2. Power connection
Do not connect mains to the desk top power supply before connecting the power supply to the router.
Connect the DB9 female connector from the desk top power supply to the main unit. Tighten the screws to assure a proper
contact. To connect mains to the desk top power supply you need a mains cord with IEC 320 connector. NTW-VD1602 uses
the desk top power model AC-10-84-10-005 (±5V / 10W).
If an external power supply is used the NTW-VD1602 router requires ±5V DC with a minimum current of 600mA. The
following pin-out is used on the DB9 male power connector:
Pin 1
0V
Pin 2
+5V
Pin 6
-5V
3. Connecting the NTW-VD1602 to your PC
For connection to a PC with Miranda’s i-Control control software the RS-232 interface is used. The
RS-232 port on all Network devices uses the standard DCE pin-out, see pin-out table under 4.3.
A standard modem cable can be used for connecting the router to the PCs serial port.
3.1.
Selection of router address
The router address depends on the system configuration the router is going to work with. See chapter 5 for more information.
All routers are delivered with default address 0. A router addressed to 0 can be controlled from the i-Control software with
address 0. i-Control offers the control of up to 16 different routers or combinations of routers.
3.2.
Pin-out of RS-232 connector
The DB9 female connector for the RS-232 port has the following pin-out:
Pin 2
Tx
Pin 3
Rx
Pin 5
GND
3.3.
Maximum cable length
The maximum cable length for a RS-232 connection is per definition 15m. Longer distances can be installed depending on
the environmental conditions of the installation site. It is up to the installer / user to secure a proper installation of the RS-
232 connection.
