Installation and Setup Instructions

Description

The RadioRA Network Control Interface (NCI) allows

you to control lighting throughout your home–via any

popular web browser–while utilizing an existing home

network.

Overview

Before you can begin using the NCI, you need to set

up and program the RadioRA system.

The RS232 Interface or Chronos

TM System Bridge and

Timeclock must be installed and RS232 Scenes pro-

grammed for the NCI to access them. Refer to the

RS232 Interface Setup and Installation Guide

(P/N 044-005) or the Chronos Setup and Installation

Guide (P/N 044-037) for more information.

In addition, you must have at least the following:

• PC or other web browser-enabled device capable

of browsing the NCI setup pages (Note: Do not

connect the NCI directly to a PC)

• Available port on a home or office network with a

DHCP Server (commonly found in a router, but

not in a hub or switch)

• RA-NET-120 hardware

Important Notes

Codes: Install in accordance with all local and

national electrical codes.

Power: Use only the adapter provided with the NCI.

Caution - Using an adapter not rated for

the following specifications could damage

the NCI and possibly overheat the adapter.

• Input: 120 V 60 Hz 6 W

• Output: 12 V 300 mA

NEC Class 2; IEC PELV

Environment: Ambient operating temperature:

0-40 °C, 32-104 °F, 0-90% humidity, non-condensing.

Indoor use only.

Cleaning: To clean, wipe with a clean damp cloth.

DO NOT use any chemical solutions. DO NOT paint

the NCI.

Mounting: DO NOT ground the NCI.

Setup: The NCI will not function until it is configured

and connected to a RadioRA system that has already

been setup.

Setup and Installation

1. Mount the NCI. Place the NCI in a suitable clean,

dry, ventilated indoor location, near the RS232

Interface or Chronos

System Bridge and

Timeclock. Using the screws and anchors

provided, mount the interface in a convenient

location.

Note: The NCI is not designed to be installed in an

attic, crawl space, or an outdoor location.

2. Connect RS232 Cable. Connect a standard 9-

pin serial cable to the serial port on the

NCI. Connect the other end of the cable to the

serial port on the RS232 Interface (RA-RS232) or

Chronos System Bridge and Timeclock (RA-SBT-

CHR). See NCI Connections (below).

3. Connect Ethernet Cable. Connect a

standard Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 jack on the

NCI. Connect the other end of the cable to the

Ethernet hub/switch/router.

Note: Do not connect the NCI directly to a PC.

See NCI Connections (below).

4. Connect Power. Insert the power adapter’s barrel

plug into the power jack on the RA-NET-120. Plug

the power adapter into a standard 120 V 60 Hz

wall receptacle. The Power LED (see NCI

Connections, below) should illuminate when the

NCI has power.

Configuring the NCI

1. Connecting to the NCI

Once the network hardware is in place, you can

initiate communication with the RA-NET-120

hardware.

Note: The NCI requires 1 minute to boot up after

power is applied, before setup can be started. The

User LED (see NCI Connections, page 2) will flash

once every two seconds when the NCI is ready.

Open the web browser on the computer, and in the

Address bar enter:

http://lutron/setup

This will bring up the NCI setup start page.

Configure the NCI according to the instructions in

the next section.

Note: During the setup process, the NCI is refer-

erred to as a “node”–a generic term for a network

device.

2. Configuring the NCI

Caution: Select Devices before you perform

any other setup task. When you select a new

device, it will be necessary to enter the con-

figuration settings again.

NCI configuration is divided into four

procedures:

• Select Devices

– Enter custom name for accessing NCI

through a web browser (optional)

– Select the Lutron_RadioRA RS232

device file

• Configuration

– Setup Pages–choose number of

buttons, enter button names, and select

button functions

– Enable/Disable Pages

• Enter Contact Information

• Save Settings

These procedures are accessed through the NCI

setup pages. The Navigation bar on the left of the

page allows direct access to any step in the

process. Changing the device setup will affect

other settings and may require you to make

changes to the configuration.

The wizard steps through all four procedures in

order. Start the wizard by pressing the Start Wizard

button on the setup start page.

3. Using the NCI

Open the web browser on the computer, and in the

Address bar enter:

http://lutron (or the custom network name

entered during device setup)

This will bring up the NCI user pages that were

configured in Step 1.

From a PDA, enter:

http://lutron/pda

Note: The PDA control page will display the first

five buttons of the first page for PDA control.

Returning to Default Factory Settings

Returning a Network Control Interface to Default

Factory Settings will perma-

nently delete all current pro-

gramming in the NCI.

To return to Default Factory

Settings, press and hold the

reset button (located on the

bottom of the NCI) until the

User LED (see NCI

Connections, page 2)

begins to flash rapidly

(approximately 5 seconds).

When the reset button is

released, the NCI will reset.

Troubleshooting Guide

Definitions of Common Terms:

• setup device - A setup device is any device with a web browser capable of configuring the RadioRA

® Network Control Interface (e.g.

personal computer, tablet PC, PDA)

• user pages - The user pages (http://lutron) are web pages served by the Network Control Interface to the user’s web browser. They

allow control of the RadioRA lighting system through web-based buttons.

• setup pages - The setup pages (http://lutron/setup) are web pages served by the Network Control Interface to the user’s web browser.

They allow setup and configuration of the buttons displayed on the user pages.

Symptom

Power LED is not lit.

The Ethernet Activity / Link

LED is not lit.

Typing "http://lutron/setup" in

the web browser address

bar does not load the setup

pages.

Dimmers, Switches or

GRAFIK Eye

® Control Units

do not respond to button

presses on user pages.

Possible Cause

No power to the Network Control

Interface (NCI).

The NCI is not plugged into the net-

work.

The NCI requires 1 minute to boot

up after power is applied, before

setup can be started.

The setup device is not plugged into

the network.

The setup device (PC, PDA, etc.)

does not have an IP address.

The setup device and/or NCI are

connected to a network that does

not have a DHCP Server.

RS232 cable is not connected to

both devices.

Chronos Bridge using incorrect

baud rate.

The scene being activated in the

Chronos Bridge or RS232 Interface

is not programmed.

User page button is activating

incorrect scene in Chronos Bridge

or the RS232 Interface.

Remedy

Verify that there is power to the NCI. Verify the power LED is lit.

Verify that the NCI is connected to the network using the standard cat 5

Ethernet cable provided. DO NOT use a crossover cable. DO NOT con-

nect the NCI directly to a personal comptuer.

Wait 1 minute for the NCI to boot up. The User LED will flash once every

2 seconds when the NCI is ready.

Verify that the setup device is connected to the network using a standard

cat 5 Ethernet cable.

Verify that the setup device has a valid IP address and can communicate

with the network. For further information on connecting the setup device

to the network, refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of

the setup device.

Networks with a router (not a hub or switch) typically have a DHCP

Server. Verify that the network has a DHCP Server, and it is enabled.

Verify that the RS232 cable is present and connected properly (do not

use a null modem cable).

On an RS232 Interface or Chronos

TM Bridge verify that the RS232 Tx and

Rx LEDs flash when a button is pressed on the web page.

Verify baud rate on the Chronos Bridge is set to 9600 baud. See Chronos

Setup and Installation Guide (P/N 044-037) for deatils.

Program the scene being activated through the Chronos Bridge or RS232

Interface. See Overview (page 1).

Verify user page button function is configured correctly in the setup

pages. On a Chronos Bridgeuse the Terminal (under RS232 Setup) to

verify incoming commands. See Configuring the NCI (page 3).
