Pathport DIN-Mount DMX/RDM Ethernet Gateway

PWPP DIN P1

Manual

03/08/22

The Pathport® DIN-mount 1-Port Gateway (PWPP DIN P1) 

provides the full functionality of other Pathport gateways 

in a compact, DIN-rail mountable form factor.
System integrators can now easily put a fully customized 

universe of DMX where it’s needed.
Ideal for use in NEMA enclosures. Fully compatible with 

DIN interfaces (PWINF).

The  Pathport  PWPP  DIN  P1  features  terminal  strips  that  can 

be removed from the card to facilitate easy wiring installation or 

replacement. Make the following connections, 

WITH THE POWER 

TURNED OFF.

POWER

The PWPP DIN P1 is designed to run on either Power-over-Ethernet 

(PoE), or on an auxiliary power supply providing between 18 and 48 

volts DC. The gateway is Class 1 PoE and will draw up to 4 Watts.
If an auxiliary supply is used, observe the correct polarity when 

connecting V+ and V-. A second set of terminals are provided so 

power may be daisy-chained to other cards. The earth ground 

terminal can be connected to the enclosure’s chassis or electrical 

ground terminal to improve EMC compliance.

DMX512

DMX connections consist of a shield and data pair. Connect DATA+ 

and DATA- to D1+ and D1-. Observe the same polarity convention 

throughout the system. Connect the cable shield or common to the 

SHLD COM terminal.

NETWORK

All network wiring should follow standard Ethernet rules and be 

installed by a qualified person. As part of the installation, all wiring 

should be certified under the TIA/EIA-568 standard.
