POWER SUPPLY MODULE The Power Supply Module (PSM) features an on-board switching power supply that converts 90-240 volt (47-63Hz) AC input power to ±8 volt DC power for internal use by all system modules. In the event of a loss of AC power, the Power Supply Module has provisions to accept an ±8 Volt DC redundant power source (not provided). An internal monitoring circuit senses the loss of primary voltage and automatically switches to the redundant power supply, effectively eliminating any disturbance to system functions. The Power Supply module also provides a 0-5VDC square wave “Line-Sync” signal that is in-phase and synchronized to the primary power source to automatically synchronize internal switching functions.

VIDEO INPUT MODULES • The MP168 VIM-4 module is used in single and dual bay applications. VIM-4 modules are used in conjunction with external Looping Panels to route video signals into, through, and out of the MP168 Bay. VIM-4 modules may reside in slots A through O.

The MP168 Video Input Modules (VIMs) function by recognizing the presence of a video signal and then switching the signal to the Central Processing Unit. Then, the video is switched to the appropriate Video Output Module. All video inputs to the MP168 system are connected to the application specific VIM Rear Panels (see Figure 1-6B). The VIM card receives switching instructions from user keyboards, GUIs, and external systems with the appropriate protocol. In the MP168 Switching System, there are four types of Video Input Modules (VIM-1, VIM-2, VIM-3, and VIM-4). The Circuit Cards in all four VIM modules are identical, only the Rear Panel Assemblies differ, according to their intended function.

•

Video Input Module 1 The MP168 Video Input Module 1 (VIM-1) is only used in single-bay configurations to provide twelve terminated BNC inputs that accept NTSC or PAL standard video signals (see Figure 1-7B). Additionally, each VIM-1 module provides automatic video loss detection across all its channels at three different levels: high, medium, and low. A fourth level exists to automatically detect the presence of video sync. Each VIM-1 module processes the incoming video signal, identifies its presence to the Central Processing Module, and enables the switch to a Video Output Module (according to system demand) for display on a system monitor or use by other accessory devices.

• An MP168 VIM-1 module provides 12 direct input channels for video sources. The MP168 supports a maximum of 15 VIM-1 modules. VIM-1 modules can reside in slots A through O determined by the letter slot screening on the front and rear bay surface (see Figure 1-6A and 1-7A).

Video Input Modules 2 and 3

The use of cabled pairs in a dual bay configuration does not increase the number of video inputs, but does provide expanded video output capabilities.

MP168 Video Input Modules 2 and 3 (VIM-2 and VIM-3) each have six BNC connectors and one 34-pin connector (see Figure 1-8B). These two modules are designed specifically for use in dual-bay configurations and work in tandem to distribute video to the additional monitors that the configuration allows. A Coaxial ribbon cable joins each VIM-2 and -3 module to form a “cabled pair” to loop video input signals between the IN and OUT terminals of two bays (see Figure 1-8A).

Video Input Module 4 The MP168 Video Input Module 4 (VIM-4) is used for both standard switching and looping applications where signals from video sources are passed through the VIM-4 to dedicated video output devices. Each VIM-4 has two Coaxial cable connectors labeled IN (video from a loop panel) and OUT (video to a suitable video output processing device or to the input of a VIM-4 module in a dual bay configuration). In single bay systems, one loop panel receives video input signals from cameras and similar devices and routes them via ribbon cable to the IN connector of the VIM-4 module. A loop panel receives the video signals from the OUT connector of the VIM-4 and routes the signal to suitable video output devices such as monitors and recorders.

In dual bay systems, a loop panel is used in conjunction with cabled pairs of VIM-4 modules (one module per bay). Ribbon cables route the signals between the bays and the loop panel. NOTE: A cabled pair is two modules, each located in a

separate bay, joined by a ribbon cable.

VIDEO OUTPUT MODULE The Video Output Module also has six BNC connectors labeled IN. These connectors are used in situations where a dedicated video input signal is being routed directly to a dedicated monitor. When these dedicated video signals pass through the VOM module, the MP168 adds the title information and the system time and date to the signal for display on the output monitor.

