1. 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 14 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 Note2. 36 The hardware baud rate for each port can be selected from 0 to 57600 bps This controls the rate at which each hardware port receives and transmits data It does not affect the rate at which information is transmitted over the network IP address specifies the address of the target N 664 on which there will be a port which this serial port is to link to This address may be up to 15 characters long and must be in dotted quad format An IP address is required for client mode and must contain the network IP address of the device the client will connect to In server mode the IP address is optional If an IP address is provided in server mode the server port will only accept incoming connections from that address The port number indicates which port on the target device the N 664 will attempt to connect to in client mode Note that these numbers refer to the number of the serial port as indicated on the device and web screen not the IP port number This number has no function in server mode The flow control setting is used to control the function of the CTS RTS pins when the port is configured in RS232 mode With flow control set to Hardware the RTS output pin on each port will only be asserted when that port is connected to a destination that can receive data and the port will only transmit data when the CTS input pin is asserted With flow control set to None the RTS pin will be asserted all the time and the CTS input pin will
