1 Introduction
1.1 System Description
This chapter describes the basic design of the PROMATRIX 8000 system and its most important functions. The following
block diagram shows a PROMATRIX system installation with a DPM 8016 central unit, paging stations, audio devices,
amplifiers, relay cards and loudspeaker zones.
GENERAL OVERVIEW
The DPM 8016 is the modular, network-compatible central
unit of the PROMATRIX 8000 system. 8 slots for the instal-
lation of audio input and/or output modules offer the pos-
sibility to match the system to individual requirements.
The DPM 8016 provides all necessary audio functions and
takes over the control and monitoring of the entire
PROMATRIX 8000 system. The type and amount of con-
nected audio signal sources, amplifiers, and relay cards is
extremely variable and can be adapted to the specific re-
quirements. A single DPM 8016 is capable of managing up
to 16 paging stations and up to 500 A/B zones. For larger
system installations, up to 10 DPM 8016 can be networked
via digital audio bus and control bus. More than 100 con-
trol inputs and control outputs are available for control
and monitoring tasks, where both logic levels as well as an-
alog levels can be processed and generated. Configura-
tion, documentation, and graphical user interface are
created on a PC with the help of the IRIS-Net software ap-
plication. Changing a configuration is possible at any time
to meet new requirements and conditions, without inter-

fering with the installation of the system. The PC only
needs to be connected to the system to load or to change
the configuration. During operation, it is not required. In
many cases, however, a permanently connected PC is very
helpful, e.g. for detailed status indication and protocol
printing, volume level and sound control in real-time, or for
remote diagnosis and remote maintenance via the net-
work. The user interface can be individually designed and
provided with up to 32 password levels.
AUDIO ROUTING
The DPM 8016 integrates a digital 32 x 16 audio matrix
that offers both switching functions and mixing functions
in arbitrary combination. Up to 16 local audio inputs plus
16 optional CobraNet network inputs are available. It is
possible to use the 16 matrix outputs locally as audio out-
puts or to optionally make them available via CobraNet.
This allows the parallel use of 16 audio channels in a sys-
tem that can be connected to amplifiers. Each loudspeaker
group can be connected to amplifier outputs using a relay
matrix, which allows the realization of 500 A/B loudspeak-
er zones (1,000 loudspeaker circuits) while the DPM 8016
takes over the management and priority-dependent distri-
bution of the audio signals. Next to connecting paging sta-
tions to the audio inputs, it is also possible to connect
other audio signal sources, like for example microphones,
mixers, CD Players, MP3 Players, tuners, etc. Different
connectors are available for optimal adaptation.
AUDIO PROCESSING
The DPM 8016 provides a separate volume control with
mute function for each audio input and audio output. Each
audio input has a 3-band equalizer and a compressor for
optimal sound adjustment of the audio sources. All out-
puts have a 5-band equalizer and a limiter. It is possible to
chose between six different filter types for each band filter
of the equalizers (peak, low shelving, high shelving, high
pass, low pass, all pass). Level settings, filter parameters,
etc. are set during the configuration on the PC. However,
they can be modified in real-time during operation using
the graphical user interface, the special keys of the paging
stations or external controls.
SIGNAL GENERATORS
The DPM 8016 provides four signal generators: two inde-
pendent signal generators for the generation of alarm sig-
nals and two independent signal generators for the
generation of chime signals. The user can select from 24
factory pre-set alarms and six gong signals.
PAGING STATIONS
The DPC 8000 Series paging stations are used mainly for
announcements but also for manual control of the
PROMATRIX 8000 system. Possible paging station func-
tions are group / zone selection, announcements, program
assignment, triggering of gong and alarm signals as well as
voice memory playback. Moreover, the paging stations can
also be used for special commands, like volume control,
monitor selection, preset switching, lighting control, indi-
cation of functions and many others. The paging stations
can hence be configured to function as control panels for
general control purposes. If an announcement is made
from a paging station into loudspeaker groups that are al-
ready busy reproducing another signal, you will get a
"busy" message, i.e. the BUSY LED indicator blinks. If the
own station has a higher priority setting, it can interrupt
the call from the station or any other signal with a lower
priority. Of course, this does not happen uncontrolled,
since the system configuration is already displayed by the
flashing BUSY LED indicator during group selection, i.e.
before an interruption takes place. The user now has the
opportunity to decide whether he wants to interrupt the
currently active message or wait until it ends. Each zone
selection key provides two LED indicators: a green LED in-
dicates the current selection and a yellow LED indicates
the current state of the loudspeaker zone (busy, free,
alarm active). The illuminated graphical display of the pag-
ing station shows system status information or error mes-
sages.
