Network
Connect the E3 system controller to a LAN to download the system configuration from the E3 Console
and send status information to the E3
Portal.
Connect the local area network cable to the RJ45 jack labeled
LAN
on the controller (see Figure 3). The
LAN RJ45 jack has two LEDs on the connector:
•
Green—indicates link status
•
Yellow—indicates activity.
WARNING
—Improper connection of the network cable may lead to equipment damage.
DO
NOT
connect the network cable to any other RJ45 jacks on the controller (i.e.,
API 1–4, API 5A/5B, or the I/O port).
Analog PABX Connection
(
Model 013-02-0095-003 only
)
Connect the analog telephone cable to the RJ11 jack labeled
PABX
on the rear panel of the controller (see
API (Access Panel Interface)
APIs connect access panels to an
Elemec3
system controller. Install the following types of access panel
interfaces with these controllers:
•
Type I
Elemec3
1-Line Access Panel Interface
•
Type II
Elemec3
4-Line Access Panel Interface
Both Type I and Type II APIs permit the connection of up to four access panels each. Type I cards have a
single audio channel shared by the connected access panels. Only one access panel has access to the
audio channel at a time. When more than one access panel requests access to the audio channel, the panel
with the highest assigned priority takes precedence. Type II API cards provide four audio channels;
assign each connected access panel a separate audio channel.
Category 5e cable assemblies connect the access panel interfaces to the
Elemec3
system controller for
audio, data, and power.
N
OTE
:
The Cat5e cables are
NOT
Ethernet cables. Do
NOT
connect them to a LAN.
For Type I access panel interfaces, install a Cat5e cable between one of the RJ45 jacks;
API
1
,
2
,
3
, or
4
on the controller and the RJ45 jack
J1
on the Type I access panel interface.
A single Type II access panel interface requires two Cat5e cable assemblies, connected to the RJ45 jacks
API
5A
&
5B
only.
1.
Install one Cat5e cable between the RJ45 jack
API
5A
and the RJ45 jack
J3
, on the Type II access
panel interface.
2.
Install the second Cat5e cable between the RJ45 jack
API
5B
and the RJ45 jack
J1
, on the Type II
access panel interface.
Configure multiple type II (up to four) APIs (see Figure 8). In this scenario, all four audio channels are
programmatically available to the attached access panels (up to 16). Refer to the system manual and
drawings supplied with the
Elemec3
system for details regarding the physically installed APIs and their
wiring.
