The PSTN connection is required for “BT Redcare secure 2” and “BT Redcare secure 3”
service.
If the telephone line carries ADSL (broadband) then an additional ADSL micro filter will
normally be required. Suitable hardwired ADSL micro filters are available from the BT Redcare
web shop. www.BT Redcare.bt.com
The unit is supplied pre-configured with the necessary 0800 telephone numbers to connect to
the BT Redcare network.
An additional 2 way block marked “Panel A B” allows for the PSTN line to be diverted out
through an onboard bypass relay for carrying out PSTN dial in panel UDL.
Note the “Panel A B” connection purely presents the PSTN out via the units bypass relay. This
is not a dial Capture connection.
Ethernet connection
The Ethernet port needs to be connected to a suitable Ethernet network for “BT Redcare
secure IP” service using CAT5 cable. For most IP installations, a standard Ethernet patch
cable can be used. The Ethernet port can also be used to connect to a local PC for advanced
unit configuration. This connection may require an Ethernet Crossover cable as the unit does
not auto detect cable type.
Aerial connection
Connect the supplied aerial to the MMCX connector on the top left of the unit. The aerial
should be placed in a position that receives the best wireless coverage for the GPRS network
being used. Carry out a survey with a signal strength tester to establish the best location.
If necessary, a selection of higher gain extension aerials can be purchased from the BT
Redcare web shop at
www.btinstallershop.com
