Programming and configuration
The Pow-R-Command Digital Switch can be programmed
and configured utilizing the PRC-E controller integrated
Web page, or Lighting Optimization Software (LOS). Each
configuration parameter is easily set through a user-friendly
“point and click” interface. From the interface, the user will
have the ability to change a number of switch parameters.
See the “Web Page Programming” section of this
document for more information.

Digital Switch network installation
Installing RJ-45 connector to 23 AWG CAT6 cable
In order to complete installation of Pow-R-Command Digital
Switches (PRCDS) the installer must first pull 23-gauge
CAT6 network cable from the Pow-R-Command controller
to each PRCDS forming a daisy chain network architecture.
Once the cable is pulled into each switch box the installer
is ready to install RJ-45 connectors to the cable following
T-568B standard for Ethernet twisted pair cables. Cable
installation kits that include tools and connectors are
available at electronics stores. It is recommended that tools
specifically designed for making Ethernet cables be used
to help ensure good connections while saving the installer
time. The following items will be required for this step:
1.
RJ-45 connectors: These connectors can be purchased
at most electronic stores and computer stores and
usually come in bulk packages. It’s always a good idea
to get more than you expect you will need.
2.
Crimping tool: These tools are often purchased at
electronic stores. To create a network cable you will
need a crimper that is capable of crimping a RJ-45 cable
(not just a RJ-11 cable, which looks similar to a RJ-45).
3.
CAT6 stripper or knife: If you plan on making several
network cables you should also consider getting a wire
stripper capable of stripping CAT6. If you do not plan
on creating many network cables a knife will suffice.
For simplicity and to prevent potential issues we
recommend a wire stripper.
4.
Professional electricians scissors designed for use in
electrical, telephone and datacomm service applications
are recommended. These types of scissors are
ergonomically designed with large ring to provide more
power while reducing fatigue and wrist strain. Their
bottom blades feature serrated teeth for gripping cable
and wire.
