3.0 Central Node
3.1 Method of Operation
The CentralNode produces the interface between the PC and the network. One
CentralNode is needed per network.
☺ To use a CentralNode in combination with LSM, please contact your trade
partner or the manufacturer.
The CentralNode is connected to a free serial interface (e.g., COM1) on the PC. The
ConfigDevice (or SmartCD) needed for programming transponders is connected to a
different free interface on the PC (e.g., COM2). If only one interface is available, you
can alternately connect the ConfigDevice (or SmartCD) and the CentralNode,
depending on which you need. To do this, you must specify the device currently being
used in the locking plan software. Insert the connection cable, which is delivered with
the system, to the RJ-45 socket of the CentralNode.
The red and blue lines on this cable are available for connection to the in-house
network cable; the black line on the cable is for grounding. In order to guarantee
flawless functioning of the network, the black line must be connected to the LPI-10's
potential compensation. The cable's screening can be used for grounding.
☺ The CentralNode does not need a supply voltage. This is already provided
by the LPI-10 over the network cable.
