WIRING

The six keypad RJ45 ports can be used for

connecting KPC 2.8 touchpanels using a

maximum of 100 metres of CAT-5 cable. The

port connections are freely interchangeable.

These ports cannot be used with the AX-KPB

and are not designed for connecting to an

Ethernet network.

The four RS232 DB9 ports are used for

connecting RS232 controlled equipment. The

pin allocations follow the standard for male

connectors, where pin 2 is R4 receive, pin 3 is

R4 transmit and pin 5 is ground.

Standard single IR emitters are plugged into

the IR ports and fixed to the IR window of the

controlled equipment. The emitter current for

each port can be increased by turning the

potentiometers anti-clockwise.

The paging output is active when the

microphone on a KPC 2.8 is used. This is

connected to an input of an amplifier (typically

source 8 on a 451/452AV or MZA-4.7). The

potentiometer can be turned clockwise for

increased gain.

The two RJ25 ports are used for daisy

chaining multiple routers. This allows the

creation of a matrix of more than six KPC 2.8s

and/or more than four RS232/IR controlled

devices. When two or more routers are

chained, the RS232 and IR port numbering is

modified so that the first router is numbered

1-4, the second is 5-8, the third 9-12, etc. The

"OUT" connector of the first router is

connected to the "IN" connector of the second

router. If a third router is used, the "OUT"

connector of the second router is connected

to the "IN" connector of the third router and

so on for a total of up to six routers. The "IN"

connector of the first router and the "OUT"

connector of the last router is NOT used. The

leads connected to the expansion ports shall

not exceed one metre in length.

The green Axium port connector connects to

an Axium 451/452AV or Integra MZA-4.7

amplifier or amplifier stack. 12VDC is provided

by the amplifier to power the R4. If multiple

routers are used, only the first one can be

connected to the Axium port and thus

need their own power supplies. Also if a stack

of amplifiers is used, there can still be only

one link between the amplifier stack and the

routers using the Axium port on the first

router.

When not using an Axium 451/452AV or

Integra MZA-4.7 amplifier or if a higher supply

voltage is required, a 12 – 18 VDC centre

positive plug pack power supply is used to

power the R4.

The Ethernet connector located between the

RS232 and the expansion ports can be used

for providing network and internet access to

the R4 and connected KPC 2.8 touchpanels.

The network must be DHCP capable unless a

static IP address is configured. The R4

automatically fetches the current time and

date if the network has internet access. If

multiple R4 routers are used, each R4 needs

an Ethernet connection if network or internet

features are used.

The USB connector is only used in

combination with the R4 Manager program

(see below).

CONFIGURATION

The default factory settings are to use DHCP

and to synchronise the real time clock with

time.nist.gov if an Ethernet connection is

used. The R4 Manager program included in

the Axium Software Suite available from

http://www.axium.co.nz/ is required should

other settings be required. The R4 Manager

also offers diagnostic and firmware update

functionality. Please see the documentation in

the Axium Software Suite for more

information.

TROUBLESHOOTING

No control of any equipment

Check the power LED. Check power

•

supply if not lit.

Check heartbeat LED. If not flashing try

•

powering the unit off and back on again.

If using a single router ensure that the

•

"IN" and "OUT" ports are not used.

Ensure the correct setting is used in AKM

•

under "Settings" - "Serial device" in the

KPC 2.8 configuration. Use either "Auto

detect" or "AX-R4 Router".

If using a chain of routers, ensure that

•

the chain has a definitive beginning and

end and that no loop exists.

No control of specific equipment (RS232

and IR)

Ensure that the RS232 and IR port

•

connections correspond to the ports

assigned in AKM when configuring the

KPC 2.8.

•

Ensure that the correct pins for receive

and transmit on the RS232 connection

are used.

•

Some RS232 devices allow the baud rate

and other parameters to be adjusted.

Ensure that the settings required by the

applet are used.

If using a chain of routers ensure that

•

the port assignment rules have been

correctly understood and applied.

Ensure that the equipment is working

•

correctly and that all the connections

and cables are sound.

No control of specific equipment

(Ethernet)

If using an IP address, ensure that the

•

address of the equipment is statically

assigned and corresponds to the address

assigned in AKM when configuring the
