LAN connector and LEDs — An Ethernet connection can be

 

used on an ongoing basis to monitor and control the PC1 (and

 

the output device connected to it).

Wiring the Local Area Network (LAN) port

•

For 10Base-T (10 Mbps) networks, use a Category 3 or

 

better cable.

•RJ-45 port — Plug a patch cable into this RJ-45 female socket, and connect the other end to a network switch, hub, router, or PC. (See "Wiring the Local Area Network (LAN) port," on the next page, for information on cable types to use.)

E

IR port — Connect an IR emitter to pins 3 (S, for signal) and

 

4 (G, for ground) of this shared captive screw connector to

 

enable infrared remote control of the output device. To enable

 

IR control, you must load an Extron IR driver for your output

 

device to the PC1 (via Global Configurator).

F

Contact closure Input port — Connect a contact closure device

 

to pins 1 (IN, for input) and 2 (

 

, for ground) of this shared

 

 

 

 

 

captive screw connector to enable the PC1 to detect a closed

 

circuit between an input and ground.

G

Output power receptacle — Connect the power cord from an

 

output device to this three-prong female Edison (IPL T PC1) or

IEC (IPL T PC1i) power output receptacle.

Connecting the Hardware

Connect the cables to the rear panel as follows:

1.

Connect an IEC power cord from the PC1 rear panel male

 

IEC receptacle to a wall outlet. The green Power LED

 

lights and remains lit.

2.

Plug the Ethernet cable from your network into the LAN

 

port on the rear panel. The Link LED lights green.

3.

Plug the power cord of the device to be controlled into the

 

output receptacle on the back panel of the PC1.

4.

If desired, connect the output device to the RS-232 COM

 

port.

5.

If desired, connect an IR emitter to the IR port to control an

 

output device.

6.

If desired, connect a contact switch to the contact closure

 

input port.
