5.3 Network Instructions

5.3.1 Description of master converter Network IP and Parameter Settings

The master converter supports two methods for network IP and parameter settings:

1. DHCP for network IP and parameter assignment

2. Static settings for network IP and parameter configuration

DHCP is the default method for master converter network IP and parameter settings.

If you need to modify the host's network IP and parameters, refer to 5.4Master converter Network Parameter Configuration.

---

DHCP automatically assigns network IP and configuration parameters to the host via a router. It requires no manual settings from the user and enables quick network access for the device.

Static settings require the user to manually enter parameters such as IP address, subnet mask, network gateway address, and DNS server for network configuration.

:warning: If you are not familiar with network principles and allocation methods, please use the default DHCP method.

5.3.2 Target Network Configuration

The target IP address and target port within the target network configuration refer to the IP address and data port of the host connected to the master converter.

The default target address is 192.168.10.1, and the data port is 1883.

If the master converter and the host are in the same LAN segment, you can set the network segment address encoders of the master converter and the host to the same value to enable the network automatic pairing function. After the successful automatic matching, the target IP address and target port of the master converter will be automatically modified. A.quick pairing instructions for master converters

---

If the LAN where the host is located is the upper-level LAN of the LAN where the master converter is located, it is necessary to modify the target IP address and target port of the master converter. Otherwise, the master converter will remain in the state of "Host server not connected", and the system indicator light will "Red light off for 500ms, on for 500ms".

• :warning:If the LAN where the host is located is the lower-level LAN of the LAN where the master converter is located, the device will be unable to connect. The network hierarchy of the host must be higher than that of the master converter. How to modify the target IP address and target port: please refer to Section 5.4.Master converter Network Parameter Configuration。

5.4 Master converter Network Parameter Configuration

5.4.1 Find the master converter's IP through the router's management backend.

First, ensure that the converter's system indicator light is not in the state of "red light on for 100ms and off for 900ms"(IP not assigned or network cable disconnected). In this state, the converter is in one of the following states:

1. Static IP setting with network cable disconnected

2. DHCP setting with network cable disconnected

3. DHCP setting with network IP not assigned

In the above cases, the master converter has not been added to the router's network, so the master converter will not be found in the router's management backend.

---

The master converter's network is set to DHCP (default network setting)

Then log in to the router management background, locate the device with the hostname EIC-GW01-DL_XXXXXX, and record its IP address.

:warning:The methods for logging in to the management background of different routers vary, and you need to consult the network administrator for the specific method.

Master converter network set to static IP

Directly record its static IP address.

---

:warning: If you have forgotten the network settings of the master converter, please reset the converter directly to ensure its network setting is set to DHCP.

5.4.2 Accessing the Master converter's Configuration Page via Browser

Ensure the computer and the master converter are on the same local area network (LAN). Open a browser on the computer and enter the master converter's IP address recorded in Section 5.4.1, and the following interface will be displayed in the browser:

Device Settings:Master converter device information

Local Network Configuration:Master converter network settings

Target Network Configuration:The network information of the host that the master converter needs to connect to.(Target IP address and target port)

6. Testing and Verification

This product is a DALI 2-channel master converter component in the SafeLUX system, therefore it needs to be used in conjunction with the SafeLUX system host.

After adding a converter to the SafeLUX system, you can control the converter and the DALI lamps mounted under the converter DALI bus on the SafeLUX system page.

For more information, please refer to the SafeLUX host user manual, SafeLUX system user manual, and other related documents.

Basic Verification Steps:

1. Hardware connect

2. Power on the system

3. Log in to the host system

4. Access the device management page

5. Add the master converter (Add master converter via network)(If the host and the master converter are on the same local area network (LAN), automatic converter addition is available)

6. Perform other operations

7. Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Based on Indicator Light Status and Description

Phenomenon	Troubleshooting Directions
System indicator light: Red light on for 100ms, off for 900ms	Master converter IP not assigned or network cable disconnected: 1. Check if the network cable is connected. 2. If using the DHCP network allocation method, confirm whether the router supports and has the DHCP function enabled. 3. If using the static IP network allocation method, confirm whether the router's network segment is consistent with the configured static IP network segment.
System indicator light: Red light on for 250ms, off for 250ms	Sub converter communication abnormality: 1. Check if the 485 bus connected to the sub converter is properly connected. 2. Check if the sub converter is powered off or abnormal.
System indicator light: Red light on for 250ms, off for 250ms	Server not connected: 1. Confirm whether the target IP address and target port are configured correctly. 2. Confirm whether the host is powered on. 3. Confirm that there is a correct network connection between the master converter and the host.
cahnnel X led:Red light solid on	DALI X Channel Fault: Check DALI Interface Voltage
cahnnel X led:Red light off for 250ms, on for 250ms	There is device failure under the DALI X Channel; check whether there is any devie failure under the channel.
cahnnel X led:Red light off for 500ms, on for 500ms	Device loss occurs under the DALI X Channel; check for device loss or bus disconnection under the channel, and perform bus cable repair or device repair.

7.2 Common Questions Q&A
