4. INTRODUCTION
PAGENETDN is a programmable Paging Station with dual audio output: Dante™
(digital) and analogue (balanced). This way, its control features and its microphone
signal can be used for paging together with any EclerNet digital matrix, no matter
whether it supports Dante or not: MIO4040DN, MIMO88, MIMO88SG and MIMO1212SG.
At the same time it shares the same control features as the WPNETTOUCH, and can be
programmed to control one or more networked EclerNet devices; it can even control a full
installation, a project combining a multitude of different EclerNet devices: MIMO4040DN,
MIMO88, MIMO88SG, MIMO1212SG digital matrices, NXA series digital audio managers,
DUO-NET PLAYER units, etc. It is fully programmable through the EclerNet Manager
application (*).
(*) Refer to the EclerNet Manager Application manual for more information. The
EclerNet Manager application is available for download at www.ecler.com.
It comes with a desktop console design, including a gooseneck microphone and a 10”
capacitive touch screen panel that can show and manage the User Control Panels for
paging and for the control of networked EclerNet devices, VEO video devices and third-
party devices.

Audio transport using Dante™, 2 channels:
oDante™channel #1 used for microphone signal transmission
oDante™channel #2 used for AUX input signal transmission
Phantom Power available for the MIC input
MIC out, analogue balanced signal, that makes the PAGENETDN unit compatible
for paging in combination with devices that don’t support Dante™in a native
way, as the MIMO88, MIMO88SG and MIMO1212SG
AUX input, stereo LINE, RCA connectors. The incoming signal is converted to
mono and sent to the network using Dante™channel #2. It can be used to
connect an external audio source (like a media player) and inject its signal to the
network in Dante™format
Paging features based on programmable UCP control panels
EclerNet control device, with the ability to execute EclerNet projects on its
internal engine, acting as a server and / or client of UCP panels

5. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
5.1. Installation and wiring
Before programming and using it, the PAGENETDN unit must be connected to the
network, by means of its internal RJ45 ETHERNET interface. This one, and the rest of
connectors, are available unscrewing the bottom metal plate of the unit (3 screws must
be removed).
PAGENET internal view, after removing the bottom metal plate
It must as well be supplied with DC Power, directly with PoE (Power over Ethernet),
when it is available from the Ethernet switch the unit is connected to, or by means of the
included external Power Supply, 12 VDC, 2A (EXTERNAL PSU CONNECTOR).
Additionally, there are 2 extra audio connectors available:
AUX IN (L / R): stereo LINE input, RCA connectors. The incoming signal is
converted to mono and sent to the network using Dante™channel #2. This input
can be used to connect an external audio source (like a media player) and inject
it’s signal to the network in Dante™format
MIC OUT (ANALOGUE AUDIO OUT): mono balanced signal (Euroblock). It’s a
copy of the microphone signal in analogue format, that enables to create paging
systems in combination with devices without Dante™native support.

8
5.2. Audio Settings
PAGENETDN has several audio controls in its electronics that can be used to tailor the
incoming analogue audio signals:
PHANTOM POWER ON / OFF (default = ON): it enables or disables the Phantom
Power delivered to the microphone XLR connector, in case a condenser
microphone is used, like the unit that comes by default with the PAGENETDN
device (Ecler eMCN1 model)
HPF (High Pass Filter) ON /OFF (default = ON): it enables or disables the High
Pass Filter (100Hz @ 12dB/oct) applied to the audio signal captured from the
microphone capsule, to minimize low frequency and unwanted noise entering
into the voice messages path along the audio system
MIC IN GAIN (*): preamp gain adjustment for the incoming microphone signal. It
affects both the resulting Dante ch #1 output and the ANALOGUE AUDIO (MIC)
OUT signal
AUX IN GAIN (LINE GAIN): preamp gain adjustment for the incoming AUX IN ST
LINE signal, later converted to mono and to Dante ch #2
(*) Note: the microphone XLR connector admits standard XLR microphones to
be used, like the Ecler eMCN1 supplied with the unit, but it can’t hold those with
the base thicker than the standard XLR size:

6. OPERATION
PAGENET must be properly included in an EclerNet project, and configured (regarding
Dante™audio routing and / or control features) to finally show the UCP paging and control
panels that the end user will have available. Examples:

10
Please, refer to EclerNet Manager application user manual, chapter PAGENETDN
DEVICE, for further information.

11
7. LOCAL CONFIGURATION OF THE UNIT
PAGENETDN settings and configuration menus can be accessed locally from the touch
screen of the device itself. These menus are exactly the same as the ones available for
the WPNETTOUCH device, as it really includes a WPNETTOUCH unit in it.
The same settings are remotely accessible when the unit is under the control of a
remote computer running the EclerNet Manager application.
Local access to the configuration menus can be done by clicking on the SETUP icon,
from the home page of the unit:
The available configuration menus are the following:

12
7.1. Screen Configuration menu
This menu allows setting different parameters affecting the displayed items and
controls on the screen of the unit:
Display mode: behavior of the screen dimming in sleep state, after 10 seconds
of user inactivity on the touch screen. The available modes are: ON (always lit),
DIMMED and OFF (unlit)
Backlight Intensity: brightness intensity of the screen when it is not in sleep
mode.
Auto-Zoom Panels: when activated, the graphic control panels (UCPs) are
automatically resized to match the maximum visible area, no matter the original
resolution they were created in the EclerNet Manager project file

