and empty of debris. Inspect the PWPP WM P1 and make sure
all components are securely fastened and that the printed circuit
boards are intact.
If the back backbox contains an Ethernet RJ45 female punchdown
connector, use a male-to-male jumper to connect it to the PWPP WM
P1. Otherwise, plug the male RJ45 pigtail directly into the connector
on the back of the PWPP WM P1. Attach the green ground wire to
the ground screw in the backbox.
Gently insert the PWPP WM P1 straight into the backbox and screw
it into place with the long mounting screws provided. Place the cover
plate over the installed PWPP WM P1 and use the two short screws
to fasten the cover plate. Do not over-tighten these screws.
The PWPP WM P1 is ready to be powered up.
Disconnect all power before proceeding.
Because PWPP DIN models are intended for installation within
enclosures, if you are installing multiple gateways it’s a good idea
to maintain a log of serial numbers. The serial numbers are exposed
when the gateways are discovered in Pathscape which is where they
will be patched. If the devices are easily visible from where you run
Pathscape, use the “Identify” feature, which will blink the blue Identify
LED on the selected gateway.
Securely mount DIN rail (if not already installed in the enclosure).
Hook the upper slots on the back of the plastic extrusion to the DIN
rail and then gently but firmly press on the bottom front corners of
the extrusion to snap the module onto the rail. Do NOT press directly
on the PCB card itself.
Attach the DMX wiring to the terminal strip output connector(s). If the
PWPP DIN is using an auxiliary power supply, connect the terminal
strip. Observe DC polarity.
Attach the network cable to the RJ45 connector marked Ethernet.
The Pathport is ready to be powered up. Both auxiliary power and
PoE can be connected simultaneously without damaging the PWPP
DIN.
PWPP DIN P1’s may be set permanently to a specific DMX universe,
1 through 4, by use of a DIP switch block on the circuit board. If the
system designer has not given specific instructions about this setting,
all switches should be left in the OFF position, and configured with
Pathscape.
The Portable 1-Port Gateway may be
powered using Power-over-Ethernet or
a 24VDC supply with a 2.5mm center-
positive barrel connector.
To attach the hanging bracket, remove
the top two screws from either end of
the portable enclosure (four screws
altogether), position the hanging
bracket over the top of the enclosure,
then use the same screws to attach the
bracket to the enclosure.
The hanging bracket has a 1/2”
(12.5mm) hole suitable for a C-Clamp or other hanger (not
included).
The PWPP HH P1 XLR5F operates on Power-over-Ethernet during
normal operation, but may be configured using power from a 9V
battery (included). Note that when battery powered, the device will
shut down when idle after a short time to conserve battery life.
Once connected to a PoE source, the PWPP HH P1 XLR5F is
ready for use.
It may be configured using its front panel or with Pathscape over
the network.
The PWPP RM P4 operates on Power-over-Ethernet or an auxiliary
24 or 48 VDC supply with a 2.5mm center-positive barrel connector
(supply not included).
Once powered up, the PWPP RM P4 is ready for use. There is no
on/off switch.
The PWPP RM P4 is designed for installation in a standard EIA 19”
rack, with the LCD and encoder facing out. Attach the rack ears
(included) to either side of the enclosure using the Phillips screws
provided (two per ear). Attach the PWPP RM P4 to the rack using
standard rack screws (not included).
A joiner is included to allow two PWPP RM P4s to be installed side-
by-side in 1RU of rack space. Wall (PWACC WMSM) and truss
mount (PWACC TMSM) adapters are available as accessories.
