Plus-X RP-8 Adapter Installation and Operation Manual Rev B
1
Introduction
The Plus-X RP-8 Adapter connects directly to Sine Systems RP-8 Interface Panels to allow a fast, easy
upgrade to the ARC Plus Remote Control. The Plus-X RP-8 Adapter communicates with the ARC Plus
via LAN/WAN, allowing installation anywhere a network connection is available.
The Plus-X RP-8 Adapter is part of the Plus-X family of Ethernet I/O products designed for the ARC Plus.
Installation Note
Even though you may operate the ARC Plus and Plus-X RP-8 Adapter on different subnets, Burk
Technology strongly recommends installing the Plus-X RP-8 Adapter on the same LAN as the ARC Plus.
In a network failure, an ARC Plus can only continue to monitor and control a Plus-X device on the same
LAN. If the network link between the units is not available, ARC Plus macros, alarm monitoring and
telephone control will be unavailable for the Plus-X device.
Before you Begin
Before installing the Plus-X RP-8 Adapter, please have the following network settings ready:

The IP address of your ARC Plus
