8.3.1 Connecting the EMD
The Environmental Monitoring Sensor (EMD) connects to any serial port on the Console Server via
a special EMD Adapter and standard CAT5 cable. The EMD is powered over this serial connection
and communicates using a custom handshake protocol. It is not an RS232 device and should not
be connected without the adapter:
Plug the RJ plug on the EMD Adapter (model B090-EMD-
ADP) into RJ45 Port on the EMD (model B090-EMD).
Then connect the Console Server serial port to the RJ45
port of the EMD Adapter using the provided UTP cable.
If the 6 foot (2 meter) UTP cable provided with the EMD
is not long enough it can be replaced with a standard
Cat5 UTP cable up to 33 feet (10meters) in length (Tripp
Lite N002 series cables)
Screw the bare wires on any smoke detector, water
detector, vibration sensor, open-door sensor or general
purpose open/close status sensors into the terminals on
the EMD:
o B090-WLS Console Server Water Leak Sensor
o B090-DCS Console Server Door Contact Sensor
o B090-VS Console Server Vibration Sensor
o B090-SD-110 Console Server Smoke Detector - 110V
o B090-SD-220 Console Server Smoke Detector - 220V
The EMD can be used only with a Console Server and cannot be connected to standard RS232
serial ports on other appliances.
Select Environmental as the Device Type in the Serial & Network: Serial Port menu for the port
to which the EMD is to be attached. No particular Common Settings are required.
Click Apply
Select the Serial & Network: Environmental menu. This will display all the EMD connections
that have already been configured