MP168 Video Output Modules (VOMs) function as video output drivers for the MP168 Bay. A VOM module provides a text overlay for video signals switched by the VIM modules. The video output signals are routed to monitors and VCRs through one of six OUT BNC connectors (see Figure 1-10D). During the switching process, an internal character generator in the VOM automatically inserts the appropriate title information onto the video signal. Title information includes the date, time, input camera number (real and pseudo), output monitor status, alarm title, and a 16 character user-programmable camera or preset title.

Video input signals routed through the IN connectors of the VOM module are not available for MP168 switching functions; the video is simply routed through the bay.

Each Video Output Module has six BNC connectors labeled OUT. These OUT connectors are used for routing video signals directly from the bay to a monitor with the title information inserted. Each Video Output Module includes the following components: • •

CONTROL CODE MODULE The Control Code Module is an optional component that provides direct control code output for three communications protocols; SensorNet, AD Manchester, and SEC RS-422. The Control Code Module (CCM) outputs control code without the need for intermediary code translation devices. The addition of Control Code Distributors can expand the output capabilities of the CCM module. The rear panel of the Control Code Module contains two distinct terminal blocks for connecting external devices (see Figure 1-11D). • The Control Code Module can reside in one of two

slots depending on the system configuration:

In applications with a single VOM module, the Control Code Module always resides in slot O (the single VOM module always resides in slot P). In applications with two VOM modules, the Control Code Module always resides in slot N (the two VOM modules always reside in slots P and O).

Control Code Module (CCM) Bay Slot When the optional Control Code Module (CCM) is used to provide direct code output for AD Manchester, SEC-RS-422, or SensorNet communications (see Appendix C), the CCM is resident in the MP168 bay slot N only. In applications requiring either one or two Video Output Modules (VOMs), VOM 1 (video outputs 1-6) resides in slot P. VOM 2 (video outputs 7-12) resides in slot O.

AD Manchester Code Terminal The second connector provides three AD Manchester terminal outputs for connecting up to three groups of appropriate code driven devices. The Control Code Module generates direct AD Manchester Control Code for pan/tilts, lenses, and receiver/drivers.

NOTE: AD Manchester Control Code lines must be 18-AWG, shielded, twisted pair, Belden 8760, or an equivalent (for plenum, use Belden 88760 or equivalent).

SEC RS-422 Code Terminal The second connector also features one 5-pin RS-422 output for connecting SpeedDome series domes to the MP168. Multiple SpeedDome units may be connected in a “daisy chain” configuration, or through the use of Sensormatic RS-422 junction boxes (J-boxes).

NOTE: RS-422 Control Code lines must be 22-AWG, two 2-wire twisted and shielded pairs.

MOUNTING

! WARNING! Do not install this product in hazardous areas where highly combustible or explosive products are stored or used.

The MP168 Matrix Switcher/Controller Bay is designed for rack mounting in a standard 19-inch Electronics Industry Association (EIA) electronic rack (one rack unit wide). The bay has a height of five rack units.

For proper ventilation and ease of service, allow a minimum of 1 meter (3 feet) between both the front and rear of the rack to any wall. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure proper airflow around the bay to provide adequate ventilation.

Two mounting ears (one for each side) are included with the MP168 Bay for mounting to a rack assembly (see Figure 2-1). Each mounting ear is first attached to the bay with the three bolts provided with the unit. The bay is then inserted into the rack assembly and secured with three bolts (not provided) between the bay and the rack assembly.

Redundant Power Supply Connections Connections for the redundant power supply are made to a dedicated terminal on the Power Supply Module above the primary power inlet (see Figure 2-2B). 1. Remove the primary power to the system by

disconnecting the power supply line cord from its source.

2. Remove the front half of each module from the front of the MP168 Bay.

3. Connect the output of the redundant power supply to the connector terminal provided with the PSM rear panel using 14 AWG (2.0mm square) conductors for both powers and grounds (refer also to Table 2-3).

