4.7 Computer
To operate the DRM-882LAN by remote con-
trol via a computer, connect the computer to
the jack (5), using a USB cable .
Alternatively, the unit may also be con-
trolled via the RS-485 interface (provided the
interface is not to be used for connecting
a control panel DRM-882WP/-882WPX) or
Ethernet . To control the DRM-882LAN via the
RS-485 interface, connect the RS-485 output
of the computer to the jack RS-485 IN (10);
the pin configuration is shown in figure 2 .
The output jack RS-485 OUT (11) may be con-
nected to the jack RS-485 IN of an additional
DRM-882LAN . Thus, up to 64 units to be con-
trolled may be connected in a chain . If multi-
ple units are connected and if longer control
lines are used, the control output of the last
unit in the chain should be equipped with
a terminal resistor (120 Ω resistor between
pin 1 and pin 2 of the connection) to prevent
interference while signals are transmitted .
To operate the DRM-882LAN by remote
control via Ethernet, the jack TCP/ IP (9) may
be used to connect the DRM-882LAN to an
individual computer, a local computer net-
work or, e . g . via a router, to larger computer
networks (Internet) . Network technology ex-
pertise is indispensable for the correct instal-
lation of the connection .
To control multiple DRM-882LANs via RS-
485 or Ethernet, an individual IP address or
ID number must be assigned to each unit . To
assign the addresses or numbers via a com-
puter, each unit must first be connected to
the computer using a USB cable (
6 .2 .10) . Alternatively, the IP address and the
ID number can be directly set at the unit by
means of the system menu ( ☞
If the units have been set to the DHCP mode
( ☞ chapter 5 .3 .2), the network settings of
the units can be made automatically by a
DHCP server .
4.8 Mains connection
Connect the supplied mains cable to the
mains jack (7) and the mains plug to a sock-
et (230 V/ 50 Hz) .

5 Operation

5.1 Switching on /off
Prior to switching on the units connected to
the outputs and the power supply of the con-
trol panel DRM-882WP/-882WPX, switch on
the DRM-882LAN by means of the POWER
switch (6) . The firmware version (e . g .
is briefly shown on the display, then the con-
figuration that was used when the unit was
switched off is loaded and its name appears
on the display (2) .
After usage, first switch off the units con-
nected to the outputs, and then switch off
the DRM-882LAN by means of the POWER
switch .
5.2 Selecting a configuration
Press one of PRESET buttons 1– 6 (3) to change
between the configurations (programs) saved .
While the new configuration is being loaded,
the following is shown on the display (2):
Please Wait...
Loading new program...
The name of the new configuration will then
appear on the display .
If the settings of the unit have been ap-
propriately defined, the switching outputs will
also be changed (
Note: If the unit has been locked by means of the
PC software (

up, the DRM-882LAN cannot be operated by
remote control via a computer or a control panel

5.3.1

Setting the IP address

The unit requires an IP address to be operated
by remote control via Ethernet . If multiple
units are connected to the PC at the same
time, the units must have been assigned
different IP addresses for identification . The
IP addresses can be assigned manually or,
alternatively, automatically via a DHCP server
in the network (e . g . in a router) (
ter 5 .3 .2) .
To manually set the IP address:
1) Call up the menu . The required submenu
is already selected:
