  • Page 2: Product Description

    The Node Discovery program, which is available for download at www.dfd.com may assist users to connect to the E2E using a Windows PC. Using DHCP and Node Discovery is a simple way to get to the configuration pages within the interface.
  • Page 3 There are status and configuration pages contained on the two embedded web servers hosted by the E2E. In and out configure similarly, with the exception that the Ethernet in interface always has its virtual ports as output, and the Ethernet out interface always has its virtual ports as input.
  • Page 4 Network Configuration Page Under the Network Configuration tab, key network configuration options are set. The user may change the lighting protocol supported by the interface by clicking on the Network Protocol box. Use of static IP or DHCP is selected here. A user may change the default IP address when DHCP is turned off.
  • Page 5 Ports are always connected by letter. This means Port A on the E2E in side will communicate universe data to Port A on the E2E out side. These virtual connections remain linked at all times for each of the four ports. The configuration for universe number and other protocol specific details are configurable on the web server.

    ArtNet based on the virtual port settings in the E2E. The Ethernet Router may or may not use DHCP, and the E2E out and ArtNet dimmer use static IP. In cases where the sACN side uses static addressing, or the light board provides a DHCP server, the Ethernet router should be changed to an Ethernet switch in the example below.
  • Page 7 DHCP enabled devices on the network, and Node Discovery will be able to see both interfaces on the E2E. The network usage is doubled for each universe going into the E2E in port. This is represented with the black/red lines in the below diagram. In cases where the network uses static addressing, or the light board provides a DHCP server, the Ethernet router should be changed to an Ethernet switch in the example below.
  • Page 8 Fleenor Design (at the customer's expense) for service. Doug Fleenor Design will repair the unit and return it to the customer (at Doug Fleenor Design's expense). If a trip is necessary to the customer's site to solve a problem, the expenses of the trip must be paid by the customer.
