Connecting between MD-N32 and
AC-215
This manual is written as step by step instruction. It is very important to follow
the right order.
A.1
Hardware Requirements
Standard LAN cable – RJ45 plugs in both sides.
Rosslare's MD-14 (RS232 to RS485 converter).
Rosslare's MD-N32 (TCP/IP to serial gateway).
Rosslare's AC-215 panel.
A.2
Topics
Before setting, ask your network administrator for one, free IP address and
subnet mask, which has to be used here.
The IP addresses shown in the examples below are for illustration purpose
only.
A.3
Connections – PC Side
Connect the PC using the internal network card (Mostly in the rear side of the
PC) to the LAN network with regular network cable.
(If the PC is already identified and known in the local network, it is already
connected and you do not need any further installation).

Connections – AC-215 Panel Side
1.
Connect a 9 VDC adapter to the MD-N32. Check that the power LED
(Red) is on.
2.
Connect the MD-N32 to the LAN by using a regular network cable
through the MD-N32's RJ-45 connector. Check that the link LED (Green) is
on.

serial cable.
4.

5.
Make sure that J1 (on the AC-215) is set to RS485 Mode.
