Network Access - Redback A 4505C Operating Manual

Redback® A 4505C Lockdown Timer with Network Access

3.0 NETWORK ACCESS

The Redback® A 4505C has been upgraded from previous versions to now include access via a network connection. The
unit is connected with the addition of the Redback® A 4498 Network Connection Pack. With the upgraded PC software
all the event timing and audio file selection can be adjusted remotely.
Note: Audio files cannot be transferred via this connection. All audio files must be loaded onto the supplied Micro SD card
via the PC software. These files are stored in a Library on the SD card and can then be selected remotely.
Figure 3.1 below demonstrates how to connect the timer to a network via the Redback® A 4498 Connection Pack. The
pack includes a serial to ethernet converter, a proprietry adaptor board, a DC power lead and a short CAT6 lead for con-
nection between the A 4505C and the Adaptor board. The Serial to Ethernet Converter requires some configuration which
is outlined in the A 4498 instruction manual.
Once the Serial To Ethernet Converter setup is complete and all required connections made, the unit should now be acces-
sible via the PC software. Refer to the supplied Software Programming Guide for more information.
Note: An IT administrator or someone experienced with network protocols wil be required to setup the net-
work access.
