1. MAKE SURE THAT ALL SWITCHES IN THE DISTRIBUTION PANEL ARE OFF!
2. Use Category-5 wire to connect the main communication terminals on the Distribution Panel with the “Flying Leads” of the
protocol adapter (see DIAGRAM 6).
3. Connect the RS-232 port of the protocol adapter to the computer or automation system. A 6 ft. flat cable with RJ-11
connectors, and an RJ-11 to DB9 transition connector are provided with the protocol adapter.
Some computers use 25-pin connectors on serial ports, which requires a DB25 connector. A DB9 connector fits a 9-pin
port. DB9 to DB25 transitions are available at most computer retail stores.
4. Power up the Protocol Adapter with the plug-in transformer provided. The “Power” LED on the Protocol Adapter along with
the “Enable” LEDs should light up when power is applied.
