2.3 Connecting Cables (AC Power Cable and Network Cable)
Purpose
In the case of AC power supply, the AC adaptor should be used and there
should be an AC power supply socket near the alarm box. The AC adaptor
delivered with the alarm box provides a 2-meter-long DC power cable, and the
AC power cable is also 2 meter long. The location of AC adaptor and the length
of the power cables should be considered when the alarm box is installed.
The power cables and network cable should be fixed on the wall after they are
covered by jackets. Cabling should be done with smooth bends. The cables
may be damaged if the ends of the cables are tightened.
Prerequisites
The alarm box is installed.
The power cable and network cable are prepared and laid well.
Tools and instruments are ready.
Steps
1. Connect the straight-through cable (RJ-45 connector) to the network
interface of the alarm box, and then connect the other end to the port of
the hub or to the layer-2 switch that resides in the same LAN with the
alarm server.
2. Connect the three-pole plug of the AC power cable to the AC power
supply socket, and then connect the any end of the power cable to the
AC adaptor. Make sure that the AC power supply socket is switched off
before you connect cables to it.

Figure 2.3-2 AC Power Cable
Caution:
The three-pole plug actually used may differ from that in the preceding figure
due to the different standards adapted by countries. Appropriate power cables
will be delivered with the alarm box; otherwise a junction board can be used.
3. Connect the DC power cable of the adaptor to the power supply terminal
that is in the right part of the bottom panel of the alarm box. Connect the
bare wire marked with GND to the -48VRTN terminal block of the power
supply terminal. Connect the other bare wire to the -48V terminal block.
Then fix the bare wires with in-built bolts.
4. According to the installation location of the alarm box and the layout of
the cables, install the PVC cable tray on the wall.
If the other ends of the cables need to be placed at the same place (for
example, inside the cabinet). Lay the PVC cable tray along the wall to
the wiring ladder and then to the cabinet (upper cabling method).

Otherwise, lay the PVC cable tray along the wall to the floor, and then
lay the cables along the cable rack under the floor to the cabinet (down
cabling method where the cable tray may not be used in cabling under
the floor).
If the other ends of the cables need to be placed at the same place,
separate the cables in proper position. Moreover, put them into narrow
PVC cable trays, and lay them along the wall or along the cable racks
under the floor to the proper positions.

2.4 Connecting Cables (DC Power Cable and Network Cable)
Purpose
The alarm box can be connected to the DC power supply available by using
the 3-meter-long DC power cable delivered with the alarm box or a self-made
cable. The parameters of the self-made cable should comply with or be higher
than those of the delivered cable, as shown in Table 2.4-1.

connected to the alarm box.
3. Press ▲ or ▼ to view the alarm statistics of different alarm servers.
4.4 Setting the Broadcast Storm Threshold
Purpose
Broadcast storm detection judges whether the received broadcast packets
exceed the threshold. The sampling value is generated per second. If five
consecutive sampling values exceed the specified threshold, the alarm box
considers that a broadcast storm occurs in the network. In the case of a
broadcast storm, the alarm box generates a sound or light alarm and stops
receiving broadcast packets accordingly. After a period of time, the alarm box
resumes receiving the broadcast packets. If 30 consecutive sampling values
are all lower than the threshold, the alarm box considers that the network
operates properly.
Prerequisites
The alarm box is connected to the alarm server and basic configurations
are already performed on the alarm box. For details, see Chapter 3.
Steps
1. On the alarm box panel, press Menu. The main menu appears on the
LCD screen.

Purpose
The alarm box supports alarm-severity-based permanent mute. Alarms are
classified into four severities, namely SERIOUS, MAJOR, MINOR, and
WARNING (from Severity 1 to Severity 4). If an alarm severity is specified,
alarms of this severity and lower severities are all muted. For example, if
Severity 3 is specified, the alarm box mutes the alarms of Severity 3 and 4.