CONTROL INPUTS AND CONTROL OUTPUTS
The PROMATRIX 8000 system provides analog as well as
digital control inputs and control outputs. Using the con-
trol inputs allows establishing a connection to fire alarm
systems, intrusion systems or to a control room. However,
the connection of external switches, pushbuttons, con-
trols or rotary encoders is likewise possible. It is also pos-
sible to query the control outputs of external devices
(power supply unit, power amplifier, etc.). The control out-
puts are used to switch on / off external devices, trigger
signals or events, remotely control doors, gates or blinds,
create analog signal levels for media control systems, and
much more.
AUTOMATED CONTROL
The DPM 8016 has a real time clock that can be switched
to DCF77 radio controlled clock operation using an option-
ally available receiving aerial (radio receiver NRS 90193).
The system clock automatically recognizes leap years. In
DCF77 operation, the system clock also automatically
switches between daylight saving time and standard time.
The system clock can control up to 40 external slave
clocks. For this purpose, the DPM 8016 provides a special
short-circuit-proof output for polarity reversal pulses.
Slave clocks are automatically adjusted when a time differ-
ence to the system clock is being detected, e.g. after a
power outage or after manually entering a time value. The
system clock can be used in conjunction with the calendar
function to trigger functions, such as recess gong, music
reproduction, door or gate control, lighting control, etc. at
certain times. These functions can be programmed for spe-
cific days, but they can also be executed on an hourly, dai-
ly, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. It is possible to
program up to 500 time-triggered events. Functions and
parameters can be combined in an internal sequential
process. The TaskEngine of the DPM 8016 provides a pos-
sibility to arrange individual processes graphically. An ex-
ample would be a gong signal, which is to be transmitted
in certain zones with a certain volume level and priority,
while simultaneously triggering a control output. In this
case, the process consists of the function-blocks "Gong"
and "Analog Output" with the parameters gong type, vol-
ume level, priority number setting, zone numbers and type
and number of the control output. The processes can be
triggered by special function keys on the paging stations or
by control inputs, but also be linked to clock times or cal-
endar dates.

INTERFACES
Besides offering control inputs and control outputs, the
PROMATRIX 8000 system additionally provides other in-
terfaces as well. The connection of the paging stations to
the DPM 8016 is established via the PCA bus (CAN bus
standard). Up to four paging stations may be connected to
a single PCA bus. Power amplifiers and the DCS 400 con-
trol system are controlled via another independent CAN
bus interface. Connection to a PC is established via the
Ethernet interface. The Ethernet interface is used to link
and control several DPM 8016 on the network, while the
redundantly implemented optional CobraNet interface is
used for the transmission of audio data.
SAFETY FEATURES
The DPM 8016 monitors all internal functions. Further-
more, the connected paging stations and power amplifiers
including cable connections are monitored through polling
and pilot tone monitoring. For the case of using DPA 8000
system power amplifiers, the loudspeaker lines can be
monitored by means of "End Of Line" modules installed at
the ends of the loudspeaker lines.
The PROMATRIX 8000 system is prepared for emergency
power supply operation. In case of power outage, the
DPM 8016 takes over the entire power management, i.e.
any internal or external power consumer that is not need-
ed will be switched into standby mode or off. They will
again be activated only when needed. This reduces the
power consumption considerably and ensures a maximum
operating time when on battery operation. Fault messages
are displayed in clear text on the display of the paging sta-
tions. Collective fault messages are available via floating
contact on the DPM 8016.
OPERATING NOTES
Within the scope of specified possibilities and specifica-
tions of this product, the DPM 8016 can be used for the
controlling and monitoring of sound reinforcement and
paging systems in the area of building installation, but also
for professional audio systems.

