Communications 

Prerequisites  

Before performing permanent modem installations, the 

modem that will be connected to the panel must be initialized 
from the computer running the VeriTrax software. 

AC-225 Hardware Installation and User Guide 

Page 39 

 

 

Computer Connections 

The MD-N33 must connect to the computer via a serial port. 

To connect to the PC: 

1.  Connect a 9VDC adapter to the first MD-N33. Make sure 

that the power LED (Red) is on. 

2.  Connect the PC, using an available COM port, to the MD-

N33 with cross serial cable

3.  Connect the MD-N33's RJ11 jack to the telephone line 

using the telephone cable. 

AC-225 Panel Connections 

1.  Connect a 9VDC adapter to the second MD-N33. Make 

sure that the power LED (Red) is on. 

2.  Connect the MD-N33's RJ11 jack to the telephone wall 

mount using the telephone cable.  

3.  Connect the MD-N33 DB9 female jack to the MD-14 DB9 

female jack. 

4.  Connect the AC-225 RS-485 outlet to the MD-14 4 wires 

cable. Make sure the J1 switch (on the AC-225) is set to RS-

485 Mode. 

 

 

Note: 

The telephone numbers shown in the examples below are 
for illustration purposes only. 
 

 

Note: 

Up to 32 panels can be connected on this RS-485 
network.
