The Dali driver needs a Dali signal on the Dali L and N wires to switch on and off and dim. If you do not have a dali system in place , just replace the dali driver for a phase cut dimming driver.
PS Dont connect 240V to the Dali L and N, it wont like it
DALI is a digital communications protocol - the DALI pair is for sending messages between devices on a DALI network. The DALI driver interprets the messages sent from the controller and applies the necessary power to the connected fitting (maybe dimming to 20% over 5 seconds etc.) It is low voltage, usually around 16V or thereabouts. Not for power though!
