BASIC SIP CONNECTIONS
The Frick SIP may be connected directly to a single Quan-
tum™ LX or HD panel for a minimum system con
fi
guration, or
it may be connected to an existing Ethernet network.
Connecting the SIP to an existing Quantum™ LX or HD con-
trol panel is accomplished by routing a recommended CAT-5
Ethernet cable to each of the panels that you wish to include
in your network (the recommended cables and parts may be
found in any of the Quantum™ LX or HD communications
manuals).
For a Single Panel (Minimum Con
fi
guration)
– Only one
CAT-5 cable will need to be run from the panel, and it may
plug directly into the SIP.

Crossover Cable

Note:
Most pre-made, store-bought Ethernet cables
are the straight pin-to-pin variety, and work in most
con
fi
gurations. However, if you want to connect two
Ethernet devices directly together, in this case one
SIP to one Quantum™ LX or HD panel, you will need
to use a crossover Cat-5 cable. Refer to the following
pictorial to construct a crossover cable:

3 – White w/green stripe
7 – White w/brown stripe
4 – Blue w/white stripe
8 – Brown w/white stripe
For multiple Panels
- Each cable should be routed back
from the Quantum™ LX or HD panel to a common area,
where the ends can be plugged into a switch. The switch
will then have a single cable that connects to the SIP (and
to an optional existing Ethernet network).
