Connection via the USB-to-Serial-Port RS-485 Converter
Connect the PIR detector to the converter and plug the USB cable of the converter in the /dev/ttyU2 USB port of
the XO device.
Restart the XO client software after connecting the PIR detectors to the USB port.
You can place locally powered PIR detectors at a maximum distance of 1200 m with RS-485 cables. Make sure
that there is no difference in earth potential between the XO device and the PIR detector.
You need to order the USB to serial port RS-485 converter separately (reference number 20415490).

Connection via the IFM-485-ST Interface Module
The IFM-485-ST is an interface module which allows to conveniently connect the RS-485 bus of the PIR detector
to the /dev/ttyU2 USB port of your XO device.
For detailed installation instructions, see the
ADPRO IFM-485-ST Legal Disclaimer & Intended Use of Product
(27178), and the
ADPRO PRO E PIR System Setup Manual
(26571).

Summary
IP modules allow you to connect PIR detectors via the local network, instead of via an RS-485 bus. The modules
convert the signals from network to RS-485. They are powered via PoE.
You need to set up the IP modules so that they can communicate with the XO device: assign an IP address, and
specify the correct communication settings. For this, you will use the Lantronix DeviceInstaller program. Xtralis
recommends to use IP addresses in the same range as the local network of the XO device (eth0; not in eth1
