Russound ACA-E5 Installation Manual

RNET LINK TO ADDITIONAL CONTROLLERS
The RNET Link In and Link Out can be used to connect two or more (up to 6) ACA-E5 controllers (does
not support CAV6.6, CAM6.6 or CAA66 controllers). The connection is made using a CAT-5 patch cable
from the Link Out of the first controller and into the Link In of the next controller. Along with RNET data
signals, the RNET Link In and Link Out jack passes source IR signals.
The CAT-5 patch cable must have an RJ45 connector on each end with T568A wiring configuration.
It should not exceed 18 inches in length to avoid potential cross-talk between the source-specific IR
repeating signal lines. These are only for source-specific IR remote repeating, not codes initiated from the
controller’s internal IR library.
CONTROLLER ID SWITCH
The Controller ID switch is a rotary switch with seven positions. It is used to set the controller ID number
for multi-controller systems, and to put the ACA-E5 into Firmware Update mode.
If two or more ACA-E5 controllers are connected using the RNET Link In and Link Out ports, each
controller must have a unique controller ID prior to being connected through the RNET ports. Set each
controller’s ID switch to a unique number. Any multi-controller configuration requires that one controller be
set to controller ID #1.
This action must be performed before the system setup procedure is completed through SCS-E5
software and before powering up the system.
FIRMWARE UPDATE
Before performing a firmware update on the ACA-E5, power off the unit, set the switch to Firmware
Update. Return the switch to the assigned controller ID number after update is completed.
