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 firmly 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 flathead 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
configuring 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 configuring 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 configuration 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.
