Getting Started 2. 1 Physical Connections Network / Power Connections Item Description 9VDC Socket for the 2. 1mm connector on the power supply Network Cat 5 socket accepts standard network cable Power LED Indication that the unit has got power supplied Link LED Indicator to show that the interface is connected to a network Activity LED Indicator blinks when data is being sent / received over the network 8450 / 8460 Connections Item Description Power 9VDC Can be used as either a loop through power supply if the 9VDC socket is used on the front of the interface or alternatively can be used to supply the interface with 9V @ 500mA if an alternative power source to the one supplied is required. CL A connection between this point and ground () signifies a closed loop, once this connection is broken from ground then an alarm will trigger if required. Port 1 Bi-directional connection to the first RS232 controlled device. Connect the `TX' to the `RX' of the device to control and the `RX' to the `TX' of the device to control with the ground connections commoned together. Loop This port is input only and any RS232 signals received will be transmitted back out of Port 2. Port 2 See Port 1 for connection to the second RS232 device. Loop This port is input only and any RS232 signals received will be transmitted back out of Port 3. Port 3 See Port 1 for connection to the third RS232 device. 8455 / 8465 Connections Item Description CL A connection between these two pins signifies a closed loop, once this connection is broken an alarm will trigger if required. Port 1 Connect the D9 cable from this port to the device that you are going to control. Loop This port is input only and any RS232 signals received will be transmitted back out of the RS232 Port. 8701 Connections Item Description CL A connection between this point and ground () signifies a closed loop, once this connection is broken from ground then an alarm will trigger if required. P3 Bi-directional connection to the first RS232 controlled device. Connect the `TX' to the `RX' of the device to control and the `RX' to the `TX' of the device to control with the ground connections commoned together. P4 Bi-directional connection to the 2nd RS232 controlled device. Connect the `TX' to the `RX' of the device to control and the `RX' to the `TX' of the device to control with the ground connections commoned together www. amx. com -3- IP Control Unit Installation Guide V1. 1 th 12 February 2008 2. 2 Using the loop through facility The 8450-02 / 8460-02 have dual loop through facility available allowing the IP Control Unit to sit in the middle of an existing connection between devices. Any RS232 received on the Loop of port 2 is sent straight out of the TX of port 2 and likewise anything received on the loop of port 3 gets sent out of port 3. 2. 3 Example installation Figure 2. 3 shows and example installation correctly wired to maximise the potential of the IP Control Unit. You will see that the way the setup is connected, the control panel makes use of both loop through paths in order to allow local control of the projector and switcher with the IP Control Unit still having full access to the devices for remote control. Figure 2. 3 Example installation correctly wired to maximise system potential www. amx. com -4- IP Control Unit Installation Guide V1. 1 th 12 February 2008 Connecting the IP Control Unit to a network When you first receive your IP Control Unit, it is configured to obtain it's network IP address, subnet mask and default gateway via DHCP. Follow the procedures listed below that best describe the situation that you are installing the Control Units into. 3. 1 Connecting the Control Unit via a crossover cable Before connecting the IP Control Unit to the computer check that the PC's network connection is set to `Obtain An IP Address Automatically'. [. . . ] After a few seconds the IP Control Unit will re-appear in the window with the new IP address and can be added to your Site List. If you use this method, you must go into the properties of the device afterwards and select properties, re-type the IP address and click `Update Settings'. If you are connecting directly, have you used a crossover cable or if connecting to a switch, have you used a crossover cable when a normal patch cable is required. Do you have multiple network adapters in your PC, try disabling all other network adapters so that the one connected to the IP interface is the only one available. A. 2 · · The Control Unit has not picked up the correct IP address via DHCP The DHCP request has failed, reset the power to the interface and try again. [. . . ]
