5.3.4Connecting the network

Connect the network controller to the Praesideo system using the system bus connectors and LBB4416 network cables. Both connectors are interchangeable.

5.3.5Connecting a PC

5.3.5.1Introduction

The network controller has one RJ45 socket to interface with the Praesideo configuration PC. Using the configuration PC, the Praesideo system can be configured and diagnosed. Basically, there are two ways to connect the configuration PC to the network controller: directly (see section 5.3.5.3) or via a network (see section 5.3.5.4).

5.3.5.2 Requirements

The configuration PC must meet the following minimum requirements:

•Operating system:

Microsoft® Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or Microsoft® Windows Vista or

Microsoft® Windows 7

•Network connection: 100 base-T

•1 GB RAM

•Web browser installed, such as Internet Explorer of Firefox

5.3.5.3Direct connection

If the configuration PC must be connected directly to the network controller, a crossover cable (Cat-5 cable) must be used (see figure 5.5).

	(male)		(male)
	TX+	1	1	TX+
	TX-	2	2	TX-

Note

The maximum length of a crossover-cable is 100 m.

5.3.5.4Via a network

If the configuration PC must be connected to the network controller via a network, standard cables must be used to connect both the network controller and the configuration PC to the network.

Caution

Do not connect the network controller and configuration PC to any network without consulting the network administrator.

5.3.6Connecting audio inputs

The network controller has 4 audio inputs to interface with analog audio sources. Each audio input has two connectors on the rear of the network controller; one XLR connector (for balanced signals) and one double cinch connector (for unbalanced signals). The network controllers mixes stereo signals connected to the cinch connectors of the same audio input into one single mono signal.

The analog audio can be a line source as well as a microphone. See table 5.2 for an overview of the input types supported by each of the inputs.

Note

The microphone inputs should not be used to connect emergency microphones. These inputs do not provide microphone connection supervision.

table 5.2: Audio input types

Audio Input	Microphone	Line
	(XLR only)
1	Yes	Yes
2	Yes	Yes
3	No	Yes
4	No	Yes

Note

The audio inputs can handle electret microphones as well as dynamic microphones, since the network controller can generate the phantom supply for electret microphones.