The ventilation direction is from left to right when looking
at the DPM 8016 from the front. The installation of devices
with reverse air circulation within the same rack shelf/cab-
inet should be avoided whenever possible. When installing
the DPM 8016 in enclosures or rack shelf cabinets, make
sure to arrange for a free air duct between both sides of
the DPM 8016 and the inner walls of the rack shelf or cab-
inet and up to the vent of the rack shelf or cabinet, to en-
sure sufficient ventilation for the installed devices. Also
arrange for a free space of at least 100 mm above the cab-
inet for ventilation.
CAUTION: To ensure trouble-free operation, the maxi-
mum ambient temperature of +45 °C must
not be exceeded.
The use of commercially available rackmount rails is man-
datory to prevent the front panel from twisting or warping
when installing the DPM 8016 in rack cabinets or transport
racks.
The DPM 8016 has to be protected against:
If it is impossible to permanently maintain the above re-
quirements, the unit stringently requires regular mainte-
nance, to prevent possible failure, which substantially
might be caused by negative environmental influences.
When the DPM 8016 is moved directly from a cold in a
warm place, condensation might occur; vapor in the air
could condense on the inner parts of the appliance. Taking
the DPM 8016 into operation is only allowable after stabi-
lizing at the changed surrounding temperature (approxi-
mately after one hour). Immediately separate the
DPM 8016 from the power supply if a foreign object has
fallen into or liquids have been spilled over the appliance.
Have the unit checked by an authorized service center, be-
fore continuing to use the appliance.
FRONTAL MOUNTING
Refer to the following illustration for frontal mounting of
the DPM 8016, using four screws and washers.
To prevent the front panel from twisting or warping, the
use of rackmount rails is mandatory for installing.
1.4 IRIS-Net
The PC software application IRIS-Net (Intelligent Remote &
Integrated Supervision) is used for the configuration and
operation of the DPM 8016. The entire configuration of the
DPM 8016 can be created off-line (i.e. without connection
between PC and DPM 8016) on the PC. After establishing
a connection via Ethernet between PC and DPM 8016, the
configuration data is transferred to the DPM 8016.
Besides creating configurations, IRIS-Net can also be used
for comprehensive control and monitoring of an entire
PROMATRIX 8000 system. For detailed information about
the installation of IRIS-Net on a PC, please refer to the file
"iris_readme.pdf". During installation, the IRIS-Net owner's
manual is automatically copied onto the computer's hard
drive.

Number Component Description
1 ACTIVE LED indicator The ACTIVE LED indicator lights green when the digital audio network is in operation
2 TIME LED indicator The green TIME LED indicator indicates the operating state of the DCF77 radio controlled clock receiver. The following
operating states are possible:
• Off: There is no radio controlled clock signal present or the radio clock receiving aerial is disconnected. The system clock
is quartz locked.
• On: The radio controlled clock signal is in order. The system clock synchronizes to the DCF77 signal.
• Blinking, in intervals of one second: The radio controlled clock signal is present and the system clock synchronizes. This
process may take up to 2 minutes. The LED indicator lights continuously after successful completion of the synchroniza-
tion.
• Fast flashing: The radio controlled clock signal is present but it is interfered. The radio clock antenna should either be
realigned or mounted at another location which offers improved reception.
3 STANDBY LED indicator The STANDBY LED indicator lights yellow, whenever the appliance is in standby mode.
4 MASTER LED indicator The MASTER LED indicator lights green, when this specific DPM 8016 acts as the master in the digital audio network.
5 FAULT LED indicator This LED indicator lights yellow during the reset of the appliance or if a watchdog error occurred in the DPM 8016. The
indicator additionally signals errors that have occurred in external parts of the system (power amplifiers, paging stations,
relay cards, etc.). The LED is coupled to the READY-contact on the rear of the appliance (see page 13), which allows repor-
ting malfunctioning of the system to devices outside of the system.
6 FAULT pushbutton Press the FAULT pushbutton to acknowledge the occurrence of a fault in the system and to deactivate the signal sound.
7 POWER LED indicator This LED indicator lights green, as soon as the voltage supply of the DPM 8016 (24 V) has been connected. The indicator is

Supervision) software application on the PC.
Please refer to IRIS-Net's installation manual in the
file "iris_readme.pdf".
