Introduction

Welcome

The Ethernet Gateway 2 provides connection between an iLight CAN network and an Ethernet
LAN. This allows a user to control and configure the iLight system using iCANsoft on a LAN
network PC rather than by connecting directly into the network.

The EG2 also facilitates connection to the internet when installed behind a firewall. This then
enables remote connection for controlling, programming and obtaining diagnostics of the
lighting control system. A web interface is provided for simple operation of the lighting system.

The EG2 also functions as a smartphone device host allowing control and programming of the
iLight network. Apps are available free of charge for Android and Apple devices.

Facilities are provided to allow a BMS or smart home system to interact with the iLight network.
This is achieved by simple character strings communicated via a UDP or TCP connection.

The EG2 should be installed in a dry ventilated location, where ambient conditions are
maintained within the requirements of the unit. The unit has ventilation slots on its sides to allow
convection cooling and in no circumstances should these be blocked.

Ambient atmosphere requirements

Temperature: +2°C to +40°C (+36°F to +104°F)
Humidity: 5% to 95% non-condensing
IP Rating: IP20

Dimensions Weight

159mm (w) x 90mm (h) x 58mm (d) 0.25Kg (0.55 lbs)

Mounting

Always mount in well ventilated location Allow
50mm (2”) above and below the unit if trunking
with a depth greater than 50mm (2”) is used.

Set Up Instructions

iCANnet

Connect the EG2 to the CAN network using the iCANnet connector. If the EG2 is at the
end of a network set the Term link to ON otherwise set to the OFF position.

Ethernet

Ethernet connection by RJ45 (568B). This should be connected to either an Ethernet Switch
or to a Wireless Router.

Set Up Instructions

Configuration

iCAN Device Number

The EG2 is supplied with a iCANnet Device number with Segment number 255 and a
node number in the range 1-255. Both Segment and Node number can be changed using

iCANsoft.

Factory Default IP settings

IP Address 192.168.0.100•
Mask 255.255.255.0•
DHCP Off•

Note the EG2 default settings are to use
a fixed IP address of 192.168.0.100. Any
device used to communicate with the
EG2 will need to be located within the

192.168.0.x subnet.

Power up

The EG2 takes approximately 60 seconds to be ready for use once power is applied.
Wait for the Green CAN LED to flash slowly.
The Green Power LED will double flash continuously while EG2 is on.
If Ethernet is connected the Link and Data LEDs will indicate successful connection.

Setting the IP address

The factory set IP Address can be changed using the iCANnet connection or using a
computer connected directly to the Ethernet port.

Changing with iCANnet

Connect to the iCAN network a computer running iCANsoft using a Cooper Controls PC
Node. Search the network and load the EG2 into iCANsoft.

Go the Ethernet tab. Either the Default settings can be applied or other settings can be applied.
Select OK or Apply to download the changes to the EG2.

Change IP address via the Ethernet port

EG2 is supplied from the factory without DHCP enabled; therefore, it is necessary that the
Ethernet port of the PC is set to the correct IP Address and Subnet Mask. For details of
setting the IP address of your computer consult information on line. This will depend on your
Operating System.

For example:

IP Address 192.168.0.99•
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0•
Gateway 192.168.0.1•

To connect the EG2 directly to the PC, it may be necessary to use a Crossover Cable,
however, most modern computers are able to connect directly to another Ethernet device
without a crossover cable.

The Ethernet port of your computer will need to configured to a compatible IP address.
Open iCANsoft. It will be required to set iCANsoft to communicate using the Ethernet Port.
This is done by selecting from the Tool bar Tools>Options>Network.
Select Ethernet Gateway and change the IP address to 192.168.0.100. Also ensure the ‘Use
Password’ check box is ticked. The detault password is Cooper123 (Case sentitive).

Select OK to confirm and set the
address.

iCANsoft can now be used to configure
any items connected on the network.

Set the IP address of the EG2 as
described in section above for
iCANsoft. The new IP address will
become valid when the EG2 is reset
or power to the device is removed and
re-instated.

Reset to factory defaults

Factory defaults may be reset by the following procedure:

Remove power from the board.
Press the CAN ID button and reapply power. Keep the button pressed until the CAN LED
flashes then stays on. At this point the Ethernet settings will have been restored to defaults.

After setting to factory defaults, the IP address of the device will revert to 192.168.0.100
