IPLINK INSTALLA-
TION
4.1.
Mounting Instructions
Open the latch and lift the cover. Remove
the black caps located on each of the four
mounting holes. Mount the enclosure on the
wall using four screws. Be sure the electrical
knockouts are at the bottom of the enclosure
in order to prevent water from entering the
controller. Insert the screws in the mounting
holes and tighten. Fasten the four black caps
provided with the controller onto the four
mounting holes.
The enclosure must be mounted in a location
that will allow the cover to be completely
opened right up against the wall.
4.2.
Communication Cable
The communication cable between the
controllers must be a twisted pair shielded
cable. The maximum length of the cable is
10,000ft (3,000m) and the recommended
wire diameter is 18AWG (1.0mm).
When extending a wire, solder all
connections.
Never run low voltage cables paral-
lel to high voltage wires to prevent
interference.
Cables must cross power cables at
a 90° angle. If this is not possible,
leave at least a 3-feet (11m) dis-
tance between the cables to avoid
interference.

Connecting the IPLink
Modules
The IPLink is a module that creates a bridge
between the controllers and the antennas.
It transforms the controller signals (RS-485)
into antenna-compatible Ethernet signals
(TCP-IP).
Also refer to the wiring diagram at
the end of this manual to connect
your IPLink module.
In a wireless application,an IPLink module
must be located in each building that uses
an antenna, except for the building where the
A-BOX is located.
Although IPLink modules are mostly used
in wireless applications, they can also be
installed in an existing wired application that
uses Ethernet cables.
To enable the signal conversion, at least two
communication cards must be connected in
each IPLink module (see following sections).
