Another benefit of using RJ-45 connectors is that you can easily locate sensors at distant locations
within your facility by using your existing structured cabling. For example: Suppose you have an
RIM-600 installed in room A and you want to install a sensor in room B. If your existing cabling
infrastructure has an unused cable path between room A and room B, then you simply use an RJ-45
interconnect cable to connect the RIM-600 to the patch panel in room A, and an RJ-45 interconnect
cable from the wall jack in room B to the sensor.
CAUTION: The sensor produces an analog signal which must connect directly to the Host or
Node. The path from the sensor to the RIM-600 unit CANNOT pass through a network Hub or
Switch.
Network Configuration
The RIM-600 Host has a serial port on the front panel which is used to configure network settings
and security options. A dumb terminal or terminal emulation software is required to get online
and set up the configuration. The port is male DTE, so you will need to use a null modem cable.
Terminal communication settings must be set to:
n 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
To get online with the RIM-600, connect your terminal to the serial port and press <RETURN>. A
menu will appear which will guide you through the setup.
