Figure 06 > Wiring connections for a Philips Dynalite system with
integration to third party devices using different protocols
Bridges and gateways incorporate a processor and two
network ports with isolated communications between them.
The processor listens to DyNet and converts the message to
a different protocol, or vice versa. Common applications are;
01. DyNet 56K – The standard network bridge converts
DyNet at 9600 baud to DyNet at 56K baud. It also offers

02. DMX512 – DMX512 is a lighting control protocol
primarily used in the entertainment industry. It consists
of a single transmitter, or master, and multiple slaves. The

03. RS232 ASCII – The DNG-232 network gateway
can receive and transmit standard or custom text strings
using RS232 serial communication. Equipment with an
RS232 control port, such as AV components or data
projectors, can be controlled from DyNet through this
device. Text commands from other systems can also be
translated into DyNet messages.
Often, communication between a DyNet network and
another network is required. In order to do so,
a Network Bridge or Gateway is utilised.