13
Show Panel OSD Buttons: enables/disables the superimposed display of the
navigation buttons in the corners of the displayed UCPs. The top corner buttons
can scroll the panel pages (left and right) and the bottom corner buttons access
the icon bar:
Note: even when the buttons are not displayed, they can still be active, so that
pressing the top corners activates the horizontal scrolling between the panel
pages and pressing the bottom corners displays the icon bar. This is an aspect
that must be taken into account for the layout of the controls (buttons, sliders,
knobs, etc.) on each UCP page during its design; the corners must be as free as
possible if these OSD buttons will be used for scrolling between pages (top
ones) and always free in the case of the bottom ones (icon bar display).
Scroll by OSD Buttons: enables/disables the scroll action between pages
pressing the top corners, even the OSD buttons are hidden
Scroll by Swipe: enables/disables the scroll action between pages with a left or
right swipe (press & drag) action on the screen
The icon bar displays new accesses to the horizontal scrolling between the pages of a
panel (to the left and right), access to the home page of the unit ("HOME" icon) and exit
of the icon bar ("X" icon):

14
7.2. Device Configuration menu
This menu allows adjusting the following parameters of the unit:
Device Name: name of the device, as seen from other WPNETTOUCH /
WPmSCREEN devices, as well as from the EclerNet Manager application
Device Password: password for the protection of the device against the editing
of its critical configuration parameters, requested for this purpose if enabled
(enabled = other than blank password)
Enable UCP Server: enables/disables the embedded UCP server service of the
unit
oEnabled: the EclerNet project stored in the unit (“Local Project”) will be
fully functional, taking control of the hardware devices that are included
in it (MIMO4040DN, MIMO88, NXA units, etc.) and serving the UCP
panels it contains to potential UCP clients on the network
oDisabled: the EclerNet Local Project is deactivated, releasing the control
over all included hardware (MIMO4040DN, MIMO88, NXA units, etc. )
and, consequently, also ceasing to serve UCPs for clients
Warning: In the disabled status, another device or computer running a
project containing all or some of the hardware devices existing in the
WPNETTOUCH's Local Project could take control of them. Just one
device and project can take control of the same hardware device at the
same time, so that units controlled by a device must first be released
before trying to control them from another device:

15
From EclerNet Manager, you can release the devices controlled by
the computer through the creation of a new project (File -> New
Project), or by disconnecting them from the network one by one
(right mouse button -> Disconnect)
From a WPNETTOUCH / WPmSCREEN, you can release the
devices controlled by the unit by setting the Enable UCP Server
option on NO.
7.3. Network Configuration menu
This menu allows modifying the network connection parameters of the WPNETTOUCH
unit: IP address, network mask and gateway.
Note: neither the WPNETTOUCH nor any other EclerNet device supports the protocol
of dynamic allocation of IP addresses (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, or DHCP),
so it's always necessary to manually assign them static addresses

16
7.4. Information / Tools menu
This menu displays the following information:
Server IP Address: IP address of the UCP server device that the unit is
connected to, as a UCP client. When the unit is connected to itself as a client, it
will show its own IP address (= Local IP Address)
Server Project: name of the project running in the server the unit is connected to
as a UCP client (project running on the UCP server of the client)
Local IP Address: IP Address configured for the WPNETTOUCH unit
Local Project: name of the project stored in the internal storage space of the
WPNETTOUCH unit. This project can be uploaded to the WPNETTOUCH unit
using EclerNet Manager software app
Available Storage: internal storage space available to upload a project file, which
would include User Control Panels data and graphics
Ethernet Address: MAC address of the NIC (network interface card) mounted in
the WPNETTOUCH unit
Display resolution: native screen resolution of the IPS panel of the unit (1280 x
800)
Firmware version: shown at the lower right hand side corner (in the above
example v0.04r11)

17
And the following restore / reboot options:
Project Defaults: clears the project in memory, replacing it with a blank project,
after warning that the process is irreversible:
Factory Defaults: clears the entire configuration and all data in the unit, restoring
the factory default settings, after warning that the process is irreversible:
Reboot: reboots the unit:

18
8. CONNECTION TO A UCP SERVER
From the home screen of the unit, the connection icon on the upper side of the screen
will give access to the Connection page:
This page allows deciding the UCP server the unit will connect to as a client. The UCP
server may be a computer, a MIMO4040DN matrix (yes, it has an embedded UCP server
in its engine!) another WPNETTOUCH / WPmSCREEN unit or even the same
PAGENETDN / WPNETTOUCH unit. In any case, the UCP server shall host and run an
EclerNet Manager project that includes a series of UCPs which can be remotely
managed by any UCP client.

19
It is possible to directly enter the IP address of the server device, using the touch
keyboard displayed on the screen, or to select a device from a list of automatically
detected server devices, which is accessed by clicking on the grey button with the list
icon to the right of the "Connect" button:
Note: in the list of detected server devices, the name of the WPNETTOUCH unit under
control will appear in green (the one matching with the Local IP Address)
After selecting a server unit or an IP address, using either of these two methods,
pressing the "Connect" button will confirm the selection and start the process of
connecting to the server. If this process is successful, the UCPs that the server makes
available for the WPNETTOUCH client will appear on the screen:
