Model 6822 2-Port Gateway Manual
11/06/20
The Pathport® 6822 2-Port Gateway provides the full
functionality of other Pathport gateways in a compact, DIN-
rail mountable form factor.
System integrators can now easily put fully customized
universes of DMX where they’re needed.
Ideal for use in NEMA enclosures. Fully compatible with
eDIN interfaces.
The Pathport 6822 features terminal strips that can be removed
from the card to facilitate easy wiring installation or replacement.
Make the following connections, WITH THE POWER TURNED
OFF.
POWER
The 6822 is designed to run on either Power-over-Ethernet (PoE),
or on an auxiliary power supply providing between 18 and 48 volts
DC. The gateway is Class 1 PoE and will draw up to 4 Watts.
If an auxiliary supply is used, observe the correct polarity when
connecting V+ and V-. A second set of terminals are provided so
power may be daisy-chained to other cards. The earth ground
terminal must be connected to the enclosure’s chassis or electrical
ground terminal to ensure EMC compliance.
DMX512
DMX connections consist of a shield and data pair. Connect DATA+
and DATA- to D1+ and D1-. Observe the same polarity convention
throughout the system. Connect the cable shield or common to the
SHLD COM terminal.
NETWORK
All network wiring should follow standard Ethernet rules and be
installed by a qualied person. As part of the installation, all wiring
should be certied under the TIA/EIA-568 standard.

INSTALLATION
• Disconnect all power before proceeding with installation.
• Securely mount DIN rail (if not already installed in an enclosure).
To mount the 6822, hook the upper slots on the back of the plastic
extrusion to the DIN rail and then gently but rmly press on the
bottom front corners of the extrusion to snap the module onto the
rail. DO NOT press directly on the PCB card itself.
• If the 6822 is using an auxiliary power supply, connect the power
IN terminal block, after checking that polarity is being observed.
The earth ground terminal must be connected to the enclosure’s
chassis or electrical ground terminal to ensure EMC compliance.
Restore power and the card will boot up.
• Attach the network cable to the RJ45 connector. Because good
wiring practice requires building wire to terminate with a female
connector, typically a short (12”/30cm) male-to-male jumper is
used. If PoE is being used, the card will boot up. Both auxiliary
power and PoE may be connected simultaneously without
damaging the 6822.
• The system is now ready for testing.
• To remove the 6822 from the DIN rail, use a athead screwdriver
to gently pry the hooked foot on the end caps of the device away
from the DIN rail. The corner of the device should life free; repeat
at the other side and unhook the device from the rail.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
COMPLIANCE
A large number of parameters may be customized for the 6822,
including: port direction, output channel patch, input universe
number, transmit and receive protocols and DMX speed.
Network properties such as IP address and subnet mask are also
customizable by the user.
Detailed gateway configuration and overall network system
management are done using Pathscape software, which is available
for download from www.PathwayConnect.com
Please refer to the Pathscape manual for information on
conguring these additional properties.
PATHSCAPE CONFIGURATION
The 6822 ships as a DMX output gateway with Pathway ssACN
enabled.
The following Ethernet receive protocols are unsecured and are
NOT ENABLED by default: Pathport, Strand Shownet, ETC Net2,
E1.31 streaming ACN and Art-Net.
Before conguring and using the 6822, you must add it to a
Security Domain using Pathscape.
To use the other listed unsecured protocols, you must
use Pathscape and enable the device property ALLOW
UNSECURED RX (see below).
DEFAULT SETTINGS
Due to new cybersecurity laws, all Pathport devices shipped after
January 1, 2020 have security properties enabled. This means
that by default, the device is not set up to receive unsecured
network protocols such as Art-Net, E1.31 sACN, ShowNet, NET2
or Pathport Protocol.
You must add the Pathport to a Security Domain using
Pathscape before conguration and use.
Pathway ssACN (Secure sACN) is enabled by default.
To use the above unsecured protocols, open Pathscape. In
the Pathport base device properties, under the Network DMX
Receive Protocols section, click the Allow Unsecured RX
checkbox.
Once checked, you may select the network protocol(s) to receive.
For further information, please see the following sections in the
Pathscape manual: Security, Pathport Properties > Network
DMX Receive Protocols .
