60 Encore — Installation and Service Manual
Section 2 — Installation
The customer supplied cabling from the Encore Control frame to the device
is not specified but here are a few guidelines:
• Use the shortest cabling practical for the installation,
• When using RJ-45 to D type serial adaptors, put the adaptor as close to
the device as possible, ideally connect the adaptor to the device, and
• Use Cat 5e Ethernet patch (pin-to-pin) type cabling with RJ-45 connec-
tors from the Encore Control frame to either the device or the adaptor
on the device.
Figure 36. Redundant Cabling Encore Frame 6101000xx
Figure 37 shows redundant cabling using an Encore frame 6100884xx.
There is a connection from SIO Port 5 on the Encore frame from the Con-
troller in Slot 1 to a serial port on the controlled device. There is another
connection from
SIO Port 5 on the Encore frame from the Controller in Slot 2
to a separate serial port on the controlled device.
The RJ-45 serial connectors on this frame use pinouts that do not conform
to off the shelf Cat 5e Ethernet cable pinouts. The crossover cables
174821600 available in Kit # are custom designed to change the pinouts
from the nonconforming (black connector end of the cable) pinouts at the
Encore Control frame to conforming pinouts (ivory connector end of the
cable.
The length of the cables (20.32 cm, 8 in.)provided is the maximum length
supported for cabling from the Encore Control frame to a conforming RJ-45
coupler (female-to-female pass-though) connector.
