1. OVERVIEW
The AnyWhere Interface Box (AIB) maps an EVENT input to an ACTION output.
EVENT Inputs- GPI Input, Serial Receive, Ethernet Receive, and Periodic Timer
ACTION Outputs- GPO Output, Serial Transmit, Ethernet Transmit, and SNMP Transmit
Any EVENT can trigger any ACTION. One EVENT can trigger one ACTION. One EVENT can
trigger multiple ACTIONs. GPI events trigger an ON ACTION and an OFF ACTION. Serial
Receive, Ethernet Receive and Periodic Timer events trigger only ON ACTIONs.
Use the EVENT ACTION TABLE
EVENTS
A GPI ON event triggers an ON ACTION when the GPI turns on. A GPI OFF event triggers an
OFF ACTION when it turns OFF. Use the “Do Nothing” action to ignore the GPI ON or OFF
event. Use the GPI EVENTS
A Serial Receive and Ethernet Receive event turns ON, when received data matches the
assigned, user entered data pattern, and then triggers an ON ACTION. Receive events do not
trigger OFF ACTIONs. The Ethernet Receive data must come from the assigned IP address and
Port number.
Serial and Ethernet Receive data pattern matching supports simple and complex pattern
matching. Match a single received ASCII (ie: ‘A’) character or match a group of received
characters (ie: ‘control_on‘). Match ASCII, binary and hexadecimal characters. Match the whole
received character, the first half, the second half, specific bits, or ignore the whole character.
Refer to the USAGE instructions on the serial and Ethernet receive event web pages.
Use the
ETHERNET RECEIVE EVENTS

Page 3 of 26
The Periodic Timer is a continuously running timer with a user assigned time period, 100
milliseconds to 1500 milliseconds (1.5 seconds). When the Timer time period expires, the Timer
triggers an ON ACTION, and then automatically restarts itself. Use the EVENT ACTION TABLE
web page to configure periodic timers
ACTIONS
GPO ON and GPO OFF actions are individually configurable for the 8 GPOs– Latch, Momentary,
and Toggle. Specify the momentary on time. Also, configure GPOs to operate as a radio group
(turning one on automatically turns the other members of the group off) or flip flop (a radio group
of just two GPOs). Use the GPO ACTIONS
The Serial Transmit action transmits a user entered group of characters out the serial port.
Configure the serial port’s Transmit/ Receive baud rate and parity. 8-data bits. 1 Stop and Start
bit. BREAK character (18 bits times), %BR, is supported.
The Ethernet Transmit action transmits a user entered group of characters to the user assigned
IP Address and Port Number. UDP, TCP/IP (client and server), and SNMP are supported.
The Transmit action transmits ASCII and HEX characters, up to 256 in length. Add a %WT,
WAIT, to delay transmission of characters, 1 to 999 milliseconds. The characters
preceding %WT are sent immediately. The characters after %WT are sent when the wait timer
expires. More than one WAIT can be included in a transmit action.

POWER
The AnyWhere Interface Box is powered from an Ethernet switcher/ router that supports Power Over
Ethernet (POE), or from an optional external power supply. The AIB requires 12 volts DC at 2 amps from
an external power supply and 13 Watts from POE switch. An external power supply may be purchased
from DNF Controls.

Press the RESET switch on the rear of the AIB to reboot it.
Press and hold the RESET switch for 10 seconds to reset the IP address, subnet mask, Gateway, and
configuration to factory defaults.
CONFIGURATION
The AnyWhere Interface Box is configured using a standard web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, and
Chrome). Enter the AIB’s IP address in the Address/ URL bar, typically located at the top of the web
browser page, to access the AIB’s Home Page. Use the links on the left side of the Home Page to
access the desired configuration web page.
All configuration settings are saved in non-volatile memory in the AIB. Settings are retained when power
is removed from the AIB.
Settings may be uploaded to a computer as a configuration file (.dnf) for storage. Configuration files may
be downloaded from a computer into the AIB to restore a saved configuration. A configuration file
contains all of the AIB’s configurations except IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. The AIB
does not support partial configuration upload or download. The configuration file is a not a text formatted
file. It can not be viewed or modified with a text editor.

