Overview

Thank you purchasing your American Fibertek N-111 Net I/O. 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) N-111 device allows serial data and contact closure signals to be made accessible on and linked over a network, with N-111 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-111 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

The N-111 has a two position screw terminal which accepts input from an external 12VDC power supply. To connect an external power supply, 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. Tighten the terminal screws to secure the wires in the terminal block. Be sure that the polarity of the applied power is as indicated. Connecting power with incorrect polarity may damage the N-111.

The N-111 is also capable of being powered over the network connection through

802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE). To power a N-111 over POE connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the N-111’s Ethernet port and the other end to a PSE network switch, midspan injector, or similar device capable of providing power over an Ethernet connection in accordance with the 802.3af POE standard. When used in this configuration the DC power input terminal block should not be connected to a power supply.

Connecting to the network

Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the N-111’s Ethernet port and the other end of a cable to the Ethernet network.

Connecting a serial device

The N-111 has a DB-9 serial port 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-111 to a RS232 serial device, connect a serial cable from the serial port on the rear of the N-111 to the serial device. The N-111 RS232 is configured as a DTE 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.

Connecting contacts

The N-111 has a port for contact input (alarms) and contact output (aux). This port is a five pin header with a supplied plug with screw terminals. Customer connections to the contact port 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

The contact block has two terminals which are used as an alarm/contact input. Viewing the rear of the N-111, these two terminals are the two on the left side of the contact 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-111, 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. 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-111.

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 exactly 1K.

Connecting an aux output

The contact block has three terminals which are used for the aux contact out function. (location details). The contact output is a form C contact closure. (terminal details)

To connect an external device to an aux contact out on the N-111, 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.

Aux Contact Out

When an output is not active, the Common terminal will be electrically connected inside the N-111 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-111 between the C terminal and the Normally Open terminal.

The Aux Output terminals are electrically isolated from the N-111 and from each other, and can be safely connected to external power sources or grounds.

LED indicators

Within 5 seconds of the AC power cable being connected, the N-111 will perform a test of its front panel indicator LEDs. 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.

The front panel of the N-111 has several LED indicators. The action of individual LEDS is as follows:

Power indicator LED

This LED indicates that power is applied to the unit. During initial powering up of the unit, the power LED will briefly flash green, then red for a moment. It should then light green and remain green while the unit is on.

Status LED

This LED indicates the status of the aux contact output. During initial powering up of the unit, this LED will briefly flash green, then red for a moment. It will then be illuminated green if the aux contact output is active, or off when the aux contact output is not active.

Alarm LED

This LED indicates the status of the alarm input. During initial powering up of the unit, this LED will briefly flash green, then red for a moment. It will then be illuminated red if the alarm input is active, or off when the alarm input is not active.

Serial LED

This LED indicates the status of the serial port. During initial powering up of the unit, this LED will briefly flash green, then red for a moment. During operation, this LED will flash green when serial data is being transmitted out of the serial port, red when serial data is being received into the serial port, and off when there is no port activity.

Initial IP configuration

Factory default IP Reset sequence NTP/timeserver configuration

Factory default IP

The N-111 is factory programmed with the following default network settings:

IP address

192.168.10.11

Netmask

255.255.255.0

Gateway

192.168.1.1

DNS

None programmed

If the N-111 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.
