The IMS-4000 Host is housed in a 17"w x 1.75"h x 10"d enclosure, which is 1 EIA rack-mount space high.
fronT panel layoUT
The front panel contains connections for eight sensor inputs, microphone input, Ethernet port, serial port, and status LEDs.
See figure below:

2 Ethernet port (10/100Base-T)
3 Phone line
4 Sensor Inputs (8)
5 Battery Power Alarm LED
6 AC Power Alarm LED
7 External Microphone Input
8 Internal Microphone
serial porT
The RS-232 serial port is used to configure network settings. The port operates at 9600 baud, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
RJ-45 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Port
This jack is for connecting to your network so that the IMS-4000 Host can communicate with the IMS-4000 Nodes and
ping selected network servers and/or services. Two LEDs indicate received data (green) and transmitted data (yellow).
phone JaCk
Connect the IMS-4000’s Phone jack to a standard 2-wire analog phone line. The unit dials using touch-tones, with loop
start only. The IMS-4000 will recognize ringer frequencies from 16 to 60 Hz and will operate with all standard analog tele-
phone systems that accept tone dialing.
Certain private telephone systems and public switching equipment may not accept the unit’s dialing or may generate an
unacceptable ring signal. In those cases, a dedicated line may be required for the unit. Consult the supplier of your tele-
phone system if you encounter problems.
CAUTION: Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never install telephone jacks in wet
locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or
terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface. Use caution when installing
or modifying telephone lines.
sensor inpUTs
The sensor inputs are designed to interface with IMS-4000 series sensors (See Chapter 7). The use of RJ-45 jacks for sensor
inputs allows the use of existing structured cabling to connect remote sensors.
Since the sensor produces an analog signal, it must connect directly to the Host or Node. The path from the sensor to the
IMS unit CANNOT pass through a network Hub or Switch.
