5.0 Installing and Connecting LYNK II to the Sol-Ark Network
5.1 Networking Discover Lithium Batteries with LYNK II
NOTE
• Do not plug an AEbus RJ-45 network cable or terminator into the 10/100
Ethernet port of the LYNK II.
• Do not connect a CAT5 cable from the AEbus, LYNK or Ethernet ports of
the LYNK II to a WAN or MODEM port of a network router.
• Turn OFF all devices before connecting cables.
• Mixing the LYNK Network with other networks may result in equipment
malfunction and damage.
NOTE
Unless specified by Discover Battery, power electronics must not be connected
directly to the LYNK network or AEbus network.
Refer to the
LYNK II Communication Gateway User Manual (850-0033)
for detailed
instructions on network layouts, connections and terminations for compatible
Discover Lithium battery models. Some key reminders are repeated here for
convenience.
• At least one battery must be connected to the LYNK Port or AEbus Port on
LYNK II.
• A network of batteries will communicate as one battery.
• No more than one network of batteries may be connected to LYNK II.
• Network termination is required for the system's proper functioning -
note some batteries and devices may auto-terminate.
• LYNK II requires power from three possible sources (13-90 VDC power
supply, AEbus Port, or LYNK Port enabled Discover Lithium batteries or a
USB device).
• Discover Lithium batteries must be set to ON to supply power and
communicate data with LYNK II.
