RIM-600 Manual

an RJ-45 interconnect cable to connect the RIM-600 Node to the patch panel in room A, and an RJ- 45 interconnect cable from the wall jack in room B to the sensor.

The sensor produces an analog signal which must connect directly to the Host or Node. The path from the sensor to the RIM-600 unit CANNOT pass through a network Hub or Switch.

Network Configuration

The RIM-600 Node has a serial port on the front panel which is used to configure network settings and security options. A dumb terminal or terminal emulation software is required to get online and set up the configuration. The port is male DTE, so a DB9 female–female null modem cable will be required. Terminal communication settings must be set to:

n 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control

To get online with the RIM-600 Node, connect your terminal to the serial port and press <RETURN>. A menu will appear which will guide you through the setup.
