Overview
Thank you purchasing your American Fibertek CX-6p-PoE. Please take a few minutes to
read these installation instructions in order to obtain maximum performance from this
product.
The AFI V’NES (Video Network Enterprise Solution) CX-6p-PoE is a 6 port IEEE 802.3
switch which also provides support for environmental monitors. There are 4 ports at
10/100 Base-TX and 2 SFP ports at 1000 Base-X. The SFP ports accept a variety of
SFP optics as well as copper SFP. The 10/100 Base-TX ports provide PoE power at
both IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at up to a maximum of 60 watts over an extended
temperature range of -20C to +70C.
The CX-6p-PoE also accommodates serial data and contact I/O signals to be made
accessible on and linked over a network, with CX-6p-PoE devices acting as transparent
bridges to link together customer equipment. This permits contact closure signals –
such as door opening sensors, alarm buttons, or motion detectors – to be linked to
remote alarm annunciation, or serial data sources such as key pads or card registers to
send data to a remote monitoring system. CX-6p-PoE devices can be linked together
over a standard Ethernet connection, making it possible to use a pre-existing LAN or the
Internet for device communication.
There are also 2 USB probe ports which support American Fibertek P-TAH and P-VHF
environmental probes. The P-TAH probe monitors temperature, airflow, and humidity.
The P-VFP probe monitors voltage, frequency, and ac voltage.

Connecting the Hardware
Connecting power
Use the supplied AC line cord to connect the CX-6p-PoE to a 90-260VAC power line by
plugging one end of the cord into the polarized 3 pin socket on the rear of the CX-6p-
PoE, and the other end into an available 3 pin grounded power outlet.
Connecting to the network
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the any of ports 1-4 on the front of the CX-6p-
PoE and the other end to the Ethernet network.
Connecting a serial device
To connect the CX-6p-PoE to a RS232 serial device, connect a serial cable from the
serial port on the rear of the CX-6p-PoE to the serial device. The CX-6p-PoE RS232 is
configured as a DTE device.
9
Connecting contacts
The CX-6p-PoE has a 20-pin connector for 4 alarm inputs and 4 aux contact outputs.
Contact connector – rear view
Each connector point on the block has a tab which is pressed in to insert / release the
wire into the adjacent opening. To make a connection, strip ¼” from the end of a wire,
then while pressing on the small orange tab adjacent insert the wire into the hole. When
the tab is released the wire will be securely held in the hole. To remove the wire, press
the tab again and pull the wire out.
Connecting an alarm input
The 4 alarm input connections are all located on the same terminal block, as indicated
by the above diagram. Each alarm input is a pair of connections which are intended to
be connected to external user equipment.
These terminals are intended to be connected to customer equipment which will make or
break a connection between the two terminals, such as a door open switch or motion
detector contact output. It can be designated through the configuration web page if an
alarm condition will correspond to the connection being made or the connection being
broken.
To connect an alarm source such as a door switch or motion detector to the CX-6p-PoE,
use two wires, 16-28 AWG in size. Strip about ¼” of the insulation from the end of the
wires before inserting them into the terminal block. While pressing in the small orange
tab adjacent insert the wire into the hole. When the tab is released the wire will be held
securely.
Note: the electrical connection to the alarm inputs are to be connected only to isolated
contact closure devices, and must not be directly connected to any external power or
ground source. Directly connecting either terminal of the alarm input to any voltage
source or external ground may damage the CX-6p-PoE.
Connecting a supervised contact
In supervised contact mode a 1K resistor is connected in series with the contact closure.
This resistor should be located at or close to the contact device, so that short circuits
across the contact lines will be detected. A valid contact closure will be registered only
when the resistance across the contact input lines is measured to be nominally 1K ohm.
10
Connecting an aux output
Each contact output is made through three connections on the contact block. The
connections for each aux contact output are arranged in four groups of three terminals,
one group for each aux contact output. In each group the terminal on the left (looking at
the back of the unit) is the Common terminal on the form C. This terminal is labeled ‘C’.
