If high quality cable is used, the Juneau can support zones 300 feet
away.
RS-232 Serial
The serial port on the rear panel is labeled "RS-232". It is wired as
a "DCE" device, which means it should be connected to a normal
PCs RS-232 port with a straight through cable. Connection to most
control systems should be with a straight through type serial cable,
such as the cable provided with the matrix switch.
For the command protocols, please refer to the manual entitled
"Integrator's Guide to Serial Protocols".
USB
If you plan to use the USB communication feature of the matrix
switch, connect the USB cable to the PC's USB port (flat end), and
the other end (square end) to the matrix switch.
Optionally you may choose to connect this cable later when you
are prepared to install the driver CD-ROM. Connecting the cable
will activate MS Windows plug and play wizard. On disconnect
and reboots, MS Windows will remember what COM port this
device was assigned.
Rear Panel IR
The rear panel connector labeled "IR" is for direct connection to a
infrared control system. It is a 3.5mm 2 pin jack, and accepts
unmodulated IR. It is polarity insensitive, however normally the
'tip' is the active signal, and the 'sleeve' is the ground.
Note: Some IR repeater systems are designed to work only with
their own IR blasters. Many integrators will cut these blaster cables
and add a 3.5mm plug on the end. In some cases this will work
fine, however some low end IR repeater systems will have too
much noise in their signal and can prevent signals from being
properly decoded.
