The green LINK LED provides LAN status information. If the LED is on, the LAN port is properly con- nected and synchronized to a LAN. The yellow TX (transmit) LED blinks each time information is trans- mitted. The LED does not blink when information is received.

The RS-232 control terminal lets you connect to the serial port of a PC for simple configuration and/or operation of management functions. The interface features the full suite of RS-232 flow control signals.

The alarm I/O port lets you directly connect external signaling devices (for example, contacts). Also, the relay output facilitates switching of peripheral devices (lights or electric door openers, for example).

NOTE: Use only the supplied AC plug power adapter. If the adapter, the cable, or the connector show any sign of damage, do not use the power adapter. Send it in for repair or replacement. Never try to use any power adapter except the supplied one.

See the Hardware Installation section for information on interfacing peripherals to the unit.
