Definitions Here are some common words you will find in this manual which may require a little more definition.
- Page 6 User Guide ColorNet – ColorNet is Leviton’s network protocol used to carry lighting control signals over Ethernet wiring using TCP/IP. For additional information on ColorNet see the appendices to this document. DMX – A digital multiplexed control protocol used to control lighting devices like dimmers, effects, and automated lighting.
- Page 7 User Guide MAC Address – a unique network address which identifies a piece of networking hardware to be used on an Ethernet network. The MAC address of a device can not be changed.

Page 19: System Status Check
User Guide System Status Check Make your final power connections and apply power. At this point in time, your NPC should be operational. There’s a bit of configuration which must still be done, but all your connections are made. To checkout the system, observe the LED’s on the front of the unit. -
Page 20: Part 2: Wrapping Up
"why’s" of what you are doing. The way to configure the NPC DLR is via a PC connected to the network, using the telnet program. Telnet is provided with all copies of Microsoft Windows and many other operating systems. It is assumed that you are using a Microsoft Windows system. - Page 21 User Guide The rest of the procedures in section will be quick short examples on some common configuration tasks. Setting the IP Address Procedure: Setting the IP Address or Configuring the NPC to use DHCP From the Main Menu, navigate to "General Step 1 Set-up", then Press [ESC] -OR- just press [D] from the main menu.

NPC works, you’ll be able to take advantage of it’s powerful features. All configuration of the NPC DLR is via the telnet interface. Henceforth, for all configuration, we assume that you already have a PC connected to the network and know what the IP address of the NPC you wish to configure. -

General setup – from this screen you can set the general, network, and identification settings for this NPC. Patching – this is where you define what data is routed to all of the input/output connections on this NPC.

Page 26: General Setup
User Guide General Setup The General Setup screen is where you define most of the basic information which is required for operation. Figure 13: General Setup A. Host Name The Host name is a means of identifying the NPC node in a human way. - Page 27 User Guide C. IP Address Assignment Method The concept of the IP address is significant because this address is what allows the software of all networking devices on the ColorNet network the ability to uniquely identify this device. On a TCP/IP Ethernet network, each device must have it’s own unique IP address.
- Page 28 The final method by which your NPC can get an IP address is with the NPC auto-addressing algorithm. The auto-addressing is guaranteed to assign unique addresses when ONLY Leviton LCD ColorNet 2.0 products exist on the network. That is to say that if ethernet products from other manufacturers are used, IP address duplication may occur rendering the network inoperative.
- Page 29 User Guide D. Automatic return for default video By setting this function to yes, the video monitor will be switched to the default screen after 5 minutes of inactivity. The default screen is set under the “select video 1(2)” display options on the main menu.

DMX non-significant level change When two controllers, which control the same channels, are operating in a "take control" manner, (when two controlling device control the same channel and the last device with a change takes control over the previous device regardless of the level of change) this setting defines how much of a change the last device must make before the take control occurs.

Page 32: Device Connections
User Guide DEVICE CONNECTIONS This page allows you to view the connection status of every port on the NPC and on some can manually enable or disable the port. An enabled device/port is said to be active and a disabled or non- existent device/port is said to be inactive. - Page 33 User Guide A. Enet-A The word active or inactive is shown to indicate if the NPC detected a connected device. B. DMX-A The word active or inactive is shown to indicate if the NPC is receiving or outputting DMX512 data. The options for the input and output lines are either DMX512 or no device.

Assigning a universe number of 0 to any of the ports is same as saying “I don’t want a patch set for this port.” This is the option you want if you either want to manually define a patch in the patching screen, or you just want to simply cut down on NPC processor or network overhead.

Page 36: Patching
User Guide Patching The patching screens are perhaps the heart of the power of the NPC. These are the screens which control the routing of all ColorNet data as it passes into and out of the NPC. As you will recall from the information in the appendices on ColorNet information, ColorNet carries DMX Universe data, handheld remote data, and video display data. - Page 37 User Guide The information on this screen is a list of all of the patches which are set for this NPC. Each line represents a patch. The information on the left side of the greater than (>) sign shows the source or FROM port information.
- Page 38 User Guide This patch takes channels 1-512 from incoming DMX port 1 and patches them to the ColorNet, DMX universe #4. A second example of a device patch of a device patch could be as follows: -hheld p1 > 192.168.90.116 cons p1 This patches the hand held remote connected to HHR port 1 (the only port) to the on line console at IP 192.168.90.116, port 1.
