Infrared Device Compatibility
The IP-Logic Input and Output interface circuitry is identical to both RX and TX. The IR input
supports Infrared Receivers as well as IR output electrical interfaces from Control Systems.
IR Inputs
When using Infrared Receivers, it is recommended to use the included Zigen IR Receiver with the
proper 3.5mm Jack pin out:
1.
Tip = Signal
2.
Ring = Power
3.
Shield = GND
When interfacing with the electrical IR outputs from Control Systems, use a 2 pin 3.5mm Jack
with the following pin out:
1.
Tip = Signal
2.
Ring/Shield = GND
Control system electrical interfaces vary greatly with adjustable signals ranging from 3V up to
24V. For IP-Logic to properly decode the IR serial data, it is important to adhere to the following
logic thresholds: < 0.8 volts for logic 0, >1.5 volts for logic 1. Adjust the control sy
stem’s IR Output
signal levels if required to meet the threshold requirements of IP-Logic.
IR Outputs
When using Infrared Emitters, it is recommended to use the included Zigen IR Emitter with the
proper 3.5mm Jack pin out:
1.
Tip = Signal
2.
Ring/Shield = GND
1Gbps Ethernet Interface
The IP-Logic is equipped with a 1Gbps
Ethernet port to serve as a “Virtual Switch”. This virtual
switch flows through the 10Gbps VLAN and is designed to extend a 1Gbps Ethernet port between
TX and RX. This interface allows additional hosts to be connected to the 10Gbps network.
This IEEE 802.1ab compliant LAN interface performs with the characteristic behavior of a virtual
unmanaged switch and does not have control over discrete Layer 2 or Layer 3 configuration
parameters. Below are some important items to take into consideration when using the 1Gbps
network interface:
•
No support for jumbo packets due to hardware limitations.
•
No VLAN or priority assignments.
•
No implementation of spanning tree protocol (STP/BPDU) loop protection.