Event Label Enter any 32 characters. This label is for convenience only and is used in the Event Action Table.
ASCII/ HEX
Receive Data
Pattern matching examples can be found in the back of this manual.
Enter 1- 16 characters and/or bit patterns to match against received serial data.
The received characters must exactly match the order and value of the entered patterns. If a received
character does not match the entered pattern, all previous matches are discarded and the match
process begins again with the first entered pattern. If more than 1 second elapses between received
characters, all previous matches are discarded and the match process begins again.
Use %yz to enter a HEX character. ‘y’ and ‘z’ are values 0 - 9, A - F, or 'X' (don’t care).
Enter %Xz to match only the z part of the HEX character. Enter %yX to match only the y part of the
HEX character. Enter %XX to ignore the received value.
Use #yyyyyyyy to match an exact bit pattern. ‘y’ values are '0', '1', or 'X' (don't care). For example,
enter #0XXX1XXX to match bit7= 0 and bit3= 1. Bit0 is on the far right. Bit7 is on the far left.
Use <yyyyyyyy to match any bit in the bit pattern. ‘y’ values are '0', '1', or 'X' (don't care). For
example, enter <0XXX1XXX to match bit7=0 or bit3= 1. Bit0 is on the far right. Bit7 is on the far left.
Use '!' to NOT match a character pattern. For example: Event Label= TEST. Receive pattern= !A.
If any character other than 'A' is received, then TEST event is ON. If 'A' is received, then TEST event
is OFF. Use !y, !%yz, or !#yyyyyyyy to specify a NOT pattern match.
NOTE- Spaces between patterns are ignored. Use %20 to match a space character.

Action Label Enter any 32 characters. This label is for convenience only and is used in the Event Action Table.
ASCII/ HEX
Command
The ASCII/HEX Command is 1 - 256 characters in length.
Use %yz to enter a HEX value. ‘y’ and ‘z’ are values 0 - 9 or A- F. Two characters must follow %.
Use %BR to add a serial BREAK (18 bit times). BREAK is valid only at the beginning of a
command and must be followed by at least one character.
Use %WTttt to add a WAIT time, 001 - 999 milliseconds. Three numbers must follow %WT. The
characters preceding %WT are sent immediately. The characters after %WTttt are sent after the
wait time expires. More than one %WT can be included in a command. NOTE- %WT is only an
approximate wait time.
NOTE- Spaces between characters are NOT transmitted. Use %20 to transmit a space character.

Event Label Enter any 32 characters. This label is for convenience only and is used in the Event Action
Table.
ASCII/ HEX
Receive Data
Enter 1- 16 characters and/or bit patterns to match against received serial data.
The received characters must exactly match the order and value of the entered patterns. If a
received character does not match the entered pattern, all previous matches are discarded and
the match process begins again with the first entered pattern. If more than 1 second elapses
between received characters, all previous matches are discarded and the match process begins
again.
Use %yz to enter a HEX character. ‘y’ and ‘z’ are values 0 - 9, A - F, or 'X' (don’t care).
Enter %Xz to match only the z part of the HEX character. Enter %yX to match only the y part of
the HEX character. Enter %XX to ignore the received value.
Use #yyyyyyyy to match an exact bit pattern. ‘y’ values are '0', '1', or 'X' (don't care). For
example, enter #0XXX1XXX to match bit7= 0 and bit3= 1. Bit0 is on the far right. Bit7 is on the
far left.
Use <yyyyyyyy to match any bit in the bit pattern. ‘y’ values are '0', '1', or 'X' (don't care). For
example, enter <0XXX1XXX to match bit7=0 or bit3= 1. Bit0 is on the far right. Bit7 is on the far
left.
Use '!' to NOT match a character pattern. For example: Event Label= TEST. Receive
pattern= !A. If any character other than 'A' is received, then TEST event is ON. If 'A' is
received, then TEST event is OFF. Use !y, !%yz, or !#yyyyyyyy to specify a NOT pattern
match.
NOTE- Spaces between patterns are ignored. Use %20 to match a space character.
Pattern matching examples can be found in the back of this manual.

contact DNF’s Customer Support Department to afford the opportunity of identifying and
fixing the problem without sending the unit in for repair. If DNF’s Customer Support

option, will repair or replace the defective unit. DNF Controls will return the unit prepaid
to the customer. The method of shipment is at the discretion of DNF Controls, principally
