Mounting the Bridge
The bridge may be mounted directly on a surface using double-sided foam tape (included) or it may
be secured to equipment using tie-wraps. The choice depends on your specific application.
Cabling
The Door Switch connects to the IMS-1000 via an RJ-45 cable (e.g. CAT5 cable) from the bridge.
The connection from the bridge to IMS-1000 can utilize your existing network wiring infrastruc-
ture. For example, the switch may be installed in another room or another floor. Connect the bridge
to your structured wiring network via an RJ-45 jack. At the other end, connect a patch cable from
your structured wiring patch panel directly to the IMS-1000 environment input.
Caution: IMS sensors are not TCP/IP devices and therefore should not be connected
directly to any wiring infrastructure that is connected to network equipment such as a
hub, router, or switch. Sensors use RJ-45 plugs and cables similar to those used with
Ethernet devices.
Configuration
All IMS Solution sensors are auto-configured when you plug them into the IMS-1000. When a
new sensor is plugged into the IMS-1000, the configuration is set to the factory default via the
Sensor Template.
If you have modified these templates, the configuration will be set to the modi-
fied configuration. When a sensor is removed, or the connection is disrupted, the configuration
data remains intact but the sensor will go into trouble status and generate a trouble alarm. When
the sensor is plugged in again, or the connection is re-established, configuration data remains
unchanged and the sensor returns to normal operating condition.
Caution: Removing a sensor for less than 60 seconds does not produce a trouble alarm.
Removing or unplugging a sensor for more than 60 seconds or plugging in a different
sensor at any time will cause a trouble alarm.
