USB
Connect a USB storage device (not a HDD) if required. Check the user manual for more information.
Ensure proper space for all connectors when mounted (see section 7).
4.1 Powering the device
A power supply working with any of the voltage range allowed is needed (check section 6). Once connected the RUN
led (Figure above) will turn on.
WARNING!
In order to avoid earth loops that can damage the gateway and/or any other equipment connected to it, we
strongly recommend:
•
The use of DC power supplies, floating or with the negative terminal connected to earth.
Never use a DC
power supply with the positive terminal connected to earth
.
•
The use of AC power supplies only if they are floating and not powering any other device.
4.2 Connection to ASCII
4.2.1 ASCII TCP/IP
Connect the communication cable coming from the network hub or switch to the ETH port of IntesisBox. The cable to
be used shall be a straight Ethernet UTP/FTP CAT5 cable.
4.2.2 ASCII Serial
Connect the communication cable coming from the ASCII network to the port marked as Port B of IntesisBox. Connect
the EIA485 bus to connectors to connectors B1 (B+), B2 (A-
) and B3 (SNGD) of gateway’s PortB. Respect the polarity.
Remember the characteristics of the standard EIA485 bus: maximum distance of 1200 meters, maximum 32 devices
connected to the bus, and in each end of the bus it must be a termination resistor of 120 Ω. Set port switch SW1 to ON
if gateway is installed on one bus end. SW2-3 will generally go OFF (no polarization), as polarization will typically be
provided in the ASCII Serial master device.
4.3 Connection to KNX
Connect the communication cable coming from the KNX bus to the PortA of IntesisBox.
In case there is no response from the KNX installation or KNX devices to the telegrams sent by the IntesisBox, check
that they are operative and reachable from the KNX installation used by IntesisBox.
Check as well if there is a line coupler that it is not filtering the telegrams from/to the IntesisBox.
4.4 Connection to the configuration tool
This action allows the user to have access to configuration and monitoring of the device (more information can be found
in the configuration tool User Manual). Two methods to connect to the PC can be used:
•
Ethernet:
Using the Ethernet port of IntesisBox.
•
USB:
Using the console port of IntesisBox, connect a USB cable from the console port to the PC.
