Chapter 3 Hardware Overview

The ALM LED shows an alert.

The Signal slot can send an external alarm on to another device. By daisy- chaining the signal sensor cables from one Switch to another ZyXEL switch which supports this feature, the external alarm alert (but not the system alarm) is received on each Switch.

The Switch can be configured to send an SNMP trap to the SNMP server. See Section 45.3 on page 396 for more information on using SNMP.

The Switch can be configured to create an error log of the alarm. See Section 47.1 on page 423 for more information on using the system log.

3.1.3.1Connecting a Sensor to the Signal Slot

This section shows you how to connect an external sensor device to the Switch.

1Use a connector to connect wires of the correct gauge to the sensor’s signal output pins. See Chapter 55 on page 455 for the wire specifications. Check the sensor’s documentation to identify its two signal output pins.

2Connect these two wires to any one of the following pairs of signal input pins on the Switch’s Signal connector--(4,5) (6,7) (8,9) (10,11). The pin numbers run from the right side of the connector to the left.

2a Connect each of the sensor’s two signal output wires to the Signal connector by depressing the spring clip corresponding to the pin you are connecting to.

2b Insert the wire and release the spring clip.

2c Repeat the process for the sensor’s other signal output wire. A total of four

sensors may be connected to the Signal connector in this way using the remaining signal input pins.
