Cisco Physical Access Gateway User Guide, Release 1.5.1

Connecting a Cisco Output Module

---

Overview

The optional Cisco Output Module (Figure 5-1) is attached to a Cisco Physical Access Gateway or Cisco Reader Module to provide additional connections for up to 8 outputs, each of which can be configured as Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC).

Figure 5-1 Cisco Output Module

The Cisco Output Module is connected to a Cisco Physical Access Gateway or Cisco Reader Module using a CAN connection to provide connections for additional output devices, as, as shown in Figure 5-2.

Installing the Cisco Output Module

Install a Cisco Output Module is provide additional output connections for a Cisco Reader Module or Gateway

Before You Begin

Verify the following:

• Verify that the module has access to a power source. See the “Power Options and Requirements” section for more information.
• Verify that you have the necessary mounting brackets or other hardware. See the “Mounting a Gateway or Optional Module” section.

Procedure

To install the module, perform the following procedure:

Step 1 Mount the module to a wall. See the “Mounting a Gateway or Optional Module” section for more information.

Step 2 Connect the module to the DC power source:

a. Insert a two-pin connector plug into the DC power port (Figure 5-5)

b. Connect the Voltage In (VIN) and ground (GND) wires.

See the “Power Options and Requirements” section for more information.

Figure 5-5 Power Connections for the Cisco Output Module

Step 3 Connect the module to the CAN bus:

a. Insert a three-pin connector plug into the CAN1 port, as shown in Figure 5-6.

b. Connect the CAN wires to the CAN bus, as shown in Figure 5-7

c. Turn the CAN terminator ON if the device is the last device in a CAN wiring bus.

Note The CAN terminator switch in included on the Reader, Input and Output modules only (the Gateway is always the first device in the CAN bus). Set the terminator switch to OFF for all other modules in the CAN bus.

Note The CAN2 interface is not supported in this release.

See the “Optional Expansion Modules” section for more information.

Step 4 Connect output devices to the module:

a. Insert three-pin connector plugs into the output ports.

b. Connect the wires from the output devices:

– Common (C) is always used, and either NC or NO is used to complete the connection.

– If the relay is normally open, use the C & NO connections. The circuit is closed when triggered.

– If the relay is normally closed, use the C & NC connections. The circuit is opened when triggered.

Step 5 See the Cisco Physical Access Manager User Guide for information to configure the module ports.
