Ethernet Interface Module
Installation Sheet Model# EIM WEIM
Ethernet Interface Module General Information The Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) is a device that makes communications from a PC to a Greengate panel or network of panels possible over an Internet connection. The PC can be local within the building complex or located at a remote location. The Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) converts data packets sent over the TCP/IP connection to RS-232 communications. The Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) uses a 10Base-T connection. One Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) is needed per Lighting Control Network unless using the VisionTouch software. If VisionTouch software is being used, it is recommended that an Ethernet Interface Module be dedicated to VisionTouch use. Please contact technical support for further details. If panels are not networked, one Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) will be needed per panel.
TCP/IP Intranet Connection from a Local Location NOTE: In this scenario, it is not necessary to access the external, public internet. The Ethernet Interface Module may be accessed directly.

The Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) must be configured by a qualified Network Administrator provided by the customer. The customer must also provide an IP address for each Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) Device being used and be able to support TCP/IP communications protocol. It may also be necessary for the Network Administrator to perform firewall programming to allow for remote access to the device depending on system setup and desired computer access.
Ethernet Interface Module Configuration
Typical Layouts The Ethernet Interface Module may be used to allow access only from within the internal building LAN or may also be set up by a qualified Network Administrator for external access through the internet. The following pictures depict these types of configurations.

In order for the Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) to work properly with your application, it will be necessary for the Network Administrator to set up the Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) device(s). There are two steps to configuring the ethernet interface module: Setting the IP Address and Configuring the Communications Settings. Both steps must be performed in order for the unit to communicate properly with the lighting control system. Greengate recommends the direct serial method using hyperterminal mode, especially if the computer you are using to configure the Ethernet Interface Module on is not tied into the building LAN.
The instructions that follow describe the setup of the device using the hyperterminal method. Regardless of what methodology is used to configure the unit, the important settings that must be configured include the following:
IP Address must be statically assigned Subnet mask must be set Default Gateway Address must be assigned The I/F mode must be changed to 7C. The IP Port must be configured if a port number other than
5. After the port settings have been applied, you will be at a blank HyperTerminal Window. Press and hold the “x” key down on your computer keyboard while powering up the Ethernet Interface Module (EIM). The following screen will be displayed.
the default port of 10001 is desired.
Failure to configure the above settings will result in the failure of the device to communicate with the Lighting Control System
Step 1: Setting the IP Address in the EIM: Hyperterminal Method The Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) has the capability of being configured in part by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server. This is not the recommended method of configuration. Supplying a Static IP Address is recommended so that the IP address does not get inadvertently changed. 1. Using the provided standard RS-232 communications cable, plug the unpowered Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) device into an available COM port on your computer. 2. Open a Terminal Emulation software package such as HyperTerminal supplied with the Windows Operating System. 3. Create a new session within the Terminal Emulation Software using the COM port that the Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) is connected to as the Connection mode. Set up the HyperTerminal Software Port Settings as follows: Bits Per Second
9600
Data Bits
8
Parity
None
Stop Bits
1
Flow Control

4. Apply these settings to the new session by clicking OK.

6. Press the <ENTER> key to go into the Setup Mode. (If the enter key is not pressed quickly enough, you will get ASCII characters at the prompt. If this occurs, you will need to close down and reopen the hyperterminal session and perform the previous step again.) 7. The Change Setup Screen will be displayed with the current parameters for the device that is plugged into the COM port. At the prompt, press the 0 (zero) key and hit the <ENTER> key.
8. Please enter the following information:
IP Address
This is the address that needs to be supplied by the Network Administrator/IT Department. It will be the device’s static IP Address. Enter the address followed by the enter key.
Set Gateway IP Address
Type “Y”
Gateway IP Addr:
The Gateway IP Address is the address of the TCP/IP network’s Gateway/Router. The Network Administrator should supply this. Enter the address followed by the <ENTER> key.
Netmask
A Netmask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned for the host section. Note: Class A=24 bits, Class B=16 bits, Class C=8 bits. The Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) prompts for the number of host bits to be entered, then calculates the netmask which is displayed in standard decimal-dot notation when the saved parameters are displayed. Ex. Entering 8 bits would give the subnetmask of 255.255.255.0.

Step 2: Setting the Communications Parameters in the EIM: Hyperterminal Method
4. From the Change Setup Option Menu, prompt, press 9 to save and exit. 5. Close the HyperTerminal Session and disconnect the device from the COM port. 6. Connect the device at a lighting control panel as described in the Installation Notes Section of these instructions.

Connecting the EIM to the Lighting Panel After configuration of the device(s) is complete, it will be necessary to connect the device(s) according to the following instructions:
Connecting the Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) to the Lighting Control Panel 1. Connect the supplied phone style communications cable to the adapter head part number 52-018703-00 and connect the adapter head to the Ethernet Interface Module (EIM)’s serial port. 2. Connect the other end of the communications cable to the RJ11 phone style COM port on the Lighting Control Panel. (On some controllers, there are two RJ11 style connectors. Please connect it to the connector labeled RS-232.) 3. Connect CAT5, 10BaseT Internet connection to the RJ45 Ethernet Port on the other side of the Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) device and run to the Network Hub. 4. Plug in the Power Adapter supplied with the device.
