Before you start, you need to make the decision as to whether you will be using static IP addresses or dynamically assigned addresses using a DHCP server. The preferred method is dynamic, however, if you use dynamic addresses, you require a DHCP and DNS server active on the network otherwise you will not be able to discover the room controller and connect to it. The DNS server must have the feature whereby it can serve up IP addresses for DHCP client devcies. This is a common feature available in most routers. To connect your DRC Room controller to the buildings Wi-Fi network, in brief, execute the following steps: Connect to the room controller using the GreenMAX DRC App, with "Service Tech" permissions Go to the Settings Page...

In this post we will discuss how to setup and configure a Uniquity UniFi network for the purpose of facilitating communication between Leviton products. The high level steps are outlined below with additional details that can be found in the attached video. Pre-requisites: Download UniFi app to you phone Create an account if necessary and log into the app Identify the location of the "Gateway" which will either be the Unifi "Dream Machine Pro" or "USG". If the Dream Machine Pro was provided, it will be installed in an equipment room. Confirm the gateway is powered up, and, any access points are connected and powered up. Confirm cables between the gateway and any switches are installed and connected, everything at this point should...

The Alfred tool can be used to ensure that you have a big enough power supply to power your network....without running into trouble. To use the tool: Add up the total current draw of your system at your power supply voltage Identify your actual run length Using the attached chart, find the row corresponding to your current draw and the column corresponding to your run length - the "intersection" The cell in the intersection is the minimum size power supply you need to have to ensure a reliable network. If you do not have a large enough power supply, add power to the network! Leviton can you select the best option from those that we have available . Please reach out to your local representative for help with this process. For...

The above three terms are often inappropriately used interchangably and oft distinctly. What are they? How are they the same...and different? What is the correct terminology? These are the questions we'll address in this article. Device Represents an enrolled device in a DRC Room Controller. At time of this writing, DRC Wired Room Controllers support up to 100 devices and Wireless up to 60. The following all count as a single device: Smart Pack/Relay, ex: DRD07-ED0 Single channel in a multi-channel phase cut dimmer (DRDDP-A40/A20) Digital Sensor - Occupancy / Photocell Keypad Single channel in 2 channel AI (DRID0-C02) Single DALI Device enrolled by LumaCAN Channel (DRCDD) DALI Device color control, enrolled by LumaCAN Channel...

Overview Leviton takes the security of your lighting control and network systems seriously. Providing a cohesive, complete, and integrated end-to-end control solution allowing intended, safe communication while rejecting malicious communication has been built into each physical and software layer of the GreenMAX DRC Room Control System. The goal of this White Paper is to review each of these layers, the types of communication that occurs, and the steps we’ve taken to secure our system. Physical Layers and General Network Architecture Leviton’s commercial lighting control network systems are broken into several different physical layers, each of which have different security concerns and approaches to network functionality and security...

The GreenMAX DRC System supports automatic configuration of systems such that when some basic conditions are met, the system will setup and automatically configure itself! This means that once the system is powered up and connected your system will work out of the box with no commissioning required. Of course you're welcome and encouraged to tweak configuration based on your unique needs but the intent of automatic configuration is to get you operational with the least amount of interaction possible. It can take up to 15 minutes for both automatic addressing and configuration to complete so after power-up, let it simmer a bit before testing operation. How is my system configured? All switches have functionality as per their...
