5. Configuration CCT 800
Configuration via IP or RS-232
Configuration of GE 800 Intercom Servers can be carried out via a RS-232 or a standard network cable.
IP (Ethernet)
For the configuration, connect the computer with a network cable directly to the GE 800 (Ethernet port
on the installation board G8A-NET) or with a switch within the network. A suitable Cat 5 cable with RJ45
plugs can be purchased at an electric outfitter or ordered directly under the type “ASK KAT 5”.
RS-232
For configuration via the RS-232 interface, a 9-way D-Submin extension cable is required (1:1, plug on
the Server side, jack on the computer side). This cable is connected to the 9-way D-Submin jack on the
G8-GEN or the installation board G8A-GEN. A suitable cable can be purchased at an electric outfitter or
ordered direct under the type “X-KAB-CCT”.
RS-232 pin assignment
Networking of housings
With networking cards G8-NET, up to 105 housings can be networked to a local system in which all fea-
tures of the GE 800 are available. Additionally, multiple locations can be networked via further network
cards (e.g. G8-LAN, G8-S0 or G8-CNET-E1).
NOTES: Configuration
It is not recommended to use RS-232 to USB adapters.
For detailed information about the configuration of features see manual “
Intercom Server Config-
uration
”.
NOTES: Networking
In a network the Intercom Server and the computer must be in the same subnet.
The Intercom Server is automatically advised an IP address during initialisation (
NOTES: Additional information
The description of the individual network cards can be found in the respective manuals. Next, only
networking via the G8-NET card is described.
In the extent of supply of the basic housing GE 800, one networking card G8-NET, one installation
board G8A-NET and one 1 m connection cable (type “ASK KAT5/1”) are included.
