Controller / Keypad Configuration

The CA4 Wall Port jacks are located on the rear of the controller. These RJ-45 ports must be connected to the corresponding jacks on the wall port. Each keypad is then connected to the wall port.

All CAT-5 connections are made with RJ-45 connectors using the T568A Wiring Standard configuration. For a clean installation use the included RJ-45 CAT-5 pass-through cables to connect from the controller wall port jack to the corresponding one on the CA4-WP. Using the same wiring configuration to terminate the ends, route a CAT-5 cable from the wall port to each of the keypads. Cables from the controller to the wall port should not exceed 6 feet (2m).

The maximum recommended CAT-5 cable length is 240 feet (73.2m) between the wall port and the keypad.

Note: All four CAT-5 cables must be connected between the controller and wall port for proper operation.

Caution: Cables between the wall port and the controller must match numerically (#1 on Controller to #1 on Wall Port, etc.). Swapping cables to different ports can damage the equipment.
