Installing Hardware
This section includes setting up the System Controller
hardware and installing other devices on the control
system, such as dimmers, switches, navigation
devices, thermostats, etc. It also includes installing the
physical cables, such as Ethernet cables, contact,
relays, etc. It includes connecting the PC and the
System Controller using Ethernet cables to the local
area network as they communicate with each other
through the local area network. This documentation
assumes that the local area network that is either using
Ethernet or WiFi is already set up.
To install the System Controller and other System
Devices:
1.
Connect PC to live TCP/IP Ethernet network (Local
Area Network or LAN). Use either a wireless
access point or Ethernet cable to connect the PC
to the office network.
2.
Connect System Controller to Ethernet Local Area
Network (LAN) using the RJ-45 labeled Ethernet
on the back of the System Controller. If successful,
the amber LED turns on and the green LED blinks.
3.
Power up System Controller using the power cord
provided.
4.
Install all other system devices, hardware, cables,
and networks that you intend to control on the
Touch4 system as instructed in the accompanying
documentation.
