1. INTRODUCTION
The OPTIMUS DVA-102ETH unit is an Ethernet-
controlled player of digital messages in WAV or OGG
format.
The digital messages are stored on a 2 GB Compact
Flash memory card, which is supplied together with the
DVA-102ETH.
It occupies one unit of height in 19” Rack cabinets.
As an element of the OPTIMAX Public Address and Voice
Alarm system, the following functions are supported:
Playing of the messages pre-recorded on the
Compact Flash card through the Ethernet link
towards the OPTIMAX digital power units.
Recording of messages on the Compact Flash card
from the following sources:
-Local microphone input
-Ethernet link
Activation of messages and selection of zones to
which these are to be directed by means of:
-P.A. Manager Software, by means of Ethernet
commands
-Activation of local contacts
Reception of system alarms via IP and display of
these on the front LCD screen.
Another functionality of the DVA-102ETH is that it
works autonomously, as a source of messages towards
analog power units or as a link between an installation
in an OPTIMAX network and conventional PA systems
with analog power units. In the latter case, it supports:
Reception of audio via IP and transmission of this
through the analog audio output.
Playing of pre-recorded messages from the Compact
Flash card and transmission of these through the
analog audio output.
Recording of messages on the Compact card from
the following sources:
-Local microphone input
-Ethernet link
Activation of messages and selection of zones to
which these are to be directed by means of:
-P.A. Manager Software, by means of Ethernet
commands
-Activation of local contacts
Translation of the zone selection commands received
via IP into RS485 commands (by polling in
installations with UDCE-01 zones and by CSMA in
installations with UMX-02/0 zones).
In installations with UMX-02/0 zones, reception of
the system alarms via RS485 CSMA and display of
these on the front LCD screen.
Therefore, this unit adds more power to the
management of pre-recorded messages in PA systems,
and it perfectly complements the capacities of the
OPTIMAX digital system, designed for PA and Voice
Evacuation systems according to the European standard
UNE-EN 60849.

ATTENTION:
When the unit starts to run, the dipswitches IP address is
automatically saved in the DVA-102ETH flash memory. To
change the address, it is necessary to delete first the IP
address which is saved in the flash memory.
5. CONFIGURATION OF THE IP ADDRESS OF THE UNIT
On the back of the unit there are some DIP switches by means of which the IP address can be configured manually.
This address identifies the unit in the network, so each unit must have a unique IP address.
An IP address is represented by means of a 32-bit binary number. The IP addresses are expressed as decimal notation
numbers: the 32 bits of the address are divided into four octets (an octet is a group of 8 bits). Each octet is
represented by A0 to A7 for the first octet, B0 to B7 for the second octet, C0 to C7 for the third octet and D0 to D7 for
the fourth octet.
Each bit can have the value 0 (DIP switch OFF) or 1 (DIP switch ON). In order to obtain the decimal value of the octet,
the decimal values of each bit that is in the ON position must be added up (from the top down: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64
and 128).
5.1. UNIT IP ADDRESS CONFIGURATION BY MEANS OF DIPSWITCHES
1. Switch off the unit.
2. Set the required address in the IP Config dipswitches. Table
II on the next page shows all the DIP switch combinations
from 0 to 255.
3. Switch on the unit.
Figure 3 shows an example in which the IP address
192.168.100.128 is configured.
5.2. DELETE THE IP ADDRESS BY MEANS OF DIPSWITCHES
1. Switch off the unit.
2. Set the 0,0,0,0 address in the IP Config dispswitches.
3. Switch on the unit and after 15 seconds, switch it off. The IP address saved in the flash memory has been deleted.
NB: The IP address can also be set by software. To do so, refer to section 5.3.

7.5. INPUT CONTACTS
CONNECTION
The unit has 19 input contacts, which can be
configured by means of the P.A. Manager
software.
To activate a contact, this contact must be
grounded.
These inputs are used for:
Local pre-recorded message activation:
When the input contact is activated, a pre-
recorded message is sent from the DVA-
102ETH to one or several zones.
Zone selection: When the input contact is
activated, a destination zone is pre-
selected. When the priority of the AUDIO
INPUT is activated, the signal applied to the
AUDIO INPUT will be sent to this zone.
7.6. OUTPUT CONTACTS CONNECTION
The unit has 19 output contacts, which can be configured by means of the P.A.
Manager software.
They are open collector outputs, as shown in the diagram in Figure 11. These
outputs can be used, for example, to activate analog zones, to select zones of an
MC12/24L, to activate the priority of external devices, to light a LED…

7.7. RS485 BUS CONNECTION
One of the DVA-102ETH functions is that it can act as a link between an installation in an OPTIMAX network and
analog PA systems with UMX-02/0 or UDCE-01 zones and analog power units.
For this purpose, the DVA-102ETH must communicate with the various elements of the analog system (UMX-02/0,
MD-500, MD-500EM, UDCE-01…) through an RS485 bus.
This communication allows to:
Translate the zone selection commands received via Ethernet into RS485 commands (by Polling in installations
with UDCE-01 zones and by CSMA in installations with UMX-02 zones).
Receive system alarms via RS485, display them on the front LCD screen and communicate them to other units
with an ETHERNET connection (DC-600ETH, FC-600ETH…).
RJ45 connectors with a metal housing are used for the RS485 connection.
If the unit is positioned as the first or last element of the RS485 bus, the RS485 OUT switch must be moved to the OFF
position. Otherwise, the RS485 output must be enabled by moving the switch to the ON position.
Use category 5 FTP cable to connect different units to each other on the same RS485 bus.

