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.

3 A fuse.
(2) Power supply input
To power the DVA-102ETH, connect a power supply of
24 V DC / 2 A to this input.
(3) Input contacts 1 to 19
(4) Output contacts 1 to 19
(5) RX and TX indicators
Their blinking indicates transmission (TX) or reception
(RX) of data through the RS485 port.
(6) RS485 IN connector
RJ45 type connector. This is used to connect the
DVA-102ETH to the RS485 communication bus.
(7) RS485 OUT connector
RJ45 connector. Used to give continuity to the RS485
bus. If this output is used, the RS485 ON/OFF switch
(8) must be moved to the ON position.
(8) RS485 OUT ON/OFF switch
In the ON position, the RS485 output is activated.
(9) Ground to chassis connection
(10) RS485 ADDRESS DIP switch
In mixed or analog installations, the DVA-102ETH
communicates with the various elements of the
SMP-250 system (SU-114N, UMX-02/0, MD-500,
MD500EM...) through an RS485 bus. By means of this
DIP switch a communication address can be assigned to
the unit, inside the RS485 bus. Each unit connected to
an RS485 bus must have a different address. To
configure it, refer to section 4.
(11) AUDIO OUTPUT connector
Balanced analog output of 0 dBm, through the RJ45
connector. To connect it, refer to section 7.4.
(12) AUDIO INPUT connector
Balanced analog input of 0 dBm, through the RJ45
connector. To connect it, refer to section 7.2.
(13) AUDIO EMERGENCY INPUT connector
Analog local input, balanced, with an RJ45 connector
and a sensitivity of 0 dBm, especially suitable for
receiving emergency announcements.
It takes priority over any other signal (ETH inputs,
AUDIO INPUT and pre-recorded messages). To connect
it, refer to section 7.3.
(14) FAIL relay
This is activated when the unit is switched off, when a
failure in the Ethernet connection is detected or an
internal communication error occurs.
(15) IP ADDRESS DIP switches
The IP address of the unit is configured through these 4
DIP switches. This address identifies the DVA-102ETH
in the network, so each unit must have a unique
address.
(16) Ethernet B connector
RJ45 type connector. Used, in a redundant network, as
a secondary connection to the IP network. In
installations with a redundant network, if the
connection to ETH A fails, the unit automatically
switches to this B connection, so that the PA system
continues to operate.
(17) Ethernet B input 10 Mb indicator
Indicates the speed of the Ethernet network connected
to the Ethernet B input. If the LED is lit, it indicates a
speed of 10 Mb. If it is not lit, it indicates a network
speed of 100 Mb.

4. CONFIGURATION OF THE RS485 ADDRESS
On an RS485 BUS, each unit must
have a different address. Table I shows
the configuration of the RS485
ADDRESS DIP switches and their
possible values.

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.