8. Start the IRIS-Net application on the PC.
3.2 Installation of expansion modules
This chapter describes the possibilities for expanding the
DPM 8016 with expansion modules. There are different
options to equip the DPM 8016 with expansion modules:
CAUTION: Separating the DPM 8016 from the voltage
supply when installing a new module is man-
datory. For detailed information about
installation procedures, please refer to the
individual description of the corresponding
module.
ANALOG AUDIO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Eight slots are provided on the rear of the DPM 8016 for
the installation of analog audio inputs or audio outputs.
The slots are labeled 1 to 8 (see page 9). These slots allow
for the installation of the following expansion cards in ar-
bitrary combination:
The slots for the installation of expansion cards can be
freely selected. After installing, the DPM 8016 automatical-
ly recognizes the cards.
NETWORK MODULE
The network module slot on the rear of the DPM 8016 pro-
vides the possibility to retrofit an audio network interface
for connecting to a CobraNet. The CM-1 module that
serves this purpose has two Ethernet ports for setting up
a redundant network.
3.3 Supply Voltage
For power supply, the DPM 8016 requires a DC voltage
source of 24 volts. The maximum power consumption of a
DPM 8016 depends on its actual equipment with expan-
sion cards and the number of eventually connected periph-
erals (e.g. paging stations). It is recommended to use the
system power supplies DPP 4004 or DPP 4012. The follow-
ing table shows the power consumption for different com-
ponents.
• 8 expansion slots for expanding the system with analog audio inputs
(UI-1) or analog audio outputs (AO-1)
• 1 network module slot for installing an audio network module (e.g.
the CM-1 CobraNet module)
• DPM UI-1 Universal Input Module with 2 analog audio inputs
• DPM AO-1 Analog Output Module with 2 analog audio outputs

3.4 Interface description
ETHERNET INTERFACE
By connecting the DPM 8016 system controller
via the Ethernet interface, the communication
between the DPM 8016 and one or several PC
is possible. This allows the configuration of
DPM 8016 via IRIS-Net software. Furthermore,
the whole PROMATRIX 8000 system can be op-
erated and monitored. By using appropriate network hard-
ware it is even possible to operate the DPM 8016 via a
wireless network (WLAN). The Ethernet interface on the
rear of DPM 8016 is a RJ-45 connector (8P8C). Both
10Base-T and 100Base-TX Ethernet standards are support-
ed. The connections of the Ethernet interfaces can be seen
in the following figure and table.
The pin assignment of the Ethernet connector is shown in
the following figure. The connector is viewed from the con-
tact side.
The maximum length of a connected cable segment is 100
meters in both Ethernet standards, in which two twisted
pairs are used in one cable. Category 3 (unshielded CAT-3)
can be used for 10Base-T communication. Category 5
(CAT-5) must be used for 100Base-TX. Cat-5 cable is com-
patible with 10Base-T as well.
If the DPM 8016 is connected via a patch cable to a hub/
switch, the wiring of the cable at pin 1 of the first connec-
tor has to be connected with Pin 1 of the other connector;
this is the same regarding the other pins as well. There are
the T568A and T568B standards for the colors of the differ-
ent wires used. However, T568B standard is more widely-
used.
Status LEDs
The status of the Ethernet interface is indicated by a yel-
low and a green LED. If the Ethernet interface is not used
both LEDs are off. The yellow connectivity LED a the left
side of the Ethernet interface lights, when the DPM 8016
has established a Ethernet connection to another device,
e.g. another DPM 8016 or an Ethernet switch. The green
network traffic LED at the right side of the Ethernet inter-
face lights when sending or receiving a data packet.
Crossover cable
If a crossover cable is used in order to connect a DPM 8016
with a PC directly, pair 2 has to be interchanged with pair
3 on one side of the crossover cable. Thus, the necessary
swap of the sending and receiving lines that is internally
processed in a hub/switch takes place.
REMOTE CAN BUS INTERFACE
This section contains information about con-
necting the DPM 8016 to the REMOTE CAN
BUS.
Connecting the REMOTE CAN BUS
Each bus member has two RJ-45 connectors for the RE-
MOTE CAN BUS. The connectors are connected in parallel
and serve as input or output (for a loop-through) of the re-
mote network. The CAN bus has to be terminated with a
120 terminating resistance at both ends. Therefore, two
terminating connectors 120 are included with the
DPM 8016. Please plug these terminating connectors in
the free RJ-45 connectors of the first and the last device at
the CAN bus.