4. Verify that all connections have been properly completed. Severe and permanent damage may occur to the entire system if improperly connected.

5. Insert the pre-wired connector into the receptacle on the rear panel of the Power Supply Module.

6. Apply power to the redundant power supply and use

a suitable voltmeter to measure +8VDC and -8VDC at the point of entry to the bay. Verify that the voltages match the pin numbers listed in Table 2-3. Remove the power from the redundant unit.

7. Re-install all front-half modules back into the MP168 Bay, except for the Power Supply Module. Again, apply power to the redundant supply and re-verify the proper voltages. The voltages should measure between +7.75 VDC (±0.25%) and -7.75 VDC (±0.25%) when fully loaded. DO NOT continue if the voltages do not meet the above specifications.

8. Using a suitable DC ammeter, measure the current associated with each +8 and -8VDC input. The current should not exceed the values specified in Table 2-2.

9. Remove the power to the redundant supply again. 10. Add the Power Supply Module back into the

MP168 Bay and connect the power supply line cord. The unit should now be operating normally.

11. Apply power to the redundant unit. The system is now ready to switch to the redundant supply should the primary supply fail.

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT MODULE CONNECTIONS Ten RJ-45 jacks are provided on the Central Processing Unit Module for system control connections (see Figure 2-3). The Central Processing Unit Module accepts input from RS-232 based keyboards, alarm interface units, external computers, and other RS-232 devices. Additional control keyboards can be connected through the use of an AD1981 Port Expander (see page A-5).

RS-232 Connections For proper RS-232 communications, both the pin definitions and the EIA Standard DTE or DCE designation of such equipment must be observed. The MP168 Switcher/Controller, as with all American Dynamics equipment, is configured as a DTE device.

For DTE-to-DTE communications between an RS-232 device and the Central Processing Unit Module, the following pin connections must be observed (see also page A-2): 1. The XMIT pin of the RS-232 device must connect

to the RCD pin of the respective Central Processing Module port.

2. The RCD pin of the RS-232 device must connect to the XMIT pin of the respective Central Processing Module port.

3. The GROUND pin of the RS-232 device must connect to the GROUND pin of the respective Central Processing Unit Module port.

If the connection distance between the Central Processing Unit Module and the RS-232 device is greater than 2.1 m (7 feet), a Junction Box (supplied) must be used between the units (see page A-3). NOTE: Two Packages, each containing one 2.1 meter

(7 foot) cable and one RS-232 Junction box are included width the MP168 Bay.

CONTROL CODE MODULE CONNECTIONS The Control Code Module (CCM) provides three types of communication protocols for controlling accessory pan/tilt/zoom units. The three communications protocols provided by the Control Code Module are SensorNet, AD Manchester, and RS-422. The CCM module is provided with two tubular connector plugs: one connector plug for the SensorNet terminal block, and one connector plug for the AD Manchester/RS-422 terminal block. All connections to the CCM are made by first inserting the appropriate signal wires into the correct slots on the respective orange tubular connector plug. NOTE: The orange tubular connector plugs are not

connected to the module when they are shipped.

When all connections are complete, the connector plug is inserted into the mating receptacle mounted on the CCM Rear Panel.

SensorNet Connections With release 3.0, the MP168 Control Code Module (CCM) supports SensorNet as well as RS-422 and AD Manchester communications (see Appendix C).

AD Manchester Control Code Configurations When using multiple AD Manchester Control Code receivers in a system, the installer must determine the type of configuration that best suits the application.

Daisy Chain Configuration Each Manchester Control Code output port accommodates a maximum of three receiver/driver units (RDUs) in a “Daisy Chain” configuration (see Figure 2-4) of less than 1.5KM (5000 feet). AD Manchester Control Code outputs connect to receiver/driver units (AD1641M, MP1684B, etc.) in order to control fixed speed pan/tilt devices. NOTE: Use 18AWG shielded, 2-wire, twisted pair

cable (Belden 8760 or equivalent - for plenum, use Belden 88760 or equivalent).

