us, we cannot rule out the possibility of staining.
Interconnecting the SDC 8000 system components
Depending on the expansion stage of your system, you have to:
y interconnect the consoles (all expansion stages),
y interconnect the central units (expansion stage 3),
y connect a PC to the “master” central unit if the system is to be PC
controlled.
Interconnecting the consoles
To interconnect the consoles via the system cables:
̈
Connect the black RJ 45 plug of the system cable to the OUT socket
·
of the console.
̈
Connect the grey RJ 45 plug of the system cable to the IN socket
³
of
the console.
Note!
You can interconnect up to 15 consoles in one cable string.
Connecting a cable string to the central unit
After having interconnected the consoles, connect the cable strings to the
central unit. You can connect up to six cable strings to a single central unit.
To connect a cable string to the central unit:
̈
Connect the black RJ 45 plug of the system cable to one of the RJ 45
sockets labelled PORT 1 to PORT 6
ƻ
of the central unit.
̈
Connect the grey RJ 45 plug of the system cable to the IN socket
³
of
the first console of a cable string.
̈
Initialize the consoles as described in the section “Turning on the
central unit for the first time” on page 76.
Interconnecting several central units
If you have to interconnect several central units, we recommend mounting
the central units into a rack.
To interconnect the central units:
̈
At the first central unit, connect the black RJ 45 plug of the system
cable to the MASTER OUT socket
¸ .
If the SLAVE IN socket
¹
of a central unit is not connected, this central
unit automatically becomes the “master”.
̈
Connect the grey RJ 45 plug of the system cable connected to the
“master” to the SLAVE IN socket
¹
of the second central unit.
If the SLAVE IN socket
¹
of a central unit is connected, this central unit
automatically becomes a “slave”.
̈
To connect additional “slaves”, connect the SLAVE OUT socket of the
first “slave” to the SLAVE IN socket of the following “slave”, and so on.
