  1. FAQ Lighting

Set-up and Testing of the e-Node/xxxx for use with Lutron.

 

Review the applicable document for respective e-Node model.

  1. Quick Start Guide for e-Node 2000/4000
  2. Quick Start Guide for e-Node/dmx 2100/4100
  3. Quick Start Guide for e-Node 4x00 and DALI

Important Steps that must be followed before the e-Node can be used to control connected (or to be connected) devices.

  1. Make sure you have selected the applicable e-Node/xxxx for your system requirements.

    Typically, you will generally need one e-Node 2000/4000 gateway for 1-254 connected ILC-xx0 controllers. Alternatively, you will need one e-Node dmx 2100/4100 gateway for each 32-DMX fixtures. Finally, you will need (at least initially) 1 e-Node/4x00 gateway each connected ILC-640d (contact factory for any news on changes to this current specification).

  2. Install the e-Node into an appropriate housing and network connect the e-Node to your Local Area Network Switch (not your PC's Ethernet port).

    Mount the e-Node(s) in the equipment rack or in a remote location (i.e., closer to the ILC-xx0 controllers or the DMX fixtures that the device will be controlling. Since the e-Node family of gateways are packaged in a DIN-Rail form factor, it makes it quite easy to simply mount the e-Node devices in a DIN-RAIL box. Power up your unit with either POE (e-Node 4x00) or a wall wart for e-Node 4x00 (if you don't have POE) or e-Node 2x00. If the e-Node/xxxx is mounted in the equipment rack, a LAN cable must be run from (each) e-Node/xxxx to any active network switch. Do not in general connect the Gateway to a free Ethernet port on your laptop or desktop. Occasionally, we have seen cases where dealers attempt to connect the e-Node/xxxx to their computer's Ethernet port and set up the e-Node with a static IP address to communicate with the laptop in AutoIP mode. AutoIP Mode will not allow the e-Node to communicate with 3rd-party control systems so in general do not setup the e-Node this way.

  3. Select appropriate IP Addressing (Dynamic/ Dynamic with Reservations or Static IP Addressing).

    By default, the e-Node comes factory configured for Dynamic (DHCP ENABLED) addressing. It is recommended that the installer either (i) set the e-Node for DHCP DISABLE (i.e., STATIC addressing) using its web page/setup tool, or (ii) or leave the e-Node with its factory default of DHCP ENABLED and use your network Router setup features to reserve a "Static IP address" for the e-Node.

  4. Reboot e-Node after making any DHCP changes and use Windows File Explorer to discover the e-Node.

  5. After discovering e-Node on your network, double-click on the entry to launch its built-in web-page.

  6. Select the triple bar (settings icon), and navigate to e-Node/Properties/Settings Page and search for MODE entry (see image below) and make sure it is set to the appropriate MODE (PURE/DMX or DALI), and select that name on the Ribbon (end of red arrow) and discover/add devices as appropriate for your system using the e-Node's web-page. Note: Depending upon your e-Node model various Modes will not appear.

    xxxx

    For PURE Mode devices, discover applicable ILC-xxx0 controllers using the CS-Bus tab, for DMX Mode devices, add DMX devices using the DMX tab, and for DALI II Mode devices, discover DALI II devices using the DALI tab.

  7. Set up the credentials for the Lutron platform to which you will linking. Program the Lutron table to enable seamless operation of e-Node load from Lutron systems.

    Refer to these instructions for directions to connect to Lutron, acquire devices and then connect those devices as the control mechanism for any Zone/Group/Node device discovered above.
