Dimmer firmware requirements
The dimmers need to be fitted with firmware 3.00 or later. The EPROM file can be downloaded
from the ADB website. The firmware version is displayed during the power-up of the dimmer unit.
Older dimmer firmware and "MODBUS error" or "ADN error" messages
Please first check the firmware version of your dimmer unit. It is displayed during the power-up
sequence of the dimmer.
The ADN part of the current firmware (version 3.00 and later) is not compatible with the ADN
part of earlier firmware versions. Mixing old and new units on the same ADN network causes a
"MODBUS error" or "ADN error" message.
Solution: we recommend that you upgrade the firmware in the dimmers. You will thus benefit of all
the improvements in the general functions. The EPROM file is downloadable from the ADB website.
A workaround is to temporarily only include recent dimmers in the ADN link.
For "ADN error" message on a recent unit (firmware 3.00 and later): please refer to the dimmer’s
manual "Programming Digital Dimmers and NETBUS".
Hardware requirements for the PC
The minimum requirements for the PC and for an OnLine installation are:
• a PC, Pentium II or higher, 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet card, CD reader,Win95/98/ME/NT/XP
operating system; 1024 x 768 monitor; a mouse and keyboard
• one NETPORT XT
• a hub/switch 10/100 Mbit/s
• standard Ethernet cables
Note: you can probably work without a hub/switch, and use a cross-link Ethernet cable
between the PC and the NETPORT XT. It is our experience that this usually works - but
we cannot guarantee it. Our tests have shown that success depends on the operation
of the Ethernet hardware in your PC, as well as on the Operating System in your PC.
Ethernet cable - maximum 100 m
REMINDER ! The maximum cable length (except for fiber optic cable) is 100 m between nodes:
• max. 100 m between PC and hub/switch
• max. 100 m between NETPORT XT and hub/switch
• max. 100 m between PC and NETPORT XT (cross-link)
The cable length includes the drop cable (from the PC or the NETPORT XT to the wall), the in-the-
wall cable (max. 90 m), and the patch cable between the wall socket and the hub.
WARNING! stick to the rules!
This limit is a timing issue. The longer the cable, the longer the signal needs to travel from end
to end, and back; respecting the maximum cable length is necessary for proper operation of the
Collision Prevention scheme.
For more information, and rules about the lay-out of an Ethernet network, please refer to dedicated
books or articles.
Display settings for the PC
Dimmer Manager is optimised for a display setting of 1024 x 768. When set to a lower setting,
the lower part of the window (including some buttons) may not be visible.
