  • Page 9: Connecting For Network Routing

    Section 1: Introduction Connecting for network routing Connect the KMD-5551E translator to a network router or network switch and, as needed, to a KMD Tier 2 network. For permanent installations, the router is typically connected to a 24 volt transformer for power.

  • Page 10: Tier 2 Wiring

    If the translator is in the middle of the network segment, set the EOL switch to OFF. Connecting power Power the KMD-5551E translator from a 24 volt power source, either AC or DC, or from a USB connection. The translator begins to operate when a power source is applied. Use the following guidelines when choosing and wiring sources to the translator.
  • Page 11 Connect the ground side of the transformer to the ground terminal . Use a Class 2 transformer of the appropriate size to supply power to the translator. KMC Controls recommends powering the translator from a dedicated transformer. Do not run 24 volt power from within an enclosure to external devices.

  • Page 12: Single-Cable Connection

    Do not run 24 volt power from within an enclosure to external devices. Single-cable connection The single-cable connection method connects the KMD-5551E translator to a computer with a USB cable that supplies both power and communications. The USB port becomes a virtual network interface card (NIC) and establishes a network between the computer and the translator.
