Mounting
The USB Interface cannot be fitted on a flush mounted back box and should be
mounted on the special surface mount back box which is provided.
Connections
The USB cable is connected from the host PC using the USB socket at the bottom of
the FORTESSA USB Interface (before connecting the device for the first time it is
important to start Doors Express first which will complete the driver installation).
The FORTESSA USB Interface is powered through a USB cable from the PC and does
not require a separate power supply. The green flashing LED on the PCB on the rear
of the FORTESSA USB Interface gives an indication as to whether the board is
receiving power.
The FORTESSA USB Interface should be connected to a FORTESSA Controller by
linking the Network A and B terminal block on the FORTESSA USB Interface to the
Network A and B terminal block on the FORTESSA Controller.