To comply with all national and local electrical requirements, all Control Code circuits are NEC Class 2, power limited, low voltage. Avoid installation near high-voltage circuits or other potential interference sources.

Star Configuration A star configuration refers to hardwiring one Manchester output to a Control Code distribution unit (see Figure 2-5). A typical Control Code distribution device expands the number of Receiver/Driver Units (RDUs) on one code line to 64 RDUs. In a star configuration, one AD Manchester Control Code line connects one Control Code Distributor to the Control Code Module. The MP168 Bay considers this connection a “group” of Receiver/Driver Units. For addressing purposes, group connections to the Control Code module should be planned as follows:

Manchester output number 1 (the upper most port) is for RDU numbers 1 through 64.

Manchester output 2 (the center port) is for RDU numbers 65 through 128.

Manchester output 3 (the lower port) is for RDU numbers 129 through 192.

Each unit must be terminated with a 120-ohm resistor that provides a low impedance termination between the module and the code distribution unit.

RS-422 Connections An RS-422 port is provided for connecting SEC SpeedDome™ series surveillance units to the MP168 system (see Figures 2-6A and 2-6B). SpeedDome units may be connected in a “daisy chain” configuration, or to Sensormatic RS-422 junction boxes (J-boxes). Ten SpeedDome units may be connected to one J-box and ten J-boxes may be connected together with a maximum distance of 915 meters (3000 feet) between the last unit in the chain and the Control Code Module.

NOTE: RS-422 Control Code lines must be 22-AWG, two 2-wire twisted and shielded pairs.

VIDEO INPUT MODULE CONNECTIONS

Continue until all inputs are connected to the system. Unused video input terminals on the VIM modules do not require any external connection or termination, and may be left unconnected.

VIM-1 Connections As described in Chapter 1, up to 15 VIM-1 modules may be used with the MP168 Switcher. Each VIM-1 module includes 12 terminated BNCs for video input connections. All VIM-1 modules are identical regardless of the number installed in the bay. The position in which the VIM-1 is installed in the Bay determines the numbers that the MP168 Switcher assigns to the particular video inputs. The starting camera number for VIM-1 modules is located at the top BNC on the left-most module in the Bay (as seen from the rear). The first VIM-1 module is for video inputs 1 – 12; the next module (the second VIM-1) is for inputs 13 - 24, etc (see Figure 2-7A). NOTE: All video input connections should be made

using a quality 75 ohm, RG-59 video cable such as Belden 8241 (or equivalent) with BNC connectors.

Connect video inputs in succession to the respective BNC terminal on the VIM-1 module, working from top to bottom (see Figure 2-7B). NOTE: Making notes that identify which video inputs

are being connected to each input BNC terminal at the MP168 Bay will be very helpful during the system programming process and when troubleshooting system problems.

VIM-2 to VIM-3 Connections All video input connections to VIM-2/VIM-3 pairs should be made using a quality 75 ohm, RG-59 video cable such as Belden 8241 (or equivalent) with BNC connectors.

VIM-2 and VIM-3 modules are used in dual MP168 bay configurations to transfer video input signals between the lower and the upper bays (see Figure 2-8).

Dual Bay Video Input Connections

Ribbon Cable Connections In dual-bay configurations, half of the system video inputs are connected to bay number one and half of the video inputs are connected to bay number two. A 0.8 meter (30 inch) coax ribbon cable joins each VIM-2/VIM-3 pair between the two bays for signal switches. The appropriate number of coax ribbon cables for the number of VIM-2/VIM-3 pairs is provided with the MP168 System.

The VIM-2 and 3 modules must be connected in pairs, i.e., a VIM-2 in slot E of bay one would connect to the VIM-3 module residing in slot E of bay two (see Figure 2-8). Modules in separate bays joined by ribbon cables are referred to as “Cabled Pairs”.

