To create a G-Link network

1.Insert a G-Link terminator (provided) in the G-Link In connector of the first unit in the network.

2.Connect the RJ-45 jumper cable (or Cat. 5 twisted-pair cable) to the G-Link Out connector of the first unit and to the G-Link In connector of the second unit. Continue connecting units in the same fashion.

3.Plug the G-Link terminator in the G-Link Out connector on the last unit to complete the network connections.

Device IDs

Once your physical G-Link network is established (and if you have more than one AP unit at a site), you need to specify unique device ID numbers for each AP800 on the network. As shipped from the factory, all AP800 units default as device ID “0”. Set device ID numbers for each unit at your site by manipulating the front-panel LCD.

To set the device ID

1.Press the System button, then scroll to Device ID.

2.Press Enter, then scroll through the eight (0–7) options.

3.Press Enter to select the appropriate device ID. Repeat this process for each AP product on the G-Link network.

If the same Device ID is assigned to more than one unit of the same type on the G-Link network, Meter LED “+12” will flash red and Meter LED “0”, “-4”, “-30”, and Mic 4 will flash green on the affected units. To correct the problem, change the device ID on one of the units.
