EG2 Ethernet Gateway - Programming Manual
Device Identification Pushbutton (Ident)
The Device Identification switch, when pushed, will cause a Device Identification message to be sent onto the
CAN network.
If a computer is connected to the iCANnet, the EG2 will be identified in the Device tree if the device is already
loaded into iCANsoft and a message will show in the watch window and if open, the device will show in the
Advanced Network Search dialog box.
CAN Status LEDs
Behind the iCANnet Termination Link are the Status LED (Green) and Data LED (Red). The Status LED will
flash continually and the Data LED will flash when a CAN message is present on the iCANnet.
Power Supply Connector
Never connect mains power to the EG2!
NOTE: Early versions of the product were fitted with a round DC connector, but this has since changed to a
two part screw terminal of a similar style to the CAN connection terminals.
Power Supply
A regulated DC power supply must be used to provide power to the EG2. The voltage required is minimum
12V and maximum 15V. The power supply should be capable of supplying 500mA.
Ethernet Connection
Ethernet connection is achieved with a standard RJ45 connector. To connect to an Ethernet router or switch,
use a standard RJ45 cable (T-568B).
The pin out is shown above. Both ends of the cable should be wired in the same order.
Establishing Communications with the EG2
Connection the EG2 can either by using the iCANnet port or by using Ethernet via the RJ45 connector.
NOTE: For iCANnet connection to function, the EG2 must be
connected to an iCAN network consisting of at least one
other iCAN device other than the EG2. All configuration of
the EG2 must be done using the Device Editor program that
is currently supplied with the iCANsoft application. Open by
using the Device Editor icon.

EG2 Ethernet Gateway - Programming Manual
It is recommended that both Ethernet and CAN connections are in place before power is supplied the EG2.
Ethernet Address
Factory Default IP Address
The factory default address for the EG2 is:
The factory Ethernet default address of the EG-2 is shown above. This can be selected at any time by
deselecting DHCP and then selecting Restore Defaults.
Changing EG2 IP address
The IP address of the EG2 can be changed using Device Editor or by using the built in Webserver.
IMPORTANT
If ‘Restore Defaults’ is selected when communication to the EG2 from the computer is via Ethernet,
communications will we broken to the EG2 if the IP Address 192.168.0.100 is not in the range of the DHCP
server. There is also the chance of potential duplication of addresses. It is recommended that a fixed IP
address is used.
Using Device Editor IP connection
Open Device Editor and load the EG2.
Select the Ethernet Tab
Enter the required IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway
Select Apply
When a change is made to the IP address the EG2 will go offline and restart. This will take approximately 30
seconds. If connection to the EG2 is by Device Editor using an IP connection then it will be necessary to
modify the IP address of the computer being used to be in the range of the new IP address of the EG2.
During this time the CAN Data and CAN Status LEDs will go off. The EG2 is back on line when these LEDs
are active again.
Using Device Editor iCAN connection
Same as above except there will be no requirement to change any settings of the computer. The EG2 will still
go off line for a short period while the new address is applied.

EG2 Ethernet Gateway - Programming Manual
iCAN Device Number
The EG-2 will be supplied with a factory default Device number. This will usually be 255-nnn where nnn is a
number in the range 1-255. It is recommended to renumber the device as part of the programming in order to
move the device away from segment 255.
NOTE: Device Editor will not allow users to renumber devices to segment or node values above 253.
iCANnet Connection
For physical connection details see EG2 Connectors, Indicators and Pushbuttons on page 3.
IMPORTANT
The iCANnet port does not supply +12v so some external source of +12V must be used in order to power a
PC Node or any other device that does not supply DC power to the network. A networked device such as a
Source Controller is required.
•
Connect to the iCANnet using the PC Node.
•
The EG2 can be found on the iCANnet in the same way as any other CAN device. Using the Find
Devices
•
it will appear as Device Type ‘EG2’.
Load into Device Editor by a double click of the EG2 line or if the Device is checked using the
button
•
Once loaded selecting the Gateway from the Devices tree shows the Device properties and allows
configuration.

EG2 Ethernet Gateway - Programming Manual
Ethernet Connection
The EG-2 is set from the factory with a fixed IP address of 192.168.0.100 and with DHCP not enabled.
EG2 to Computer (direct connection)
This can be done using a standard Ethernet cable. In most cases a crossover cable is not required. If the EG2
is still set with the factory default settings it will be necessary to set the Ethernet port of the computer to an IP
address different to the EG2 but with the same Subnet mask and Gateway. The following values would allow
communication:IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
192.168.0.101 (any number in the range 1-255 except 100)
255.255.255.0
192.168.0.1
NOTE: DHCP cannot be used in this type of connection because there is no DHCP server.
In order to communicate with the EG2 using the Ethernet port on a computer, using iCANsoft or Device Editor,
it is necessary to change the method that iCANsoft or Device Editor uses to connect. When using Ethernet,
iCANLink is not used.
Using iCANsoft
•
Open iCANsoft and on the Toolbar select Tools>Options>Network
•
Select Ethernet Gateway and set the Server IP Address to be the same as the IP Address of the EG2;
if using an EG2 straight from the factory this will be as shown above.
•
Select OK to confirm change.

