Document Updated: August 2022
Yellow
DMX input or
output on Port 2
This will fade from white to yellow. Please disable Port2 if you
don't want it to function. Flashing Yellow indicates RDM.
Cyan
Multiple merge
sources
Multiple DMX Sources detected, either Merging is disabled in the
web interface or number of sources exceed 2 (for the same
universe). User action is required to allow proper DMX output.
Purple (static)
IP Address Conflict
One or more devices on the network already has the same IP
address as the DIN ETHERGATE. Please change the IP address
manually or enable DHCP.
Red
Booting / Error
No DMX will be input or output in this state. Requires a firmware
update or needs to be rebooted.
Out of the Box
The DIN ETHERGATE will be set to a DHCP IP address as default. If the DHCP server is slow to respond, or
your network does not have a DHCP server, the DIN ETHERGATE will fall back to the Static IP address which
will be 192.168.0.10 as default. The DIN ETHERGATE will also be set as DMX OUTPUT as default, listening to
the first two Art-Net Universes - 0 (0x00) and 1 (0x01) - converting them to DMX512-A on the two Phoenix
Connectors.
Networking
The DIN ETHERGATE can either be configured to be a DHCP or Static IP address.
DHCP:
On power up and with DHCP enabled, if the DIN ETHERGATE is on a network with a device/router with
a DHCP server, the DIN ETHERGATE will request an IP address from the server. If the DHCP server is slow to
respond, or your network does not have a DHCP server, the DIN ETHERGATE will fall back to the Static IP
address. If a DHCP address is provided, this can be used to communicate with the DIN ETHERGATE.
Static IP:
By default (out of the box) the Static IP address will be 192.168.0.10. If the DIN ETHERGATE has DHCP
disabled or if the DIN ETHERGATE falls back to the Static IP address after being unable to find a DHCP server,
the Static IP address given to the device will become the IP address to communicate with the DIN
ETHERGATE. The fall-back address will change from the default once it’s modified in the web interface.
Note
: When configuring multiple DIN ETHERGATE’s on a Static network; to avoid IP conflicts, ENTTEC
recommends connecting one device at a time to the network and configuring an IP.
If using DHCP as your IP addressing method, ENTTEC recommends the use of the sACN protocol, or Art-
Net Broadcast. This will ensure that your DIN ETHERGATE continues to receive data if the DHCP server
changes it’s IP address.
ENTTEC does not recommend unicasting data to a device with its IP address set through DHCP server on
long term installations.
Web Interface
Configuring the DIN ETHERGATE is done through a web interface which can be brought up on any modern
web browser.
Note:
A Chromium based browser (i.e. Google Chrome) is recommended for accessing the DIN ETHERGATE
web interface.
Note:
As the DIN ETHERGATE is hosting a web server on the local network and does not feature an SSL
Certificate (used to secure online content), the web browser will display the ‘Not secure’ warning, this is
to be expected.
Identified IP address:
If you are aware of the DIN ETHERGATE IP address (either DHCP or Static), then the
