2.3 Connecting Cables (AC Power Cable and Network Cable)
Purpose
In the case of AC power supply, the AC adaptor should be used and there
should be an AC power supply socket near the alarm box. The AC adaptor
delivered with the alarm box provides a 2-meter-long DC power cable, and the
AC power cable is also 2 meter long. The location of AC adaptor and the length
of the power cables should be considered when the alarm box is installed.
The power cables and network cable should be fixed on the wall after they are
covered by jackets. Cabling should be done with smooth bends. The cables
may be damaged if the ends of the cables are tightened.
Prerequisites
The alarm box is installed.
The power cable and network cable are prepared and laid well.
Tools and instruments are ready.
Steps
1. Connect the straight-through cable (RJ-45 connector) to the network
interface of the alarm box, and then connect the other end to the port of
the hub or to the layer-2 switch that resides in the same LAN with the
alarm server.
2. Connect the three-pole plug of the AC power cable to the AC power
supply socket, and then connect the any end of the power cable to the
AC adaptor. Make sure that the AC power supply socket is switched off
before you connect cables to it.
