The IP-Logic system is simple to deploy; however, it is highly recommended to prototype the
installation at the integrator facility before installing at the customer site. The devices can be
preconfigured and debugged in a controlled and flexible environment where more time can be
dedicated to determining problem areas with the installation. With early preparation, the
installer will save time and money and minimize the time constraint of installation at the
customer site.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Most IP-Logic devices support PoE to eliminate the need for an external power supply. Powering
of most PoE enabled devices centralizes the power distribution to a network switch, capable of
providing PoE power.
Note
:
Pay special attention to the power limits of the PoE sourcing capable network switch.
Ensure that the total power budget of IP-Logic units do not exceed the power budget
of the PoE network switch.
Thermal Requirements
Reliability of electronic devices is predicated on proper thermal management. Heat will cause
detrimental effects to the longevity and reliability of electronic components. Install IP-Logic units
away from heat sources, such as heaters, fireplaces, and other electronic devices.
Mounting
Most IP-Logic devices are fan-less designs to eliminate fan noise and improve reliability.
However, the devices must be positioned vertically where the heat sink fins are oriented up and
down. The chassis can be bolted to walls or other objects using the included mounting brackets.
Do not place objects on top of the chassis, which may reduce the effectiveness of convection
cooling. Properly route all cables away from the chassis so that trapped heat does not cause
hotspots on the chassis.
Do not lay down the units flat on a table surface for an extended period as this may not provide
sufficient convection cooling. Do not stack units on top of each other as this will cause rapid
overheating of the units below. Ensure that there is at least 25mm (1 inch) clearance between
units.
When rack mounting, use the IP-Logic Rack Cage (sold separately). The Cage uses smart thermal
management to optimally control the fan speed for sufficient cooling while operating the fans at
minimal speed to reduce fan noise.