EG2 Ethernet Gateway - Programming Manual
SmartPhone Config Tool
Virtual Information
When a system is configured using iCANsoft, ‘Virtual Information’ is created both automatically and manually.
When a device is uploaded to iCANsoft Virtual information is created from the data uploaded. When a new
Virtual Area is required in iCANsoft this adds to virtual information.
Virtual Information is used to create data for other devices not directly configurable by iCANsoft. This includes
Touchscreens when configured using the Touchscreen Editor and iPhone/Android devices when using the
SmartPhone Config Tool.
Virtual information consists of:
•
•
•
•
Area Numbers and Names
Scene Numbers and Names
Virtual Channel Numbers and Names
Area Scene Levels
This information is all stored in the ipd database of a project. Only in an iCANsoft ipd file is this collective
information stored.
By adding expanding the information within the iCANsoft file to include Area Names, Channel Names and
possibly Scene Names it can then be used in these other applications.
It is therefore worthwhile adding this information once in iCANsoft to prevent having to enter it individually in
these other tools to save time and ensure continuity.
Exporting Virtual Information from and iCANsoft (*.ipd) File
There are two methods of getting the Virtual Information from an iCANsoft file:Method 1 – Directly from iCANsoft *.ipd file.
From within the SmartPhone Config Tool use File>Import>Virtual Info From iCANsoft File.
Select the iCANsoft file that you want to get the Virtual Information from.

Method 2 – Export Virtual information from iCANsoft ipd file and then Import into SmartPhone Config
Tool
First Export the virtual items from iCANsoft by right hand mouse click on
the Virtual Areas and select Export Virtual Items.
Save the txt file with an appropriate name.
Open the SmartPhone Config Tool. Then File>Import>Virtual Items File to
import the previously saved file.
Method 3 –Starting the SmartPhone Config Tool from Device Editor
(Only applicable if configuration file was created using Device Editor)
From the General Tab of the EG2 select Smart Phone
Config Tool and then click Edit
The Smart Phone Config Tool will open with the Virtual
Information from the Device Editor file.
Which Method Should You Use?
Method 1 is the easiest and quickest to use. Method 2 might be used if you only have the exported Virtual
Information. A Virtual Items text file is much smaller than a *.ipd file. Method 3 is simplest if the configuration
was created using Device Editor.

Once the Virtual Information has been imported into the SmartPhone Config Tool it will be visible on the right
hand side of the screen as shown above.
If necessary, it is possible to change the name of an Area, Scene or Channel at this time. This will not,
however, be reflected back into the iCANsoft file from where the Virtual information was exported from. If the
Smart Phone Configuration Tool was started from within Device Editor changes to area, scene and channel
names will be written back into Device Editor.
To change the name of an area, select the area in the expanded Virtual Items tree. A properties window now
allows the Name to be changed.
In the same manner Scene names can be amended when the Area is expanded.
Channel Names and whether the channel is Dimmed or Switched can also be set

Remote Access to EG2
Using a Computer running iCANsoft
The EG2 allows the possibility of remote accessing a system via the Internet.
Access to the EG2 will require that Port Forwarding is used on a router to allow access through the Firewall.
The method of setting up the router will depend on the router type. Consult the router instructions or system
administrator.
The EG2 is identified in the network by its port number – 30089
Set the Server address in iCANsoft on the remote
computer to the router address and the port number of
the EG2.

EG2 Ethernet Gateway - Programming Manual
UDP and TCP/IP Connections - Standard
The EG2 can communicate with other devices on IP utilizing either UDP or TCP/IP. This allows the iLight
standard ASCII strings to be used to communicate bi-directionally with other control systems.
•
The port number for UDP is 30088
•
The port number for TCP/IP is 30087
In both cases the other control system has to initiate communication with the EG2 before the EG2 will send
messages. This is because the EG2 needs to know where the messages have to be sent and it gets this
information from receiving data.
Whilst the Ethernet port can be used simultaneously to connect to a router for purposes of using with
handheld devices only a single external control system can be used since the EG2 will only correspond with
the last control system it communicated with.
Therefore, if the requirement is to communicate with two independent external systems using UDP two EG2
units will be required.
TCP/IP Connection – Special
Example 1
A control system that has an IP address of 192.168.0.18 is required to communicate bi-directionally with the
EG2 using Port 20000 and to use the standard iLight ASCII protocol.
The control system will be for this purpose a TCP server. The EG2 will
need to be configured to make a connection with the control system.
To do this go to the EG2 Settings tab and set the Make Connection to
have the IP address and Port number of the control system.
Set the Send ASCII to either blank or 1.
Click Apply. The EG2 will need to restart. After the restart
communications between the EG2 and control system will be
established.
Example 2
All as above but a two more control systems (IP 192.168.0.19 Port 20000, 192.168.0.34 Port 20001). The
system using 192.168.0.34 does not need to communicate using standard iLight ASCII. Set up the ‘Make
Connection’ and ‘SendASCII’ as below.
Each IP address is separated by a
space.
The number of the IP addresses that
are to receive and send ASCII are
entered separated by a space. In this
example 1 and 2 indicate that the
address 192.168.0.18 and
192.168.0.19 will receive and send
ASCII.

