Connect Sensors and Sensor Pods to A-Link Ports

Connect Sensors and Sensor Pods to A-Link Ports

You can cascade up to a combined total of two NetBotz Rack Sensor Pod 150s (NBPD0150) and NetBotz Room Sensor Pod 155s (NBPD0155) and up to a combined total of eight Temperature Sensors with Digital Display (AP9520T) and Temperature/Humidity Sensors with Digital Display (AP9520TH). You cannot cascade appliances. Use one appliance per system. A-Link is an APC proprietary CAN (Controller Area Network) bus. Devices compatible with A-Link are not Ethernet devices and cannot coexist on an Ethernet bus with other networking devices, such as hubs and switches.

Before performing this procedure, follow the installation instructions provided with the devices you are cascading.

1.Connect sensors and sensor pods to the appliance as shown.

–Use CAT-5 (or equivalent) Ethernet patch

cables (.

Caution: Do not use crossover cables.

–Connect to in and out ports as shown.

–The maximum combined length of all A-Link cables must not exceed 1000 m (3,280 ft).

2.Plug an A-Link terminator into the unused A-Link port ().
