Setting up the SDC 8200 system

Interconnecting the SDC 8200 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 con-
trolled.
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 20 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 cen-
tral unit for the first time” on page 27.
Interconnecting several central units in master/slave mode
(SDC 8200 CU central units only)
You can only interconnect SDC 8200 CU central units. The length of the sys-
tem cables between the SDC 8200 CU central units must not exceed 10 m.
If you wish to interconnect several SDC 8200 CU central units, we recom-
mend mounting the central units into a rack.
To interconnect several SDC 8200 CU 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 “mas-
ter” 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 Ƹ socket of the
first “slave” to the SLAVE IN ¹ socket of the following “slave”, and so
on.