VIM-4 Modules and Loop Panels (Single Bay) The MP168 VIM-4 module is used in single and dual bay applications. VIM-4 modules are used in conjunction with external Loop Panels to route video signals into, through, and out of the MP168 Bay. Each Video Input Module 4 (VIM-4) has two coaxial cable connectors labeled IN (video from a loop panel) and OUT (video to a suitable video output processing device or to the input of a VIM-4 modules in a dual bay configuration). See Figure 2-9.

Ribbon Cable Connections A loop panel consists of two sections. Each section has input and output connectors for coaxial ribbon cables and 16 BNC connectors for video inputs or video outputs. Ribbon cables between the VIM-4 modules and the Loop Panels must be connected in pairs, i.e., a ribbon cable must connect a Loop Panel output to the VIM-4 module IN terminal and a second ribbon cable must connect the VIM-4 module output to a Loop Panel input as shown in Figure 2-9. The VIM-4 module does not have any BNC terminals for connecting individual video sources.

VIDEO OUTPUT MODULE CONNECTIONS

Video Output Connections The Video Output Module provides system connections to devices that accept video output signals such as monitors and time-lapse recorders. Each module provides six video output BNC connectors labeled OUT (see Figure 2-11B).

All video output connections should be made using a quality 75 ohm, RG-59 video cable such as Belden 8241 (or equivalent) with BNC connectors.

The Video Output Module also provides six video input BNC connectors labeled IN. These connectors provide an inlet for extra video input sources that the user would like to add title information to. Note that any video signals connected to these IN connectors will not be available for switching by the system.

VIDEO OUTPUT MODULE JUMPER SETTINGS

Single Bay Configuration In the MP168 Switching System, each Video Input Module can accept a maximum of twelve video inputs (or channels) but each Video Output module can only output a maximum of six video channels. One additional VOM module can be added to the bay to increase the number of video outputs from six to twelve. In dual VOM applications, six shorting jumpers are used to differentiate between video outputs 1 through 6, and 7 through 12. For the first VOM module in a single bay installation (slot P), the jumper cap is placed on pins 1 and 2 of all six jumpers (see Figure 2-12). The addition of a second VOM module (slot O) requires that the jumper caps on the second module be placed on pins 2 and 3. The shorting jumpers are reached by removing the front cover of the bay and removing the appropriate VOM module from its slot.

Dual Bay Configuration In a dual bay configuration using two VOM modules the jumper caps are arranged in the same fashion as in a single bay configuration. In bay one the first VOM module has the jumper caps arranged across pins 1 and 2 and the jumper caps of the second VOM module are arranged across pins 2 and 3. In bay two the jumper caps for VOM-1 and VOM-2 are set exactly the same as in bay one.

! CAUTION!

Remove power to the entire system before removing any modules from the bay(s)

Figure 2-13 - Dual Bay Communication Line

In dual bay configurations there are two (2) Power Supply Modules, one to provide power to each bay. In order for the two bays to be synchronized with each other and exchange information, a communications line is provided and must be connected between the two bays (see Figure 2-13). This communications line plugs into the RJ-45 jack (labeled ARCNET) situated on the rear panel of each Power Supply Module. The ARCNET port operates as a dedicated RS-485 channel between the two bays. All communications lines between bays should be made using the RJ45 cable (red color) provided with the system (part number 0650-1722-01). If a substitute cable is used, it should be a quality, unshielded, twisted pair, category 5 cable with RJ-45 jack connectors.

! CAUTION!

Do not connect RJ-45 jacks to the telephone network. These RJ-45 cables are intended for connection only as described within this manual.

EXTERNAL SYNCHRONIZER CONNECTION The MP168 Switcher has built in synchronizing circuitry that automatically synchronizes the internal functions of the system to the primary AC input power source. The MP168 can also accept a sync signal from an external signal generator when it is desirable to synchronize the MP168 and any auxiliary devices to a signal other than the primary AC input power (see Figure 2-14). In applications where an external synchronizer is required, the MP168 provides an input BNC connector on the rear panel of the Power Supply Module (see Figure 2-14).

