Equipment Description
The following devices and peripherals are available to
support integrated switching system and video recorder
control (see Drawing 1, page 3 for details).
AD100XA Recorder Controller
The AD100XA is the central processor of a recorder
interface network. A single AD100XA is required for an
entire network. The front side of the AD100XA has a
DB9F connector for RS232 communication. Note: the
connector to the right of the DB9F is not used. The rear
side has a detachable four-position screw terminal
connector that accommodates two power terminals and
A and B terminals for RS485 communication.
Additionally, the rear side has an infrared receive data
sensor for learning IR commands. The top of the
AD100XA contains LEDs for Status, Communications,
and Learn IR activity. Each recorder controller is
supplied with a transformer to power the unit.
The recorder controller enables the programming of the
network's
AD100IR16
Communication between the controller and interface
modules is enabled through the RS485 protocol. Up to
128 interface modules can be connected to the
controller in a daisy chain configuration. Note: for each
group of 24 interface modules, an RS485 Repeater
available from other manufacturers is required to drive
the signal to additional units.
AD100IR16 IR Interface Module
The IR Interface Module transmits commands for up to
16 IR-controlled video recorders, each of which can be
a different make and model of recorder.
The front side of the AD100IR16 contains mini-plug
connectors labeled IR-1 through IR-9. Note: the mini-
plug connector to the left of IR-1 is not used.
The rear side contains connectors labeled IR-10 through
IR-16. The mini-plug connectors are connected to video
recorders via an IR emitter cable. The rear side of the
AD100IR16 also contains a detachable, four-position
screw terminal connector that accommodates two power
terminals and A and B terminals for RS485
communications.
The right side of the AD100IR16 contains a ⅜"
diameter hole giving access to a push button Addressing
Switch. The top of the AD100IR16 contains LEDs for
Power and Communications indications.
When used in concert with the recorder controller and
utility software, the IR interface module can control any
recorder having IR capability.
Up to 2048 IR video recorders can be controlled on the
network. Each IR interface module is supplied with a
transformer to power the unit.

RIU Recorder Interface Utility
In order to implement the programming of the IR
Interface Modules, each Recorder Controller is supplied
with a diskette containing the Recorder Interface Utility
(RIU) software.
The RIU utility sets the addresses of the interface
modules, and maps the interface modules to specific
video recorders. Four default recorders featuring widely
used makes and models are provided in the mapping
software. Additionally, the utility enables the recorder
controller to learn a set of basic IR commands for video
recorders other than the default models.
Once the recorder controller and interface modules have
been programmed using the RIU utility and an IBM
compatible PC, the recorder controller is then connected
to the Peripheral Interface Port (PIP) of the AD1024
CPU. When appropriately configured, the PIP will
transmit recorder control commands to the system
recorders.
For information on configuring the AD1024 Peripheral
Interface Port, refer to AD1024 S3 System Setup
Software Installation & Operating Manual, PN 8000-
1779-01, or AD1024 CPU System Programming &
Operating Instructions, PN 8000-1777-01.
AD100IRE IR Emitter Cable
The IR emitter cable connects the IR interface module
mini-plug connectors to the network's IR recorders. The
3.5 mm mini-plug connects to the interface module. The
plastic shell on the cable's other end adheres to the IR
sensor on the front of the recorder.
Note: Care must be taken when installing the
AD100IRE to avoid damage or disconnection of the
cable.
Depending
on
management brackets can be used for appropriate
installation of AD100IRE cables.
Initial Hookup
AD100 series modules can be wall, rack, or desktop
mounted using the supplied Velcro strip.
1.
Connect the A and B communications terminals of
the AD100XA and all AD100IR16 modules in a
daisy chain configuration. (see Drawing 2, Page 5)
Use twisted pair, 22 AWG wire, Belden 8442 or
88442 (Plenum), or equivalents. Ensure consistency
in terminal to terminal connections ("A" terminals
should connect only to "A" terminals. "B"
terminals should connect only to "B" terminals.
Never cross-connect power and communication
terminals).
