3. Connections 

MRKP1E to MRC88m and Expansion Keypads 

Each RJ-45 connector under each PREAMP OUT (1 – 8) is considered a “Zone 
port”.  This Zone port interfaces with MRKP1E Keypad through CAT-5 cables. 
These connectors carry command/control information between the keypad and 
the MRC88m.  Connect CAT-5 cables terminated to an RJ-45 connector from 
each Keypad to the corresponding RJ45 connector of the MRC88m as shown 
below.  (See Specifications section for maximum length of Cat-5 cables)

keypads except for the last keypad (see item #4 on Fig 2.3).  Each expansion 

keypad must each have its own unique address. (see Inst. Setup Menu on
