INSTALLATION

5.1. Location, assembly, ventilation
MIMO SG series has been especially designed to be installed in a standard 19″ rack, taking up 1U.
It is very important not to enclose the MIMO SG or expose it to extreme temperatures as it generates heat. It’s also necessary to promote the passage of fresh air through the ventilation holes of the chassis, leaving at least one rack unit off between each device and installed above and below it in the rack frame.
If the setup has several amplifiers in the same rack or in a closed cabinet with doors, it is highly recommended to supply them forced ventilation, installing fans at the upper and lower ends. This upward air flow will help to dissipate the heat generated inside.
5.2. Connection to an AC outlet and switching on
All models in the MIMO SG series operate under voltages between 90 and 264 V at 47 to 63 Hz. This device features an over dimensioned power supply that adapts to the mains voltage in any country of the world with no need to make any adjustments.
On the rear panel, there is a power switch for the unit next to the IEC power connector.
On the front panel, a LED lights up when the unit is switched on.
The mains cables must not be near the shielded cables carrying the audio signal, as this could cause humming.
5.3. Signal input connections
The rear panel of a MIMO SG unit offers 8 (MIMO88SG) or 12 (MIMO1212SG) balanced analogue signal inputs, “IN”, accepting both line and microphone level signals. Input signal type selection and management are carried out from EclerNet Manager application. Please refer to EclerNet Manager Software manual at www.ecler.com for more information.
Signal input connectors are 3 position screw terminal block. The wiring is:

Hot or direct signal > Terminal +
Cold or inverted signal > Terminal –
Ground  > Terminal ⊥
For unbalanced connection short-circuit pin ⊥ to pin -.

5.4. Audio Output Connections
The rear panel of a MIMO SG offers 8(MIMO88SG) or 12 (MIMO1212SG) analoguesignal outputs “OUT”, all balanced and acceptingline level signals.

Signal output connectors are 3 position screw terminal block. The wiring is:
Hot or direct signal > Terminal +
Cold or inverted signal > Terminal –
Ground > Terminal ⊥
For UNBALANCED connections, leave the – terminal unconnected.
5.5. ETHERNET port for programming and control
An RJ45 type connector allows connecting the equipment to an Ethernet network:

• Management from EclerNet Manager application. Please refer to EclerNet Manager Software manual at www.ecler.com for more information.
• Possibility of direct connection (point to point) between a computer and a MIMO SG unit.
• Connection to third party other devices. (Crestron, AMX, Vity, Medialon, etc. Registered trademarks of their manufacturers). Protocol used: Ecler TP-NET. See the TP-NET protocol manual for more information.
• Connection to WPNETTOUCH units (remote control of an entire network of EclerNet devices through custom graphic panels).

5.5.1 Factory Preset Network settings
The factory default network settings for EclerNet Manager compatible devices are as follows:

• IP: 192.168.0.100
• Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Gate: 192.168.0.1
• UDP Port: 2210

5.6. REMOTE port for digital remote controls
The REMOTE port allows the connection of digital remote-control devices, such as the WPNETTOUCH wall panel or the MPAGE16 paging console. The REMOTE port is connected to the digital control bus the remote devices are daisy-chained to, the last one being loaded with a 120 Ω termination resistor between CAN HIGH and CAN LOW.

Refer to the remote device documentation (WPNETTOUCH, MPAGE16, etc) for more information about your connection and controls.
Please refer to EclerNet Manager Software manual at www.ecler.com for more information about programming a MIMO SG to manage the remote devices that are connected to the REMOTE port.
5.7. GPI Remote Control Ports
The rear panel of the MIMO SG offers 8 (MIMO88SG) or 12 (MIMO1212SG) GPI inputs for 0-10 VDC continuous control voltage. Each of these inputs can be connected to an external physical device (potentiometer, contact closure, continuously variable voltage 0-10V DC, etc.) and assigned to a MIMO SG function, as for example:

• Input, output channel or matrix crosspoint volume remote control by means of a WPaVOL physical knob or an Ecler WP Series’ WPVOL-IR remote control
• MUTE or SOLO activation/deactivation by means of a switch or contact closure
• Recalling a preset with a push button or contact closure
  GPI connectors are screw terminal blocks with three-contacts. The wiring is as follows:
  Positive, + 12 VDC > Pin +
  Variable voltage, 0-12 VDC > Pin ↑
  Ground  > Pin ⊥

Jumpers position: ALOG / LIN → LIN position
+12 / +10 → +12 position
WPaVOL-SR connection to MIMO serial GPI ports
Connecting cables can be up to 500 meters with a minimum section of 0.5 mm 2.
Consult your ECLER dealer or www.ecler.com about the WP series remote control wall panels and other accessories available for connection to the GPI port.

