Connections and Wiring
LAN/PoE Port (RJ45)
The LAN/PoE (RJ45) port on the rear panel provides 10/100 BaseT network connectivity. This port is
common to all EXB Modules. Use standard Cat5/6/6E ethernet cable to connect the EXB Module to the LAN.
Refer to the LAN/PoE Port section on page 7 for the pinout configuration for this port.
Port 1 (I/O 1-8)
The I/O Connector on the rear panel is an 10-pin 3.5mm captive-wire connector that provides eight I/O
contacts (1-8) as well as PWR and GND.
When used for voltage inputs, the I/O port detects a low signal (0 - 1.5 VDC) as a Push, and a high
signal (3.3 - 5 VDC) as a Release.
Although a high signal is defined as 3.3 - 5 VDC, this port can handle up to 12V without harm.
When used for outputs, the I/O port acts as a switch to GND and is rated for 200mA @ 12 VDC.

The I/Os on this Module are not dry closure; they are electronic switches that float at
3V when Off. Therefore, they should not be expected to work in situations that require
true dry contact (or dry closure). The I/Os do work with AMX PC1, PC2, UPC20 and
UPC20+.
