2.0 Installation

The short haul modems are shipped in pairs. One modem is attached to the master controller on the
access control network. The other is attached to the host computer's COM port.

NOTE: Each short haul modem has a small switch allowing the modem to be set for use with either
Data T e rminal Equipment (DTE) or Data Communication Equipment (DCE) devices. Please ensure
that each modem's switch is set correctly.

The switch is used to set the modem to match the type of device it is connected to.

Insert a thin-blade screwdriver into the switch slot and verify the switch is turned completely
counter-clockwise for a DTE application or completely clockwise for a DCE application. Applying
too much pressure while turning the switch may damage the modem.

NOTE: When a KDP-252 cable is used, make sure the short haul modem switch is set for a DCE
application.

2.2 Connecting to an EntraGuard Gold Controller

A short haul modem may be used with an EntraGuard Gold master controller however, due to the
size of the short haul modem, an extension cable must be made to allow the modem to be located
outside of the controller box so the box may close properly.

The DB-9 connector on the short haul modem and on the EntraGuard Gold controller are both
female. To make the short haul modem to controller connection two DB-9 male connectors are
required and a minimum of 3 conductor cable (length as needed). Set the switch on the short haul
modem to the DCE position by gently turning the switch completely counter-clockwise.
