Installing Gateways
In multi-story buildings, each floor typically contains an independent network segment called a spur. Spurs can
be joined via network gateways to a trunk network (RS-485 or Ethernet) installed in a riser linking all floors
together. The trunk typically connects to the System Manager head-end software or to a BMS enabling full
access to the entire system.
B All circuits and cables connected to gateways must be SELV/Class 2 (UL).

1. For RS-485 networks, terminate both trunk and spur connections to gateway.
a. Spur (Floor sub-network) is terminated to Port 1.
b. Trunk (Building backbone) is terminated to Port 2.
2. An RS-485 gateway is powered from the DyNet network spur connected to
Port 1. Up to 150mA of power from the DyNet network on Port 1 is fed to Port
2, so providing there is sufficient power available on the spur, it is not
necessary to provide a network power supply for the trunk network.
3. When implementing repeaters for long runs, connect the link to Port 2 of
both bridges. Shielded cable must be used for long runs (refer to
Recommended cable types). Provide additional DyNet power supplies where
required and ensure end-of-line resistors are in place.
4. DDNG485 bridges are required when there are more than
100 devices on a run, or the current may exceed the cable limit.
5. DDNG485 Port 2 is used for DMX Receive/Transmit or for third-party integration.
