Front Desk Network Connections
The connection between the RDB Network and the Front Desk PC is made through a standard
network cable. The cable goes from the main RDB Switch to the second network card installed
on the Front Desk PC.
The RDB network is separated from the PC network, and it has a different IP matrix.
In standard installations the PC network standard IP address matrix is 192.168.1.xx, while the
RDB network has 192.168.10.1xx.
Every PC supplied by Qubica has a second security network card, but only the Front Desk PC
can be connected to the RDB network, where the MxServer is running.
B.4
L-COM Connections
The connection between RDB units and Pinsetter Interfaces, Tvision Unit, Bumper Interfaces
and Q-Foulis made through the 4-wire cable L-COM line.
The recommended size for L-COM wires is AWG 21 - 0.75mm² Ø for the power carrying wires
and AWG 32 - 0.2mm²
Ø
for the communication wires.
The AWG 21 - 0.75mm² Ø wire can be used also for the communication wire.
Qubica supplies 60 feet – 18m of L-COM cable.
As pinsetter interfaces and bumper interfaces are mounted on the curtain wall, or in other
locations near the RDB, there is no need for long cable connection between them.
The connection between RDB and Tvision requires the laying of a L-COM cable from the RDB
through the capping to the Tvision.
B.5
Overhead Monitor Connections
The connection between the RDB on the back-end side of the center and the overhead monitor
interface on the front-side is made with standard network cables, supplied by Qubica.
NOTE: The signals running through the monitor cables are not standard network signals, DO
NOT CONNECT the monitor cables to standard network equipment.
Each monitor has its own cable coming out from the RDB unit. It is suggested to lay a conduct
for cables in the false ceiling, one conduct for each pair of lanes.
Standard cable length for overhead monitor connections is 100 feet – 30 m. If longer cables are
needed please notify Qubica before the making the order.
B.6

commercial audio and video cables.
Audio Line: 2 x 0.25mm Shielded Cable.
Video Line: RG59 Coaxial Cable.
Lay the appropriate conducts between the Audio.Video Source and the Curtain Wall and use the
Network Conduit along the whole length of the curtain wall.
