Configure PDDEG-S

The PDDEG-S connects the PDZG-E to the rest of the Dynalite system, routing commands and messages as needed.

Refer to the following procedures in Ethernet Gateways:

  1. Create/Import site CA certificate

  2. Upload site certificate to PDDEG-S

  3. Configure PDDEG-S as secure Ethernet to Ethernet translation gateway (see notes below)

Bridge Configuration Wizard Step 1 - Static IP vs. DHCP

The gateway commissioning procedure linked above uses a static IP address for the PDDEG-S, which should be provided by the site’s network administrator to avoid conflicts with other devices.

If the network uses dynamic DHCP addressing, ensure that the PDDEG-S has a permanently reserved IP address on the DHCP server. The PDZG-E needs to know this address, and will lose comms if it changes.
Bridge Configuration Wizard Step 2

The following checkboxes can be selected if required before proceeding:

  • sb icon checkbox tick Enable WebSocket / Cloud Connection / BACnet
    Adds additional ports and routing for the PDDEG-S to support these features.

  • sb icon checkbox tick Enable RS-485 Spur for Hybrid / Dynalite
    This is only required if the PDDEG-S is also connected to an RS-485 DyNet bus on sb icon port comm Comm Port 1.
    Adds routing for messages between serial DyNet devices and all sb icon port ipv4 TCP ports.
