Avenue Intersection–6
AveNet:
AveNet
is the Avenue control bus that allows communication between frames by the
System Control modules in each frame. Up to 20 frames can be connected on each
individual AveNet network. Any number of AveNet networks can then be connected
together via Ethernet. AveNet connection between frames requires looping between
the standard RJ11 LAN connectors of each frame with standard phone cable or
custom-made simple twisted pair LAN cable. The unused connectors must be
terminated with 100 ohm LAN terminations at the first and last frames in the group.
Pinouts of the RJ11 connector and termination are shown below.
Each Avenue device on the AveNet LAN network must have a different AveNet
address. The address is set using the Status menu functions on the front of the
System Control module in each frame.
Ethernet:
Avenue Intersection Frames may be connected to a 10BaseT Ethernet network. The
IP Address for each frame in the network is set on the System Control module in each
frame or frames connected to the Ethernet network. The Avenue backplanes have a
standard RJ45 connector for Ethernet interface.
Each Avenue device on the Ethernet network must have a different IP Address,
including the Express Panel. The address for the frame is set using the Status menu
functions on the front of the System Control Module in each frame, or a Touch Screen
or Express Panel. Refer to the
Intersection Networking
section for detailed
information.