Setting Vertical Phase A vertical phase control on the front of the Power Supply Module allows fine-tuning of the vertical video pulse to reduce the response time between when a switching command is given (via system control device) and when the new picture is displayed on the monitor.

NOTE: technicians familiar with video system characteristics should carry out this adjustment.

When performing the vertical phase adjustment, designate one camera to be the reference camera and make all adjustments with respect to that one camera.

1. Remove the front cover of the MP168 Switcher bay. 2. Locate the vertical phase adjustment potentiometer

on the front panel of the Power Supply Module (see Figure 2-15).

3. Call a camera to a functional monitor. 4. Insert a small flat-head screwdriver into the phase

potentiometer adjustment slot. 5. Push and hold in the phase setup button while

slowly rotating the potentiometer with the screwdriver.

6. Continue rotating the potentiometer until the phase line on the test monitor has moved to the bottom of the monitor screen.

PC to MP168 CPM Connection for S3 The MP168 Central Processing Module (CPM) connects to the COM 1 RS-232 serial port on the PC used with the system. The PC/CPM connection enables the MP168 system administrator to download system setup data from the PC to the system, or to upload data from the system to the PC. The connection is made using a DB-9 to RJ-45 adaptor, and a 7 foot (2.2 m) RJ-45 cable provided with the system. The adaptor’s female DB-9 connector attaches to the COM 1 male DB-9 connector on the PC. The cable has male RJ-45 connectors at either end. One end connects to the female RJ-45 connector on the adaptor. The other end typically connects to Port 8 on the CPM. For connections greater than 7 feet, a breakout box and additional cable can be used for the hookup.

External System Controller Connection The data line IN and OUT connectors permit communication between the MP168 Switcher and external control units (see Figure 2-18). The data line OUT connector can be used in two forms:

1 Direct MP168 Output The system control signals generated by the MP168 CPU are available as output through the DATA LINE OUT port. This output can be connected directly to optional system devices (see Figure 2-18).

2 External Controller Looping Output Input from an external system controller is passive in that it exerts no control functions over the MP168 Switcher. The MP168 is simply serving as a link in a chain. Usually, the external controller input is looped through the MP168 and output to control another device such as a Control Code distributor.

TROUBLESHOOTING This Troubleshooting Guide is designed in two sections to allow the user to quickly identify and resolve a particular problem with the matrix switcher. To speed up troubleshooting, do the following:

• Document exactly what the problem is. By doing this, it becomes easier to locate the appropriate section of this guide. Note any information about the problem as well as the system conditions and events immediately prior to the problem. In the event that the problem is not easily located, this information will be required by service personnel. Details should be as specific as possible and include the following as a minimum:

1. Acquire a copy of any installation diagrams that indicate where all power sources to MP168 and all external devices are being routed to and from. This information should include the locations of any and all circuit breaker panels and other points where power to the system may be interrupted.

2. Acquire a copy of the camera installation worksheet that indicates where all system cameras and other video input devices have been installed, what their designations may be, and any regular or special wiring/cabling notes.

3. Acquire a copy of the installation worksheet that indicates where all system monitors and other video output devices have been installed, what their designations are, and any regular or special wiring/cabling notes.

4. Acquire and become familiar with the operation/service documentation provided with any device that is integrated into the MP168 System. These documents generally contain useful information that can speed the resolution of a problem.

APPENDIX CMP168 Matrix Switcher/Controller System


APPENDIX C



SensorNet Communications With Release 3.0, the MP168 Control Code Module (CCM) supports SensorNet as well as RS-422 and AD Manchester communications.

SensorNet is a two-wire communications protocol that provides improved data transmission speed, surge protection and noise immunity. SensorNet is used by the MP168 system to communicate with SpeedDomes® or DeltaDomes™. Connections can be made directly from the CCM to the domes, or through SensorNet J-Boxes. J-Boxes are available in 1 or 6-position models.

