PlusConnect™ GatesAir ZXA Installation and Operation Manual
1
Introduction
The PlusConnect™ GatesAir ZX provides a connection between the GatesAir ZXA transmitter series
and the ARC Plus transmitter remote control system. The PlusConnect reads transmitter parameters
using SNMP over an existing LAN, WAN, or Internet connection. The PlusConnect then forwards real-
time data to the ARC Plus, also via LAN, WAN, or Internet. Monitor and control PlusConnect channels
via:
The front panel of the ARC Plus
A web browser, using the built-in web interface on the ARC Plus
Web-enabled mobile device, using the built-in mobile web interface on the ARC Plus
PC, using optional AutoPilot® 2010 or AutoPilot® Plus software
Telephone, using the optional ESI/RSI Speech Interface for the ARC Plus
The PlusConnect is part of the Plus-X family of Ethernet I/O products designed for the ARC Plus.
Important! The PlusConnect operates in conjunction with an ARC Plus system. Be sure to complete
configuration of the ARC Plus before adding the PlusConnect to the system.
Installation Note
Even though you may operate the ARC Plus and PlusConnect on different subnets, Burk Technology
strongly recommends installing the PlusConnect on the same LAN as the ARC Plus. In a network failure,
an ARC Plus can only continue to monitor and control a PlusConnect on the same LAN. If the network
link between the units is not available, ARC Plus macros, alarm monitoring and telephone control will
be unavailable for the PlusConnect unit.