The center terminal (labeled ‘NC’) is the Normally Closed contact, and the terminal on
the right (labeled ‘NO’) is the Normally Open contact.
To connect an external device to an aux contact out on the CX-6p-PoE, use two wires,
16-24 AWG in size. Strip about ¼” of the insulation from the end of the wires before
inserting them into the terminal block. While pressing in the small orange tab adjacent
insert the wire into the hole. When the tab is released the wire will be held securely.
Aux Contact Out
When an output is not active, the Common terminal will be electrically connected inside
the CX-6p-PoE to the Normally Closed terminal. When the output becomes active, the
connection between the Common terminal and the Normally Closed terminal will be
broken, and a connection will then be made inside the CX-6p-PoE between the C
terminal and the Normally Open terminal.
The Aux Output terminals are electrically isolated from the CX-6p-PoE and from each
other, and can be safely connected to external power sources or grounds.
11
Connecting an Environmental Probe
The CX-6p-PoE has two connector ports on the rear of the unit where AFI Environmental
Probe devices such as the P-TAH or P-VFP can be connected. These ports are located
all the way to the right of the unit when looking at it from the rear.
To connect an AFI environmental probe, use the cable provided with the probe. Plug the
smaller end of the cable into the probe. Plug the larger, flat end of the cable into the CX-
6p-PoE. The LED on the probe should illuminate green. It may briefly flash red when
first connected, and then yellow for a few seconds after initially being connected, before
turning solid green with intermittent yellow flashes.
The CX-6p-PoE will automatically determine which type of probe has been installed and
read alarm and warning data stored in the probe into memory.
12
LED indicators
CX-6p-PoE has twelve LED indicators on the front of the unit, associated
The
with the Ethernet switch and PoE function, and four on the back of the unit,
associated with the environmental monitoring and communications functions.
Front panel indicators – Ethernet connection status
The front panel of the CX-6p-PoE has two LEDs located above each of the first
four RJ45 Ethernet ports. The LED on to the left of each port is a combined
link/activity LED which will illuminate a solid green when an Ethernet link
connection has been made, and will flash rapidly to indicate link activity. The
LED on the right side of each port will illuminate green if power is being provided
to the PoE powered device connected to that port.
Adjacent to each of ports 5 and 6 (the two SFP ports to the right of the first four
ports) are two more LEDs. The upper LED indicates if an optical link is detected
on the port. This LED will illuminate LED if no optical link is detected, and green
if an optical link is detected. The lower LED is a combined link/activity indicator.
It will illuminate green when an Ethernet connection is detected on the port, and
flash rapidly to indicate link activity.
Rear panel indicators – Environmental monitoring functions
There are four LEDs on the rear of the device, arranged in two groups of two, on
the right side of the device as seen from the rear.
Probe status LEDs
There are two LEDs located in between the RS232 serial port and the
environmental probe connectors. These two LEDs indicate the status of the two
environmental probes. These LEDs will each be off if the associated probe is not
installed, green if it is installed and all monitored parameters are within normal
ranges, and red if any of the monitored environmental parameters are outside of
warning or alarm ranges.
Status/Alarm LED
On the right side of the rear panel of the unit are two LEDs. The upper of these
two LEDs indicates the unit’s power and overall alarm status. This LED will
normally light green when the unit is powered. It will illuminate red if the ambient
temperature is above 70C or below 0C, or if an internal hardware problem is
detected in the CX-6p-PoE.
13
Serial RX/TX LED
On the right side of the rear panel of the unit are two LEDs. The lower of these
two LEDs indicates activity on the unit’s RD232 serial port. This LED will
illuminate green if there is data being transmitted out of the port, or green if there
is data being received at the port.
Real-time clock
The CX-6p-PoE’s real-time clock and calendar (RTC) uses a lithium battery to retain
time and date settings while the unit is not powered. It is strongly recommended that
you not attempt to replace this battery without technical assistance from AFI.
