Overview
Thank you purchasing your American Fibertek N-664 Net I/O. Please take a few minutes
to read these installation instructions in order to obtain the maximum performance from
this product.
The AFI V’NES (Video Network Enterprise Solution) N-664 device allows serial data and
contact closure signals to be made accessible on and linked over a network, with N-664
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. N-664 devices can
be linked together over a standard Ethernet connection, making it possible to use a preexisting LAN or the Internet for device communication.

Connecting the Hardware
Connecting power
Use the supplied AC line cord to connect the N-664 to a 100-240VAC power line by
plugging one end of the cord into the polarized 3 pin socket on the rear of the N-664,
and the other end into an available 3 pin grounded power outlet. A few seconds after
connecting power you should see the front panel LEDS light green, then red, in
sequence from left to right. The N-664 should now be ready for use.
Connecting to the network
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the N-664’s Ethernet port and the other end of
a cable to the Ethernet network.
Connecting a serial device
The N-664 has four DB-9 serial ports which can be configured in software for several
different communications modes. The method used to connect to the serial port will
vary depending on the hardware mode selected.
Connecting RS232
To connect the N-664 to a RS232 serial device, connect a serial cable from one of the
serial ports on the rear of the RS232 to the serial device.

Connecting RS485 four-wire
To connect to a serial port in RS485 4-wire mode, you will need a DB9 connector wired
as indicated. Four connections will need to be made for the two data transmit lines and
the two data receive lines. Do not make any other connections to any other pins on the
DB9 connector.
Connecting RS485 two-wire
To connect to a serial port in RS485 4-wire mode, you will need a DB9 connector wired
as indicated. Two pairs of pins on the DB9 will need to be bridged together. Two
connections will then need to be made to the bridged pins for the two bidirectional data
lines. Do not make any other connections to any other pins on the DB9 connector.
10
Connecting contacts
The N-664 has six ports for contact inputs (alarms) and contact outputs (aux). Each port
is a five pin header with a supplied plug with screw terminals. Customer connections to
the contact ports are made by securing stripped wire ends into the screw terminals.
Note: All connections to the screw terminals should be made with the terminal plug
removed from the unit, and with power disconnected from any customer equipment
being connected to the terminals.
Connecting an alarm input
Each contact block has two terminals which are used as an alarm/contact input. Viewing
the rear of the N-664, these two terminals are the lower two of each 5 pin terminal block.
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 N-664, 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 blocks. Tighten the terminal screws to secure the
wires in the terminal block.
Alarm Input Connection
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 N-664.
11
Connecting an aux output
Each contact block has three terminals which are used for the aux contact out function.
Viewing the rear of the N-664, these three terminals are the upper three of each 5 pin
terminal block. Each contact output is a form C contact closure. The topmost terminal
(labeled ‘C’) is the Common terminal on the form C. The second terminal (labeled ‘NC’)
is the Normally Closed contact, and the third (labeled ‘NO’) is the Normally Open
contact.
To connect an external device to an aux contact out on the N-664, 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 blocks. Tighten the terminal screws to secure the wires in the
terminal block.
Normally Open Aux Contact Out Normally Closed Aux Contact Out
When an output is not active, the Common terminal will be electrically connected inside
the N-664 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 N-664 between the C terminal
and the Normally Open terminal.
The Aux Output terminals are electrically isolated from the N-664 and from each other,
and can be safely connected to external power sources or grounds.

LED indicators: power up sequencing
Within 5 seconds of the AC power cable being connected, the N-664 will perform a test
of its front panel indicator LEDs. It will light each LED in sequence, starting with the
leftmost LED and proceeding from left to right. The LEDS will first light green, then red,
then turn off. Once the sequence has finished the LEDs will resume their normal
function and the unit will be ready for use.
LED indicators: normal functions
The front panel of the N-664 has several LED indicators. These indicators are grouped
into 6 pairs for indicating the status of the aux/alarm contact ports, and four pairs for
indicating the status of the serial ports. The action of individual LEDS is as follows:
AUX CONTACT IN
The upper LED in each AUX CONTACT pair indicates the status of the Alarm In
connection for that contact port. This LED will illuminate red when that Alarm In is
active. Active can indicate either that the contact is open, or that the contact is closed,
depending on the setting in the “Alarm Setup” management page chosen for that alarm
input.
AUX CONTACT OUT
The lower LED in each AUX CONTACT pair indicates the status of the Aux Out
connection for that contact port. This LED will illuminate red when that Aux Contact Out
connection is active. Active indicates that the C terminal on the port is now connected to
the NO terminal and disconnected from the NC terminal.
SERIAL RX
The upper LED in each SERIAL pair indicates the presence of data incoming on that
hardware port. When data is being received from attached customer equipment and
transmitted over an active network link, that RX led will flash green.
SERIAL TX
The lower LED in each SERIAL pair indicates the presence of data outgoing on that
hardware port. When data from an active network connection is being sent out on that
port, the TX led will flash red.
Real-time clock
The N-664’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.

Factory default IP
The N-664 is factory programmed with the following default IP address:
192.168.0.246
If the N-664 has not had its IP address changed by the user it will be possible to connect
to it at this network address. If you do not know the IP address of the unit, you can reset
the unit back to factory defaults and then connect at the default address.
