminal) and a DMX512 output. Configuration is via a built-
in webserver. The standard Ethernet connector (8P8C aka RJ-45) accepts PoE (power
over Ethernet) or the user may supply power (18 to 48 VDC) on a two-position terminal
block. DMX512 and analog connections are on pluggable terminal blocks. The device
mounts on standard 35mm “top hat” DIN rail.
Specifications concerning power, inputs, outputs, and more are available in a separate
data sheet.
Configuration Overview
Power is supplied to the E8ANL-DIN via 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet), or by an
auxiliary 18-48 VDC power input made via direct wiring to a terminal. Once powered,
setup begins with a physical connection to a network using the Ethernet RJ-45
connector. Once physically connected, appropriate IP addresses must be set in order to
access the web pages and configuration options. The two methods for establishing this
web connection are using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol [DHCP] and Node
Discovery, or Static IP addresses. Once connected and configured, the E8ANL-DIN
stores the settings, which persist after removing power.
Installers may choose to bench configure these products (typically with Static IP) prior to
installation, or place them into networks specified in a way where connection is possible
after being physically connected into the system (typically with DHCP and Node
Discovery on Windows 7 or higher). Mac and Linux users who require DHCP/Discovery
configuration can give us a call at (805) 481-9599.
Ship Time IP Configuration
Unique IP addresses are assigned to each DFD Ethernet product at ship time. The IP
Address and Subnet Mask are labeled on each unit. DHCP is also enabled at shipping
time. When a new unconfigured E8ANL-DIN is connected to a network that does not
have a DHCP server, the IP labeled on the unit is used.
