Preparing Your Site for Installation
AC Power
•The system is designed for connection to TN power systems. A TN power system is a power
distribution system with one point connected directly to earth (ground). The exposed conductive
parts of the installation are connected to that point by protective earth conductors.
•Ensure that the plug-socket combination is accessible at all times, because it serves as the main
disconnecting device.
The IE2100 Series has the following power requirements:
•Universal input: 100-127/200-240 VAC
•Frequency: 50-60HZ
•Maximum power: 65 watts
Warning
This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Make
surethat a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. and 240 VAC,10A international
are used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
Warning
The device is designed to work with TN power systems.
Cabling
Use the cables in the accessory kit to connect the IE2100 Series console port to a console or computer
that is running a console program. Inaddition to the console cable, you must supply your own standard
Ethernetcable to connect the IE2100 Series to your network. This section details the pinout information
forthese cables, so that you can purchase the correct cable for your network connection, and replace the
console cable and adapters if that becomes necessary.
A structured wiring system providesa standardized way to wire a building for all types of networks for
theIE2100 Series appliance to be installed. The main distribution frame links all the building’sinterior
wiring and provides an interface connection to circuits coming from outside sources such as the local
telephone company. Wiring hubs (peripherals for cabling installations) provide the connection logic
unique to Fast Ethernet cables that the IE2100 Series uses. Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper wire
is used to connect the IE2100 Series and distributes the network connections to wall jacks near each
piece of network equipment.
Warning
The ports labeled “10BaseT”, “100BaseTX”, and “10/100” are safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits. Avoid connecting these
circuits to telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.

Ethernet Standards

To connect the IE2100 Series to your network, you must use one of the following Fast Ethernet cables:
•An RJ-45 to RJ-45 straight-through cable to connect the IE2100 Series to a hub
•An RJ-45 to RJ-45 crossover cable to connect the IE2100 Series to another device
