Interface connections

Plug in the AC to DC power adapter provided with the hub.

Plug in the Ethernet patch lead to connect to the LAN or PC. See ‘Connecting

the hub to the PC using Windows XP’ (page 41).

If an external alarm is to be activated from the hub, connect a pair of wires from

the alarm output shown in the interface connections diagram. The alarm output

is a simple make/break contact and can be used to operate a customer

provided alarm relay. This is not designed to provide a direct contact for AC

mains operated equipment.

Connect the DB9 port A connections to the customer's paging system if

required. The connection cable should be as specified by the paging system.

A PPP connection can be made after the modem has been set up via port B.

See ‘Installing the PPP modem’ (page 31) for further details.