EG2 Ethernet Gateway - Programming Manual
Remote Access to a Non-Local EG2 (and Connecting to a Local EG2 that Cannot AutoConnect)
If you are connecting to an EG2 from an mobile device on a network that is not directly in the same subnet as
the EG2 IP address, you may need to manually add the EG2 to the iLight Remote Application. The EG2 uses
UDP messages that are broadcast every few seconds so that mobile devices will automatically discover the
EG2.
The UDP broadcast packets are not transmitted beyond the local network, entailing the need to manually add
the EG2 if you are connecting through a router from another network or the internet. In order for this operate,
the network administrator must add port forwarding to the router on port 30089 to map this to the local EG2.
In addition, in some instances, UDP broadcast may not be supported or be turned off by IT administrators. In
this instance, you may need to manually force the connection between the iPad or Android, and the EG2
through port 30089.
Example:
You have an external router with an internal IP of 192.168.0.1 and an external IP of 10.1.2.3. The EG2 IP is
192.168.0.100. Your network administrator has setup port forwarding on Incoming Port 30089(TCP) to
forward this to 192.168.0.100, port 30089.
In the iLumin Remote Application, select the ‘Add’ button on the main Discovery page. Type in the following
info for the application:
Name: Any name you would like for the connection.
Address 10.1.2.3 (external router IP)
Port: 30089
Password: Cooper123 (this is the default password. If it has been changed in the Smartphone Config Tool
‘Device Properties’ window, enter the correct password.)
These same steps can be used to force a manual connection to an EG2 that is not being found via the mobile
device, typing in the IP address of the EG2 and port 30089 with the Cooper123 password.

Strings and ASCII Messages
The EG2 will send ASCII strings to other devices using either UDP or TCP. Custom strings can be sent to
other devices.
The example here shows four custom outputs strings configured on an EG2.
Strings 2 and 3 will send the Data whenever the a message is received by the EG2 that meets the criteria for
Output Actions 2 and 3. In this case an Area 10 Scene 1 message on the network would result in a ASCII
string 2 being sent and a Start Sequence 1 Action in Device 66-101 would cause the String 3 message to be
sent.

Daylight Saving
There are 3 options here – Auto, Manual and Disabled.
Auto applies to Europe where there is an international standard relating to daylight saving on fixed dates.
These are the last Sunday in March and last Sunday in October respectively. The clock will automatically
calculate the correct date for this to occur.
Manual allows for a start and end date to be manually entered. This may require the clock to be manually
adjusted each year.
Disabled means that no Daylight Saving will take place.
Time/Date
This section will normally display the current time and date of the clock in the EG2. When the EG2 is loaded
into Device Editor the date will be loaded. To confirm the Time and Date of the EG2 at any time use the
button.
Automatic Time and Date Update
If the EG2 is connected to the internet and has access to the NTP Pool then
the time will be kept accurate. The NTP Pool is a collection of networked
computers that provide highly accurate time via the Network Time Protocol.
These computers form the pool.ntp.org domain.
To disable NTP automatic updating of the time, go to the EG2 Settings tab
and uncheck the NtpHost. Changing the status of the NtpHost requires the
EG2 to restart.

Troubleshooting
Issue 1: Unable to see IP address of EG2 in iCANsoft when operating in DHCP mode
This is likely to be because the EG2 was started before the connection to the Ethernet was established.
Communication with the DHCP server to establish an IP address only occurs at power up. There are 3
methods to resolve this. Choose the most appropriate one for your situation:
1. Press the Reset button next to the Ethernet
connector,
2. Send a Reset message to the EG-2 through the
iCANnet connection or
3. Removing the power to the EG-2 for a few
seconds and then reinstate it.
When using either of the methods allow up to 45 seconds
for the EG-2 to start up before reloading the device into
iCANsoft using CAN connection.
Issue 2: Cannot communicate with the EG2 using Ethernet when using DHCP
This is a similar issue to the previous scenario, possibly occurring after power issues resulting in the EG2
being powered before the DHCP server. Follow the steps from Issue 1 to resolve this issue.
.
If problem persists, consider not using DHCP and use a fixed IP address. Discuss with your network
administrator if you need assistance in setting this up.
Issue 3: Cannot communicate to EG2 in iCANsoft fully and Smartphone Config will not synchronise.
Apart from general CAN based issues such as loose connections or incorrect termination, problems with
getting an EG2 to be fully configurable in iCANsoft and the Smartphone Config Tool could be due to a missing
or corrupt SD card.
If the SD card is present, make sure it is fully inserted into the holder. If it is missing or corrupt then you will
need to get a replacement card which must then be loaded with the necessary files to allow the unit to
operate.
Contact Eaton’s Cooper Controls Technical Support by submitting a support enquiry at www.ilight.info or by
calling +44 (0) 844 324 9100 (9am-5pm GMT) for details of how to resolve this.
