Bridge Model 7130CF Series
3. Electrical Connections and Indicators
The TZ Centurion
™
Bridge has several different electrical
connections and indicators. The front panel of the unit
(shown in Figure 3) has the following connections and
indicators:
>
One RJ45 port used to connect to an Ethernet Local Area
Network (LAN). The TZ Centurion Bridge may be powered
via Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) through this port per the
IEEE 802.3af standard for installation of eight devices
or less. Note that the TZ Centurion Bridge is to be
connected only to PoE networks routed within the facility.
>
Two status LEDs.
>
Eight RJ45 ports that accept RJ45 (8P8C) plugs used to
make connections to the TZ device network. Note: These
accept the same Category 5e/6 (Cat 5e/6) cabling used in
Ethernet connections. However, the TZ Centurion Bridge
communicates to devices attached to it (locks and readers)
via RS-485 serial communications, NOT 802.3 Ethernet.
These ports do not communicate with Ethernet or other
computer networks. Only the cabling from TZ devices
should be connected. TZ recommends the best practice of
using a different colour of Cat 5e/6 cabling for the devices
connected to the TZ Centurion Bridge than that used
for Ethernet throughout the environment (e.g., blue for
Ethernet, orange for TZ Centurion devices).
