C-Bus Network Interface 4 Installation Instructions
C-Bus Network Interface 1.0 Installation Instructions Product Range 5500CN C-Bus Network Interface (with 12 V DC, 500 mA AU plug pack) E5500CN C-Bus Network Interface (no plug pack included) 2.0 • • Important Notes Both Ethernet and C-Bus connections are made via RJ45 sockets. Ensure you make each connection to the correct socket.
C-Bus Network Interface 4.0 Installation Instructions Wiring Instructions The 5500CN and E5500CN are powered by a 12 V AC or DC plug pack (supplied with the 5500CN). Power connection is non-polarised and made via screw terminals. Ethernet and C-Bus connections are made via RJ45 sockets. Ethernet may be connected to a network via a switch or hub, or directly to a PC (using a crossover cable). Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2.
C-Bus Network Interface 5.0 Installation Instructions C-Bus Network Connection Connection to the C-Bus network is made via one of the RJ45 sockets. Use Cat-5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) C-Bus cable, and an appropriately wired RJ45 plug. Pinouts and cable conductor assignments are provided in Figure 3 and Table 1. The RJ45 sockets are internally connected. The Clipsal catalogue number for the C-Bus Cat-5 UTP cable is 5005C305B.

C-Bus Network Interface Installation Instructions 6.0 Status Indicators 6.1 Ethernet The “Ethernet” indicator shows the status of the Ethernet interface. The indicator is orange when the communication link is good (flashing green with active data transfer), and red with a problematic or non-existent link. Refer to Table 2.
C-Bus Network Interface 7.0 Installation Instructions C-Bus System Clock The 5500CN Series C-Bus Network Interface (CNI) incorporates a software selectable C-Bus system clock. The system clock is used to synchronise data communication on a C-Bus network. At least one active C-Bus system clock is required on each C-Bus network for successful communication. No more than three units on a C-Bus network should have their clock enabled, so this option is normally disabled using the C-Bus Toolkit software.
C-Bus Network Interface Installation Instructions 11.0 Megger Testing Important points when megger testing an electrical installation: • • Only megger test when mains cabling is disconnected from C-Bus output units. Do not megger test the C-Bus cable. 12.0 Configuration 12.1 C-Bus Programming The 5500CN Series C-Bus Network Interface (CNI) must be programmed with a unique identification address (Unit Address).
C-Bus Network Interface Installation Instructions The PC must be configured with an IP address; either static or dynamic/automatic (if a DHCP server is connected). If you are using a network/Internet firewall, you may need to disable it temporarily. If you use the telnet or web browser configuration method, you must first use your operating system's ARP utility to assign the CNI with a temporary IP address.
C-Bus Network Interface Installation Instructions Using Telnet to Configure the CNI In the instructions below, substitute cni_ip_addr for the temporary IP address you are using with the CNI. 1) Type the following from a command prompt/terminal session, then press Enter: telnet cni_ip_addr 1 You should get a response something like "Could not connect to host" or "Connection refused".
C-Bus Network Interface Installation Instructions Using a Web Browser to Configure the CNI If your web browser is set to use a proxy server, temporarily change it to access the Internet/network directly. In the instructions below, substitute cni_ip_addr for the temporary IP address you are using with the CNI. 1) Type the following into the Address/URL field of your browser, then press Enter: http://cni_ip_addr:1 You should get a response explaining that the page cannot be displayed.
