Step 7: Network Block Selection

A CAEN-BLOCK, required in each enclosure that does not contain a PAC2
processor. The CAEN-BLOCK provides module connection and Cresnet
communications.
The unit has a left and right connector for communication with the CLX-Series
modules. Refer to CAEN Block Installation Guide (Doc. 5994) for additional
information.
The four passive Cresnet ports provide a convenient way to connect devices and
enclosures together. The power for each Cresnet port comes from the incoming
Cresnet line. Verify that the incoming Cresnet line has sufficient power for all
connected devices.
Two OVERRIDE ports are activated from dry closure switches. When a switch
contact closure is received between the "G" connection and the "L" or "R"
connections, the respective left or right column of modules will set the lights to the
programmed override state.