For new installations, AWG 22, unshielded twisted-pair cable is recommended. Maximum cable length is 1 km (3281’). Shielding adds capacitance, causing decreased signal strength as devices are attached and/or cable length increases. When pre-existing wiring makes it necessary to use shielded twisted pair cable, the maximum cable length is reduced. For example, Belden 8760 cable will typically support complete network links of approximately 750 m (2500’).

SpeedDomes and DeltaDomes will operate satisfactorily at signal levels between 5v and 0.3v (peak-to-peak). An operating range of 5v to 1v is recommended.

SensorNet Connection on the MP168 CCM

The CCM plugs into slot N in the rear of the MP168 bay. The SensorNet port is located at the top of the module, directly beneath the yellow dot.

The SensorNet connector contains the six two-wire positions for data connections to SpeedDomes, DeltaDomes and SensorNet J-Boxes. The six positions are labeled N1 through N6 respectively. SensorNet cables do not have a polarity reference, so each of the two-wire cable leads can be connected to either of the two connection points for each N pair.

For appropriate pin positions on SpeedDomes, DeltaDomes and SensorNet J-Boxes, see the manual for the device used.

Attaching to SensorNet

1. Strip 6mm (.25”) of insulation from each of the SensorNet leads and insert them into the appropriate slot pairs on the SensorNet compression connector (the pairs line up with positions N1 through N6 on the rear of the CCM).

2. Tighten the screws on each lead until they are held firmly in position. Do not over-tighten.

3. When all necessary leads are attached, plug the connector into the SensorNet port on the CCM.

For maximum distance, attach the repeater J-Box at a point where the signal level has reached 1-2v (peak-to-peak). This takes advantage of the prior host’s driver capabilities, while providing a strong signal for amplification.

No more than 3 repeaters should be used in series between any two network devices, as this can create signal distortion, and cause operational errors.

Network Topologies SensorNet supports three network link topologies: daisy chain, backbone, and star. Each network link can be wired to apply the topology that best suits the link’s unique requirements.

Daisy Chain Link Guidelines

With a daisy chain network link, a separate cable connects each device to the next device in the chain. This facilitates quick and easy installation.

The daisy chain is a good solution for a temporary network, or where the host and a few devices are located in the same room or area.

Consider using a backbone or star topology when installing large and permanent networks.

T

CCM - T

Devices

T = Terminated

Figure C-3 - Daisy Chain Link

1. Terminate devices at both ends of the daisy chain. Leave all others unterminated.

2. Attach up to 32 devices on each link.

3. Limit combined cable length (from CCM to farthest device) to 1 km (3281’) or less.

C-3


Backbone Link Guidelines

In a backbone network, a single continuous cable connects all devices served by the link. The unbroken cable allows you to install a permanent network that maintains a high level of reliability, even when you must attach, disconnect, or move a device.

Use the backbone topology for large and permanent networks; it is also a good solution when connecting a few devices located in the same general area.

1. Locate the CCM anywhere along the backbone.

2. Terminate devices at both ends of each backbone link. Leave all others unterminated.


4. Limit combined cable length (from CCM to farthest device) up to 1 km (3281’) or less.

5. To attach unterminated devices, strip 1.2 cm (.5”) of insulation from each conductor at the connection point, fold in the middle of the stripped area, and secure in the device’s compression connector.

C-4


Star Link Guidelines

With a star network link, up to four branches connect to a central “hub” location. Devices can attach with a single continuous cable (backbone style) or separate cables (daisy chain style).

A star topology is a good solution when using existing cable. It also allows easy reconfiguration as devices are added or relocated.

3. Limit combined cable length (from host to farthest device) to 1 km (3281’) or less.

4. Whenever possible, attach devices backbone style, following the instructions under Backbone link Guidelines.

Network Checkout To simplify network checkout, attach devices in stages, one J-Box at a time. Attach all devices associated with the first link before starting the second link. After connecting a set of devices, select each one individually from the surveillance system and confirm that the device response is correct. If not, correct the problem before continuing with installation activities.
