Overview
Network Protocol Converter
The Network Protocol Converter by Leviton's Lighting Control
Division provides exceptional convenience and flexibility as an
interface for remote devices, displays, and networking of theatrical
and architectural control devices. The Network Protocol Converter
(NPC) is installed as a node on an Ethernet network communicating
using the ColorNet 2.0 and TCP/IP protocols. The Network
Protocol Converter when combined with other network devices
supporting ColorNet 2.0 system allows for the following types of
devices to communicate over the ColorNet network:
ColorNet 2.0 Enabled Control Consoles (Innovator)
i Series Dimmer Racks
Hand Held Focus Remotes
Dimension D8000/D4200 Architectural Control Stations

Currently there are three models of the NPC available each of which
support the following interfaces:
To facilitate communication between these devices your NPC allows
you to:
Create quick port to network patches
Create quick network to port patches
Patch channels from the network to channels on a port
Patch channels from a port to channels on the network
View video displays produced by other ColorNet
enabled equipment
Although the concepts, routines, and functions for installation and
configuration are similar for all three models, this manual is
specifically tailored for the DLR model.
Definitions
Here are some common words you will find in this manual which
may require a little more definition.
Channel – A channel usually refers to an individual unit of control
on the Luma-Net network. However the phrase channel sometimes
is used to reference an individual DMX address or a fader on a
control device or theatrical console. If you pay careful attention,
you will be able to determine the meaning by it’s context.

ColorNet – ColorNet is Leviton’s network protocol used to carry
lighting control signals over Ethernet wiring using TCP/IP. For
additional information on ColorNet see the appendices to this
document.
DMX – A digital multiplexed control protocol used to control
lighting devices like dimmers, effects, and automated lighting.
DMX Universe – A DMX universe is a virtual or physical group of
512 DMX addresses. In the physical world, a DMX universe
represents a DMX input or output from a source of control like a
control console or NPC. In the virtual world, like on the ColorNet
network, a DMX universe is just simply a common group of 512
DMX channels. All DMX signals on the ColorNet network belong to a
virtual DMX Universe.
Ethernet – Ethernet is a networking term which describes the
physical devices and equipment used to inter-connect networking
equipment. When a network is referenced as an ‘Ethernet network’
it describes a certain set of components used to interconnect
computing equipment.
IP Address – An IP address is a way to reference a particular node
on a network which speaks the TCP/IP protocol. The IP address can
be user defined and set via the software for the device. All IP
addresses on the same network must only reference one node.
LC-Net- Leviton’s "can" based network which carries data for some
of our architectural products.
Lighting Group – Lighting Groups are used to delineate groups of
Luma-Net channels which operate together (within the same room)
when using room separate/combine Luma-Net functions.
Luma-Net – Leviton’s RS-485 based network which carries control
data for our architectural stations.

MAC Address – a unique network address which identifies a piece
of networking hardware to be used on an Ethernet network. The
MAC address of a device can not be changed.
TCP/IP – is a networking protocol or rather suite of protocols
commonly used on Ethernet networks and the internet. TCP is an
acronym for Transmission Control Protocol and IP is an acronym
for Internet Protocol.

Part 1- Initial Set-up & Basic
Configuration
This section of the manual will cover the installation and basic
configuration of the NPC. There are (4) steps required to make
your NPC work:
1. Physical Installation
2. Set General & Network Settings
3. Set Device Connections
4. Create Basic Patches
Until these steps are complete, your NPC will not be operational.
For advanced configuration of the NPC, please reference Part 2 of
this guide.

Physical Connections
The information in this chapter identifies and describes all of the
physical connections to, controls, and indicators of the NPC.
The images below show the front and side views of the NPC. They
are designed to give you an overview of the physical attributes to
the NPC. Use numbered callouts to cross reference with the legend/
descriptions below.
Figure 2: NPC DLR 1/0 Reference Diagram
1) Power Input and Indicator: This LED will be lit if the NPC is
receiving DC input power. Plug the supplied DC Power supply into
this port to supply power to the NPC. The NPC requires a +12-
24VDC, and has a load of 800mA excluding any external loads like
Luma-Net stations or analog devices. The NPC is supplied with a
12VDC, 2.5A power supply.
2) DMX512 Indicators: Each DMX512 input and output LED
indicators will light green to show activity on their respective ports.
3) Ethernet Ports: Ethernet ports used for connection to a
ColorNet 2.0 TCP/IP Ethernet network.
User Guide
Rev: A, 02 03 2004,.sw3.10 Page 9
4) Luma-Net and Sapphire-Net Indicators: Show status of the
Luma-Net ports.
5) DMX512 Output Port: Output a standard DMX512 control
signal from the ColorNet network.
6) DMX512 Input Port: Any device that supplies a DMX512
signal can be connected to these ports. The dimmer information
contained within the DMX512 signal can be patched to any location
on the ColorNet network or directly to an output port.
7) Cover: Reversible cover for surface mount applications.
8) RS-232- Luma-Net Programming Port.
9) Luma-Net Port: This ports are used to connect Luma-Net or
Sapphire-Net control networks to the NPC.
Power: Accepts +12-24v DC Input power. NPC uses 3/4A, Luma-
Net run 20A max total power consumption not to exceed 2.75 A.
Inline Luma-Net power supplies can be used if more power is
needed.