5.8. Remote control RS-232 Port
The built-in RS-232 port in the rear panel allows an external device to communicate with a MIMO SG unit via serial connection. Said connection uses the TP-NET protocol syntax so to enable the external device to obtain the value of any of the parameters of the MIMO SG unit (by “GET” commands) and/or modify said values (“SET” commands). See the TPNET protocol manual for more information.
The serial connection should comply with the following specifications:

• Baud rate: 57600 (fixed, no auto negotiation)
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None

WIRING RS232 – DB9

RS232| DB9
Tx| Pin 2 (RxD)
Rx| Pin 3 (TxD)
Gnd| Pin 5 (Signal Gnd)

The following elements are available on the MIMO SG series front panel:

• Input LED indicators: indicate the presence of audio signal at the unit’s input, and its intensity level (green, amber and red indicate in this order the increased intensity level)
• Output LED indicators: indicate the presence of audio signal at the unit’s output, and its intensity level (green, amber and red indicate in this order the increased intensity level)
• Status LED indicators (STATUS):
  o DATA: Off: there is no connection to EclerNet Manager even if connected to Ethernet. On: connected to EclerNet Manager or to other third party application via TP-NET protocol. Flashing: data traffic with EclerNet Manager or another application.
  o POWER: Illuminates when the unit is in operation. It flashes if there is an error in the unit or if firmware is not correct. It also flashes when you update firmware

CLEANING

The front panel should not be cleaned with dissolvent or abrasive substances because silk-printing could be damaged. To clean it, use a soft cloth slightly wet with water and neutral liquid soap; dry it with a clean cloth. Be careful that water never gets into the unit through the holes of the front panel.

TP-NET PROTOCOL
SOFTWARE
Third-Party NET

TP-NET PROTOCOL INTRODUCTION

The TP-NET protocol lets a client device (control device) get and/or set the values of several parameters of the EclerNet compatible devices (MIMO and MIMO SG series digital matrices, DUO-NET PLAYER, NXA digital audio manager series, NZA amplifier series, NPA amplifier series, etc.), like volumes, mutes, alarms, etc. It’s as well available for eMIMO1616 digital matrix, HUB series digital zoner, MIMO7272DN and
MIMO4040CDN digital matrix.
The communication with these digital audio devices can be established using Ethernet and the UDP/IP transport protocol, always by means of the 5800 UDP port. A second option for this communication is using the RS-232 interface that some of these compatible devices do also have (MIMO series, DUO-NET PLAYER, NXA series, etc.). In this case, the serial connection must fulfil the following specifications:

• Baud rate: 57600 (fixed, no autonegotiation) for all the devices, except for DUONET PLAYER, eMIMO1616, HUB series and MIMO4040CDN, which use 115200baud rate)
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None

In case the Ecler device has an Euroblock connector for the RS-232 interface, the serial cable wiring, from the device’s connector to a standard DB9 serial interface connector, must be the following:

WIRING RS232-  DB9

RS232| DB9
Tx| Pin 2 (RxD)
Rx| Pin 3 (TxD)
Gnd| Pin 5 (Signal Gnd)

The protocol is simple and direct, making it easy to read, write and modify the generated code. It is based on messages with no begin and end delimiter: each message is selfdelimited by the UDP packet size, which is defined  with a maximum of 80 characters. All the messages must  be written in capitalletters.
To let some control systems (like CRESTRON®, EXTRON®, AMX®, RTI®, VITY®, MEDIALON®, etc.) process the messages more easily, the EclerNet device adds the character LF (0x0A) to the end of each message. This way the  client can buffer the messages to process them, if it’s required. The EclerNet device can also handle several messages received in a single message packet by using the LF delimiter.
The available messages are built with one or more fields separated with blank spaces ( = blank space): [PARAM1] [PARAM2] [PARAM3] [PARAM4][LF] The first field (TYPE) defines the message type and then, the required parameters for it (each kind of message requires a given number of parameters). The field TYPE can have these values:

• SYSTEM
• GET
• SET
• INC
• DEC
• SUBSCRIBE
• UNSUBSCRIBE
• DATA
• ERROR

At the end of this document you’ll find all the available messages and their parameters for each model of the EclerNet compatible devices.
The SYSTEM, GET, SET, INC, DEC, SUBSCRIBE & UNSUBSCRIBE messages can be sent from the client to the EclerNet device. The DATA & ERROR messages can be sent from the device to the client. The only exception is the SYSTEM PING message, that is a SYSTEM type message that is sent from the EclerNet device when the initial message from the client to the device was SYSTEM CONNECT PINGPONG.
The communication (using UDP or RS-232) starts when a client sends the message SYSTEM CONNECT to the EclerNet device. As far as the UDP communication requires no connection (unlike the TCP), the EclerNet device stores this client’s IP address, and then uses it as the destination IP address for the messages that it generates (DATA & ERROR). After receiving the SYSTEM CONNECT message, the device dumps its entire configuration using several consecutive DATA messages.
The communication can be terminated by two methods:

• Manually: when the client sends the SYSTEM DISCONNECT message, cancelling all the subscriptions and stopping the DATA & ERROR messages
• Automatically: in case the initial message was SYSTEM CONNECT PINGPONG and the client didn’t get any SYSTEM PONG message in a period longer than 10 seconds (presuming a communication breakdown).

The SET messages don’t have an automatic acknowledgement with a DATA message sent from the EclerNet device after it has processed the SET command. The client must update the values itself and must send the needed GET message if it requires confirmation from the device.

NOTES:

• The numerical values are always integer numbers without +, –, comma or dot symbols.

• [PINGPONG] is an optional parameter used to configure the device-client communication with a periodical check, to see whether the client or the device have terminated it. When configured this way, the device sends a SYSTEM PING once per second, and the client must answer with a SYSTEM PONG message. If anyone doesn’t get these messages along a 10 seconds period, the communication will be considered terminated