The CAN bus makes it possible to use different data trans-
mission rates, in which the baud rate is indirectly propor-
tional to the length of the bus. If the network is only
slightly extended, higher baud rates up to 500 kbit/s are
possible. In case of larger extensions, the baud rate has to
be lowered (to a min. transmission rate of 10 kbit/s).
NOTE: The data rate of the CAN bus is preset to
10 kbit/s.
The following table explains the relationship between
baud rate and length of the bus or extension of the net-
work. In principle, bus lengths over 1000 meters should
only be realized with repeaters.

The pin assignment of the REMOTE CAN BUS interface can
be seen in the following illustrations.
STATUS LED Indicator
The STATUS LED indicator allows monitoring the
communication on the REMOTE CAN BUS. If the
CAN interface is not in use, the LED indicator is de-
activated. During normal operation, the LED indicator
blinks in intervals of two seconds. The time that the LED
indicator is lit within these two seconds corresponds to
the bus load, i.e. with high load, the LED indicator lights
longer within two seconds than with low bus load.
USB INTERFACE
The USB interface on the front panel of the
DPM 8016 uses the USB 1.1 standard. Accord-
ingly, the low speed (1,5 MBit/s) and full speed
(12 MBit/s) transfer rates are supported. Ac-
cording to USB specifications, the cable which
is connected to this interface must not be longer than 5
meters. The USB interface of the DPM 8016 is a USB-B (fe-
male) connector.
The standard pin configuration can be seen in the follow-
ing figure and table.
RS-232 INTERFACE
The configuration of the RS-232 interface of
the DPM 8016 is given in the following table.
The pins of the RS-232 interface used in the DPM 8016 are
indicated in the following illustration and table. Connec-
tions which are not given are internally connected in the
DPM 8016 so that the communication between the
DPM 8016 and the connected device is possible via a soft-
ware handshake system. The cable which is used for the
connection should not be longer than 15 meters.

CONTROL PORT
The control port on the rear
of the DPM 8016 is divided
into two halves. The upper
half provides eight freely
configurable control inputs.
A DCF77 receiver can addi-
tionally be connected. The
lower half provides six freely
configurable control outputs
and a ready contact. Slave clocks can additionally be con-
nected.
Two 12-pin Phoenix-type connectors are supplied with the
DPM 8016 for the connection of external components. The
configuration of the control port is performed in IRIS-Net.
Control Inputs (CONTROL INPUTS 0-10V)
The upper half of the control port provides eight freely pro-
grammable control inputs for voltages between 0 volt and
10 volts. The inputs are numbered 1 to 8. The DPM 8016
offers individual power supply for externally connected
controls, like for example potentiometers or switches. The
voltage is supplied via the 10V REF and the ground connec-
tions of the control port. Please also refer to the following
illustration.
Control Outputs (CONTROL OUTPUTS)
The lower half of the control port provides six freely pro-
grammable control outputs, which are numbered 1 to 6. In
the non-active state (Off) these control outputs are open.
They are connected to ground, when active (On). The pow-
er for the operation of externally connected components is
supplied via the 24/48V/200mA output. Please also refer
to the following illustration.
NOTE: The voltage value present at the 24/48V/
200mA output always matches the supply
voltage that is used by the DPM 8016.
CAUTION: The maximum allowable current at the 24/
48V output is 200 mA.
Ready Contact (READY)
The lower half of the control port provides a floating
changeover contact READY. This changeover contact can
be used to signal the operating state of the DPM 8016 as
well as the occurrence of fault conditions within the
PROMATRIX 8000 system to other devices. The following
table shows the possible states of the READY contact.
The illustration on the rear panel of the DPM 8016 shows
the changeover contact being in the "READY" state. The
fault types for which the changeover contact shall switch
and hence shall signal "not operational" can be configured
in IRIS-Net. When integrating the DPM 8016 in an alarm
system, it is recommended to use the "opener" (closed-cir-
cuit principle); i.e. use of the left and center pin.
Radio Controlled Clock Input (DCF77)
The upper half of the control port provides an input for
connecting a DCF77 receiver. It is recommended to use a
DYNACORD NRS 90193 radio controlled clock signal re-
ceiver. For detailed information about connecting the re-
ceiver to the DPM 8016, please refer to the documentation
accompanying the receiver.
