DNET -

DINGO ETHERNET GATEWAY

Rev 2.2

The DNET Ethernet Gateway is designed for use with the Dingo series of solar charge controllers. It

provides basic read-only access to the main parameters of the Dingo 2020N and Dingo 4040P products via

both a Web Server interface (HTTP) and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

A configuration mode is provided to allow changes to the default settings. This mode is enabled by a short

press (less than one second) of the Configuration Button within 10 seconds of applying power to the

device. See Figure 1 below.

Figure 1 Ethernet Port and Configuration Button

The DNET may need to be configured to work with the host network. By default the device uses DHCP to

acquire a network IP address, failing this it will revert to Link Local Addressing.

By connecting the DNET directly to a computer using the Ethernet port it is possible to access the

configuration web page of the DNET. It may take up to a minute for the computer to establish network

communications with the DNET. When Ethernet communications are established it will be possible to access

the Web Server via:

http://169.254.100.100/config.html

After the parameters have been configured the update button on the web page should be clicked and then

the DNET needs to be reset by removing the power. The DNET is then configured and ready for connection

to the host network.

Web Server

The DNET can present the status of the attached Dingo device via web pages. These can be accessed by

using the assigned IP address directly from a web browser

http://<IP Address> /status.html