In installations that require it. Consult the network
administrator of the installation.
MULTICAST DATA (also see pages 17 and 18)
(8) IP Multicast
Default setting 239.5.5.5. Do not modify this field
unless the installation topology makes it necessary. All
the units with an IP connection in the installation must
have the same IP multicast address.
(9) Multicast Port
Default setting 5000. Do not modify this field unless the
installation topology makes it necessary. All the units
with an IP connection in the installation must have the
same multicast port.
(10) Send “Heart beat”every n seconds.
Frequency with which the unit sends a heart beat signal
to the multicast group. This signal informs the other
units with an Ethernet connection in the installation
that the DVA-102ETH is operating perfectly.
(11) Local Manager and (12) Global Manager
Only on Optimax systems. Defines whether the
DVA-102ETH is to function as a priority manager of the
Optimax system, either locally at PA Area level or
globally for the installation, and establishes the priority
of this management with respect to other equipment
units (1 = maximum priority). It is not advisable to
activate this management on the DVA-102ETH (see
Notes on Local and Global Co-ordinators on page 19).
(13) RS485 Gateway
Enable this function in installations in which the DVA-
102ETH is connected to another equipment unit by
means of the RS485 bus.
If there is more than one DVA-102ETH connected to the
RS485 bus, only one of them will have the RS485 Gateway
function activated.
(14) Associated Audio Input
Used on DVA-102ETH units whose AUDIO OUT output is
connected to an UMX-02/0 input card. Open the drop-
down menu and select this input. Beforehand, it is
necessary to configure the UMX-2E cards of the
UMX-02/0.
(15) Emergency source
Defines the priority level of the EMERGENCY INPUT of
the DVA-102ETH with respect to the other audio signals
in the installation.
When the DVA-102ETH is added to the installation, the
Emergency DVA sound source is automatically created,
and this source is associated with the EMERGENCY Mode;
in this way, the priority of this input with respect to the
other signals in the installation is established.
This default configuration can be modified through the
menu Optimax > Modes and Sound Sources.
(16) Priority source
Defines the priority level of the AUDIO INPUT of the
DVA-102ETH with respect to the other audio signals in
the installation, when this input receives a priority
signal (when the priority contact of the AUDIO INPUT is
activated).
When the DVA-102ETH is added to the installation, the
Priority DVA sound source is automatically created, and
this source is associated with the PRIORITY Mode;in this
way, the priority of this input with respect to the other
signals in the installation is established.
This default configuration can be modified through the
menu Optimax > Modes and Sound Sources.
(17) Program source
Defines the priority level of the AUDIO INPUT of the
DVA-102ETH with respect to the other audio signals in
the installation, when this input receives a program
signal (when the priority contact of the AUDIO INPUT is
not activated).
When the DVA-102ETH is added to the installation, the
Music DVA sound source is automatically created, and
this source is associated with the Music Mode;in this
way, the priority of this input with respect to the other
signals in the installation is established.
This default configuration can be modified through the
menu Optimax > Modes and Sound Sources.

b) Notes on Local and Global Co-ordinators
The system requires management of the digital audio channels at all times, so that the data may circulate freely across the network.
This function is performed by two applications: one at a local level, known as LCC, which manages the digital channels at PA Area
level, and another, known as GCC, which manages the digital channels at a global level (between different PA areas and/or servers).
Each PA Area needs at least one LCC process on one of its equipment units.
If there is more than one PA Area in an installation, and announcements have to made or music programs have to be sent between
PA Areas, a minimum of one GCC process is required on an equipment unit in the installation.
If the number of equipment units so permits, it is advisable to have each process available on at least two equipment units. In this
way, the applications continue to work even when a fault in one of the equipment units occurs.
There are specific equipment to run these applications: CC-100ETH, UMX-CC and UMX-ETH (Control). It is recommended that they
are the ones who made the role of coordinator. If these equipment are not present in the installation, it is advisable that the COU-
02/0ETH, performs the functions of co-ordinator.
The recommended order of priority depending on the model is as follows:
CC-100ETH
UMX-CC
UMX-ETH
(Control)
COU-02/0ETH
SU-114N
SU-214/0N
