Creating a Router Network
The external power supplies are described in
tor has 4 pins.
The enclosing ring of the cable connectors are connected to ground. Be careful not to
short the power pins (+48V) to the ring.
Always disconnect the power supply from AC power before connecting the power
supply to the router. Then reconnect AC power to the power supply.
See
on page 75 if the power LED on the front of the router (or control
panel) fails to light.
8 Connect input devices and output devices. The exact connections are, of course, determined
by the requirements of your system.
The AES and 3Gig cards have DIN 1.0/2.3 connectors. Depending on the devices you are con-
necting to your router, you might need to obtain BNC-to-DIN adapter cables.
Following are recommended practices for installing CR6400 routers:
•
If the router is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient tem-
perature of the rack environment may be greater than room’s ambient temperature. Install
the router in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specified for the router.
•
Install the router in a rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the
router is not compromised.
•
Mount the router in the rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise from uneven
mechanical loading.
•
Connect the router to your supply circuit with consideration of the effect that overloading
the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Observe the nameplate
ratings when addressing this concern.
•
Maintain reliable earthing (grounding) of rack-mounted equipment. Give particular atten-
tion to indirect supply connectionssuch as power strips.
Creating a Router Network
A router network is necessary if you wish to perform multi-level takes and locks. Otherwise, a
single stand-alone router is sufficient.
A CRSC network is required if you want configurable router levels, configurable IP addresses, or
configurable button panels.
A stand-alone CR6400 network is sufficient if you don’t require a CRSC network.
Stand-alone networks are discussed here. See