AUDIO INTERFACES
Balanced cables (2 cores + shielding mesh) with XLR-type
connectors are best suited for analog audio connection. Al-
though it is possible to use unbalanced cables for all con-
nections to the analog inputs and outputs of the
DPM 8016, using balanced cabling is always the better al-
ternative. With balanced signal routing, the shielding of the
cable interconnects all metal enclosures and hence com-
pletely prevents the introduction of external interference
(mainly humming noise) to the audio signal path.

PAGING STATIONS INTERFACE (PCA BUS)
The PROMATRIX CAN Audio (PCA) BUS interface of the UI-
1 Universal Input module is used to connect a DPC 8015
paging station to the DPM 8016. This 8-pin RJ-45 connec-
tor offers power supply, control interface (CAN bus), and
audio interface connection. The following illustration
shows the pin-assignment of the PCA BUS socket and of
the corresponding RJ-45 connector.
NOTE: Using twisted pair cables for CAN (4, 5),
AUDIO IN (3, 6) and AUDIO OUT (7, 8) con-
nections is mandatory.
The requirements for the PCA BUS interface (in terms of
cable length, diameter, etc.) are the same as for the RE-
MOTE CAN BUS interface (see page 11).
NOTE: Termination of the PCA BUS in the UI-1 Uni-
versal Input module is configured in IRIS-
Net during system configuration.

4 Network configuration
4.1 Introduction
The DPM 8016 system controller can be connected to a
TCP/IP-network via the Ethernet interface at its rear panel
(see page 9). For further information on the principles of
Ethernet and TCP/IP please see the chapter “Ethernet
principles” on page 17 in the appendix of this document.
An IP address must be unique, it must only be allocated to
one single device (host) in a network. In case a new Ether-
net network is designed for the operation of the
DPM 8016, it is recommended to retain the subnet mask
and network ID which had been set at the factory. If the
DPM 8016 is integrated in an existing Ethernet network,
the network configuration of the DPM 8016 must be adapt-
ed.
The preset IP address of the DPM 8016 can be retained if
and only if
If at least one of these three conditions is not fulfilled, the
preset IP address of the DPM 8016 has to be changed.
Example:
The following illustration shows an example application
with four DPM 8016 in a closed network. These are net-
worked with a PC via a central Ethernet switch. Thus, the
factory preset IP address 192.168.1.100 would exist four
times in the network. Because of this, the preset IP ad-
dress of three DPM 8016 must be replaced with a unique
address.
It is advantageous and strongly recommended to list all de-
vices used in the Ethernet network and IP addresses for
changing the preset IP addresses of the DPMs. An example
of such a list for the example system shown in the above
illustration is given in the following. You will find an empty
form in the appendix. Please enter the description of the
device, an unambiguous description and the IP address
which has to be assigned to the device for every device
used in the network in this list. If the device is displayed in
IRIS-Net, you can also use the description that is used
there.
When the example system is put into operation, the IP ad-
dresses which are given in the overview table, should be
assigned to each device using IRIS-Net.
4.2 Configuration and testing of an

DPM 8016 - 17
5 Appendix
5.1 Ethernet principles
The DPM 8016 system controller can be connected to an
Ethernet network via the Ethernet interface (RJ-45) on the
rear panel. Ethernet is a computer networking technology
for local networks. It is possible to connect two devices
(hosts) directly via a crossed Ethernet cable (crossover ca-
ble) if this is necessary. If more than two devices have to
be connected, they have to be connected via normal Ether-
net cables (straight through cables) and a central node
(hub or switch). For this purpose the central hub or switch
has an extension (port) for every network member. The
Ethernet interface of the DPM 8016 is compatible with the
following Ethernet standards:
IP ADDRESSES
Diverse network protocols can be used for the communi-
cation of the devices connected to the Ethernet network.
