The AIB-4 is configured using a standard web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, and
Chrome). Enter the AIB-4’s IP address in the Address/ URL bar, typically located at the
top of the web browser page, to access the Home Page. Use the links on the left side
of the Home Page to access the desired configuration web pages.
All configuration settings are saved in non-volatile memory in the AIB-4. Settings are
retained when power is removed.
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-4 to restore a
saved configuration. A configuration file contains all of the AIB-4’s configurations
except IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. The AIB-4 does not support
partial configuration upload or download. The configuration file is a not a text formatted
file. It cannot be viewed or modified with a text editor.
To access the System Configuration web page, use the following log-on when prompted.

device. If no dial tone is detected the AIB will go on-hook, wait, and then re-attempt to
dial.
If the remote device does not answer within approximately 1 minute, the AIB will go onhook, wait, and then redial.
After remote device answers the call, the two units will negotiate a connection. If this
process fails, the AIB-4 will hang up, wait, and then redial.
After a successful connection is negotiated, the AIB will send “are you there?” messages
to the remote unit. If the remote unit does not respond within 15 seconds, the AIB will
hang up, wait, and then redial.
To sto p the AIB-4 from dialing, change the Operating Mode to Ethernet, DTMF, or

AHSC TRANSMIT ACTION
Action Label
Enter any 32 characters. This label is used in the Event Action Table.
ASCII/ HEX
The ASCII/HEX Command is 1 - 256 characters in length.
Command
Use %yz to enter a HEX value. ‘y’ and ‘z’ are values 0 - 9 or A- F.
Two characters must follow %.
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.
For SERIAL only- Use %BR to add a BREAK character as the first transmitted character.
NOTE- Spaces between characters are NOT transmitted. Use %20 to transmit a space
character.

AHSC RECEIVE EVENT
Event Label
Enter any 32 characters. This label is for convenience only and is used in the Event Action Table.
ASCII/ HEX
Enter 1- 16 characters and/or bit patterns to match against received serial data.
Receive Data
Pattern matching examples can be found in the back of this manual.
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.

EVENT ACTION TABLE
On an Event Action Table line, select an EVENT IN on the left side of the table and then
select an ACTION on the right side. Some events only support ON ACTIONS, so the
OFF ACTION entries will be grayed out.
One EVENT IN can trigger more than one ACTION. Select the same EVENT IN on
multiple lines and then select an ON or OFF ACTION on each line.
Only EVENTs and ACTIONs associated with the Remote Device’s Device Type or
Connection Type will be displayed in the drop down menus. If the desired event or
action is not displayed, then go to the Remote Device Assignment web page and change
the Device Type or Connection Type for the Remote Device.
There are 16 Sequence Timers. Use each Sequence Timer event number in multiple
lines as the Event Type to create a sequence of actions. The first Sequence entry from
the top of the table will be the first sequence action. The next Sequence entry from the
top of the table will be the next sequence action. The Event column time is the delay
before that line’s action will execute. Use Sequenc e Start a ction to start a sequence.
Use Sequence Stop/ Reset to stop a sequence. The Sequence will always start at its
first line.

When the Sequence Timer’s event time expires, the associated ON Action will execute and then
the timer for the sequence’s next entry in the Event Action Table will start.
Upon receipt of a Sequence Start action, the timer for the Sequence’s first entry in the Event
Action Table will start.
Upon receipt of a Sequence Stop action, the sequence will immediately stop. The sequence
entry in progress will halt without executing. The next Start action will cause the sequence to
start at its first entry in the Event Action Table.
When the last Sequence action executes, the sequence will automatically turn off and stop
executing. If the last Sequence action is Sequence Start, the sequence will loop until a Sequence
Stop is received.
Example #1 Wait for Sequence Start action and then play sequence until end and stop.

DNF CONTROLS LIMITED WARRANTY
DNF Controls warrants its product to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a
period of one (1) year from the date of sale to the original purchaser from DNF Controls.
In order to enforce the rights under this warranty, the customer must first 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 Department cannot fix the problem, the
customer will be issued a Returned Merchandise Authorization number (RMA). The customer will
then ship the defective product prepaid to DNF Controls with the RMA number clearly indicated
on the customer’s shipping document. The merchandise is to be shipped to:
DNF Controls
19770 Bahama St.
Northridge, CA 91324
USA
Failure to obtain a proper RMA number prior to returning the product may result in the return not
being accepted, or in a charge for the required repair.
DNF Controls, at its 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 UPS Ground for shipments within the United States of America. Shipments to
international customers will be sent via air. Should a customer require the product to be returned
in a more expeditious manner, the return shipment will be billed to their freight account.
This warranty will be considered null and void if accident, misuse, abuse, improper line voltage,
fire, water, lightning or other acts of God damaged the product. All repair parts are to be supplied
by DNF Controls, either directly or through its authorized dealer network. Similarly, any repair
work not performed by either DNF Controls or its authorized dealer may void the warranty.
After the warranty period has expired, DNF Controls offers repair services at prices listed in the
DNF Controls Price List. DNF Controls reserves the right to refuse repair of any unit outside the
warranty period that is deemed non-repairable.
DNF Controls shall not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or other types of
damage resulting from the use of the product.
