If the reset button is hold down for more than three seconds, the DTE-3114 will enter failsafe mode, 

see section 2.6. 

2.4 Thermal considerations 

The  DTE-3114  is  designed  to  operate  with  cooling  by  natural  convection,  without  active  cooling 

facilities. However, the following considerations have to be taken into account: 

 

The unit must always be mounted vertically to allow bottom-to-top airflow. 

 

The units must be installed in such a  way that airflow is not obstructed. In no case the vent 

holes should be covered when the DTE-3114 is enabled. 

 

If multiple units are mounted next to each other on a rail, the units should be spaced at least 

0.5cm apart. 

 

The ambient temperature should be lower than 35˚C / 95˚F. If this condition cannot be met, 

forced air cooling should be applied with a vertical-flow fan unit mounted below the units. 

A  thermal  shutdown  mechanism  is  in  place  to  avoid  overheating  of  the  unit.  If  the  internal 

temperature  of  the  DTE-3114  rises  above  85˚C  /  185˚F,  the  RF  output  of  the  device  will  be 

disabled. 

2.5 IP address assignment 

Within  a  network  each  connected  device  needs  to  have  a  unique  IP  address  to  enable  reliable 

communication between the devices. If multiple devices would have the same IP address, conflicts 

may  occur  and  communication  becomes  unreliable.  The  IP  addresses  in  a  network  can  be 

configured by the user with fixed unicast IP addresses or via a DHCP server on the network. 
Upon applying power, the DTE-3114 will try to connect to a DHCP server to obtain an IP address, 

unless a static IP address has been configured. In the latter case, the DTE-3114 will start with the 

configured static IP address. 
If no static IP address has been configured and no DHCP server is running (or if the DHCP server 

cannot  be  reached)  the  DTE-3114  will  automatically  assign  itself  an  address  in  the  range  from 

169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255 (Link-local address, RFC 3927) with subnet 255.255.0.0. 
The selected IP address is shown at the bottom of the illuminated LCD display on the DTE-3114. The 

IP address is interchanged with the MAC address every few seconds. 
Note:  The  MAC  address  can  also  be  found  on  the  label  attached  to  the  DTE-3114,  above  the 

network connector. 
A web browser on the same subnet can now be used to connect to the unit, by using the IP address 

as URL, e.g. http://192.168.1.10/. For easy access to a specific DTE-3114, the IP address can be 

added to the list of browser favorites and given a name. 
When you have access to the web pages of the DTE-3114 web interface, you can – if you want to do 

so – assign a static IP address and subnet mask via the Network settings tab. The default gateway 

can be specified, too, but this is not required.