The DPM 8016 uses the TCP/IP protocol, thus, it is an IP
network device. IP addresses are used for the logical ad-
dressing of devices in an IP network. The DPM 8016 uses
version IPv4 (Internet protocol version 4) for the address-
ing. Therefore, the length of an IP address is 32 bit (= 4
Byte). 4.3 billion unique addresses are theoretically possi-
bl with this protocol. Normally IPv4 addresses are given in
the dotted decimal notation, i.e. the four bytes are written
as four decimals separated by dots. Thus, the general no-
tation of an IPv4 address is AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD. An exam-
ple of an IP address is 130.009.122.195. Zeros which stand
in the first place can be omitted. That is the reason why the
exemplary address can also be written as: 130.9.122.195.
The following table shows address sequences that should
be used in private networks.
Private IP addresses are especially of interest in networks
which are connected to the Internet. Private IP addresses
are not routed in the Internet. Thus, it is necessary to make
an address conversion with NAT (Network Address Trans-
lation) or PAT (Port Address Translation = NAT and addi-
tional change of the port number) in order to be able to
access the Internet. An benefit of this is that it is possible
to connect several devices via a router with the Internet
even when your Internet provider has only allocated one IP
address. Additionally, the real IP address of the devices
can be hidden from hackers by NAT/PAT (Security through
Obscurity).
SUBNET MASK
For example, a network could e.g. split the 4 Byte (32 bit)
of an IP address in a 3 Byte long network part and in 1 Byte
long host part. The exact partitioning between network
part and host part is given in the form of subnet masks. In
this case, the partitioning of the first 24 bits or the last 8
bits would be made because of the subnet mask
255.255.255.0.
The CIDR notation which is designed to display a subnet
mask is an alternative to the dotted decimal notation. So
called suffixes are used in the CIDR notation. The suffix in-
dicates the number of 1-bits in the subnet mask. Thus, the
subnet mask 255.255.255.0 in dotted decimal notation
would correspond to the suffix /24 as the first 24 places
(in binary description) of an IP address are chosen as net-
work address.
It is possible to impact the maximum number of the devic-
es addressable within a network by choosing the subnet
mask which results in different partitioning of the IP ad-
dress in network part and in host part. For the exact
number it has to be considered that the host part may nei-
ther be completely zero nor completely 1 in the binary de-
scription.
Example:
In case of the above-mentioned example IP address
130.9.122.195 the network part would be 130.9.122.0 by
using the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. So, each device (or
interface) in the considered network uses an address of
the type 130.9.122.DDD. As the values 00000000 and
11111111 are excluded for the host part DDD in binary de-
scription, the corresponding decimal values 1 to 254 for
DDD are allowed. Thus, a maximum of 254 different devic-
es can be addressed in a network and the corresponding
addresses are 130.9.122.1 to 130.9.122.254.
AUTOMATIC/MANUAL ALLOCATION OF IP ADDRESSES
IP addresses can be allocated both automatically and man-
ually to a device in a network. If the address is allocated
automatically via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Pro-
tocol), the operation of a DHCP server in the network is
necessary. This server makes it possible to dynamically al-
locate an IP address and additional configuration parame-
ter to hosts in a network. The use of a DHCP server is
especially useful for networks in which devices are often
connected and removed.
If DHCP is used, certain incidents (e.g. the reboot of a de-
vice) can result in the change of the IP address of this de-
vice. If this device is a DPM 8016 system controller, its
configuration in IRIS-Net has to be modified to reflect the
changed IP address. For that reason it is not advisable to
• 10Base-T (IEEE 802.3i): Four wires (two twisted pairs) of CAT-3 or
CAT-5 cables are used for this connection. The transfer rate is 10
MBit/s and the maximal length of a segment is 100 meters.
• 100Base-TX (IEEE 802.3u): Two twisted wire pairs are used for the
connection (see above). However, in this case, a CAT-5 cable has to
be used. 100Base-TX has a transfer rate of 100 MBit/s and is the
standard Ethernet implementation nowadays.

use DHCP for the dynamic configuration of DPM 8016. In-
stead, of that the network configuration of the DPM 8016
should be done manually.
When a new Ethernet network which will not be connected
to the Internet is established, any network part of the IP
addresses can be defined. By choosing the appropriate
subnet mask it is possible to adapt the number of the ad-
dressable devices to your requirements.
Please contact your network administrator regarding de-
tails on the correct network configurations if one or sever-
al DPM 8016 is/are integrated in an existing Ethernet
network (with or without DHCP server) or if the network is
connected to the Internet.
