NODE INSTALLATION & CONFIGURATION

Physical Description

The RIM-600 Node is housed in a 9.6"w x 1.75"h x 7"d enclosure, which is 1 EIA rack-mount space high.

Front Panel Layout

The front panel contains connections for eight sensor inputs, microphone input, Ethernet port, serial port, and power LED. See figure below:

4 Ethernet Port (10/100BASE-T)

5 Serial Port

6 Power Switch

7 Power LED

Sensor Inputs

The sensor inputs are designed to interface with RIM-600 series sensors (See Chapter 7). The use of RJ-45 jacks for sensor inputs allows the use of existing structured cabling to connect remote sen- sors.

Microphone

The Node unit comes with a built-in microphone. Directly below the built-in mic is a separate jack for connecting an optional condenser microphone to sense audible alarms, such as smoke detectors.

When an external microphone is connected, the internal microphone is disabled.

RJ-45 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Port

This jack is for connecting to your network so that the RIM-600 Node can communicate with the RIM-600 Host and ping selected network servers and/or services. Two LEDs indicate Link Status (left) and Receive Date status (right).

Serial Port

The RS-232 serial port is used to configure network settings. The port is DB9 male DTE and oper- ates at 9600 baud, no parity, and 1 stop bit. A DB9 female–female null modem cable is required to configure network settings.
