4.4 Keypad connections
The keypad can be connected directly to a
multifunction display’s (MFDs) network connector
or via a network switch. Multiple keypads can be
connected to a system. Each keypad can be used to
control multiple MFDs. If the network is not providing
Power over Ethernet (PoE) then the keypad must be
powered using the Alternate power connector.
Note:
When connecting the keypad to a gS Series
MFD, ensure that the supplied RayNet cable is
connected with the suppression ferrite fitted on the
end of the cable closest to the MFD.

still has power supplied to it.
