1 INTRODUCTION
The EC400 is high performance, reliable and secure network
infrastructure device for accessing Cooper Lon Network of
addressable Fire panels over Intranet or Ethernet.
It's built in configuration server manages up to 256 IP devices on
one IP channel without a dedicated management PC.
It supports DHCP even with changing IP addresses in an Intranet
environment.
Easy to understand , diagnostic LED's allow installers to install
and trouble shoot the device without expert knowledge and
dedicated troubleshooting tool.
To connect the Cooper Lon network via Intranet will require a
minimum of two EC400's.The first EC400 must be configured as
a "Configuration Server" and the second as a "Client as shown in
Fig1.
EC400 configured as a Server requires the address list of all the
EC400’s IP addresses in the network.
fig.1 application example EC400 requires only
IP address to be
configured
Connect power 9-24 Volts supply to EC400 as shown in Fig2 , for
safety, it is recommended to use the panel 24 volts supply as
this supply is battery back up in case of mains failure.Connect
the internet cable as shown in Fig2.
2.1 Switch Settings
The EC400 has 7 switches to select the operating mode as
shown in Fig 3
The EC400 must be configured to operate in a repeater mode,
where all messages are forwarded regardless of the address
format.
To put the EC400 into repeater mode, the following steps need to
be performed.
1- DIP- switch 1, 3 must be ON
2- DIP- switch 2 must be off
3- Press status button for at least 20 seconds.
2.2 Wiring
Each network connected to EC400 needs to be terminated with
100 ohms resistor.
Note: Only one side of the shielded cable should either be
connected to the EC400 of the panel earth but never at more
than one place

Select 5 from the configuration menu. The following menu will appear.
Fig 8 IP Configuration Menu
There are two modes of setting the IP address, either DHCP (this will be done automatically) or manually by entering the IP address, net
mask and gateway address
3.1 Manually Setting IP configuration for Client Device via Console
From the menu above select 5 from the L-IP configuration menu and then enter IP address, net mask and gateway address. These
addresses are available from your IT administrator.
Note: You must use different IP addresses if you are using multiple L-IP in your setup.
Press x to save the IP settings and reset the EC400 in order to let the new IP settings take effect.
You should now be able to add this EC400 to yourchannel IP list in the configuration server member list. More detailed instructions can be
found in next section.
3.2 DHCP
Switches between manual entry of the IP address, net mask and gateways address to automatic configuration from a DHCP server.
If DHCP is disabled then select 1 from menu in Fig 8 above and the following prompt will appear
Select 1 auto IP mode (0-disabled. 1 -BOOTP. 2 DHCP).
Press 2 for DHCP, following menu will appear.

Fig 9 DHCP
Press "X "to exit and save and power down and up the EC400 and log the IP address as this will be required further on.

The EC400 has a built in web server and web interface to
configure EC400, extract statistics information, save
configuration to a file on your hard disc and to restore a
previously saved configuration.
The Web interface allows configuring the IP settings, EIA852
device settings and it allows adding and removing Channel IP
devices to the configuration server device list. Optionally to
using the console interface, one can also use the web interface
to configure the client device.
In your favourite web browser you can either use the Default IP
address is the IP address ifnot know (192.168.1..254) or enter
the system IP address of the server in the previous section.The
following menu will be shown.
Click on "Config" in the left menu, and enter the administrator
password in order to make changes to the settings (i.e.
changing the IP address or configure one of the EC400's on the
network as a main server).
If the EC400 should act as the configuration server for all the
EC400' on the network then select the EIA 852 configuration
server menu

Enable the configuration server and then press save settings.
All the IP addresses of the EC400's on the Cooper network must
be entered into the Configuration server channel list.
Please click on the EIA852 Ch.list on the left menu.
Click on add

flag must be shown
Fig13 Config Channel List
Please check that all the CNIP-led's on all the EC400's are green
You should now be able to communicate via Ethernet channel.
To reduce the traffic of information if more than 5 EC400's are on the network, it is recommended to use multicast addressing mode.
IP-multicast is a technique to send data efficiently to many recipients at the same time in one IP network. All devices get the same
multicast address in one multicast group.
Valid address range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
Enter the multicast address in the IP menu above (section 3)

The EC400 is equipped with LED's as shown in Fig2 , these can be used as diagnostic tool without the need of specialist equipment.
7.1 Power LED (Green)
The EC400 power LED lights up green when power is supplied to terminal 16, 17 (Fig 2)
7.2 Status LED (Red)
During boot up, the status LED is used to signal error condition .After boot-up the status LED is used to signal write accesses to flash
memory( on for the duration of every write access) If the fall back-image is executed the status LED flashes red once every second.
7.3 Link LED (Ethernet Link LED)
The Ethernet Link LED lights up green whenever an Ethernet cable is plugged and physical connection with a switch Hub or PC is
established.
7.4 Activity LED (Ethernet Activity LED)
The Ethernet activity LED lights up Green for 6ms whenever a packet of data is transmitted or received or when a collision is detected on
the network cable.
7.5 CNIP LED (EIA-852 Status LED)
The CNIP led is a tri-colour LED that indicates different operating states of the EC400 device
Green: Device is fully functional and all CNIP configuration data (channel routing information, send list) are up to date.
Green Flashing: If a valid data packet is received or transmitted over the IP channel, the CNIP LED turns off for 50ms.Only valid EC400
packets sent to the IP address of the EC400 can be seen. Stale packets or packets not addressedto the EC400 are not seen.
Yellow: Device is functional but some configuration data is not up to date (device can not address configuration server but has
configuration data saved in Flash memory)
Red: Device is not functional because it was rejected from the Channel List or shut down itself due to an internal error condition.
OFF: Device is not functional because the CNIP has not started. This can be the case if EC499 uses DHCP and it has not received a
valid IP configuration (address) from the DHCP server.
RED Flashing: Device is not functional because the CNIP module is started but has not been configured. Please add the device
Channel IP channel (register in the configuration server (section 4 above).
7.6 Server LED (configuration server)
The Configuration Server LED illuminates green whenever the configuration server is activated on the EC400 device.
7.7 Status Button
The EC400 is equiped with a status button (See Fig2).When pressing, the status button for few seconds during normal operation, it
sends "Service Pin Message" on both network ports. The EC400 has a unique ID.
When pressing the status button during normal normal operation for more than 20 seconds, the EC400 will load the factory default
settings.
