    Rear panel connections The connections made at the rear of the chassis are made according to whether the unit is a RCU100 1:1 or an RCU200 1:2 system. With an RCU100 some of the connectors are not used and are blanked. The RCU connectors differ from previous models and all connectors are now SMA type instead of a mixture.
  • Page 6: Power Connections

    GROUND Not used Not used If the RCU100 1:1 or an RCU200 1:2 has been purchased with Ethernet, there will be a RJ45 connector on the rear of the unit. POWER CONNECTIONS The unit contains a redundant linear power supply arrangement. The voltage input can be set on the input sockets to the voltage required (nominally 120 volts or 230 volts) by removing the voltage selector and re- positioning.

  • Page 16: Ethernet Control

    ETHERNET CONTROL As mentioned previously, if the RCU100/200 Redundancy control system units have been fitted with the Ethernet option the unit can be controlled via its in built web page, TCP or SNMP. Due to a lack of front panel on these units, it is not possible to display the IP address and other Ethernet settings to the user easily.
  • Page 17 The units can be controlled via SNMP, the MIBS necessary for this are available from the Peak Communications website. Please refer to the Peak-Agents.MIB file, as this shows which of the MIBS available is used for the unit in question. Issue 3.15 RCU100 and RCU200 redundancy control units Page 17...
