HSSI* Remote Echo Display Network with an ADT6500 and ADT1500s
The HSSI network is used when all displays must simultaneously run the same message. Individual addressability
isn’t supported. Follow the HSSI NETWORK DIAGRAMS (Option 1,2 or 3) on the attached set of drawings.
Use Belden #9271 shielded, twisted pair cable, or if plenum (Teflon) cable is required, used Belden #89207.
*High Speed Serial Interface (U.S. patent #4551720).
Local Area Network (LAN-B) with ADTx500 Addressable Displays
This is a bi-directional network that uses an ADT6500 or ADT4500 at the “head end” to communicate with the
other ADT6500 or ADT3500 displays. Each display requires a LAN-B network connector: use LAN-B / DB9
for ADT6500s / 4500s, and LAN-B / Telco for ADT3500s. LAN-B networks are generally recommended when
all the displays are in one building, and he interconnecting cable is already available or easy to run. Follow the
attached LAN-B NETWORK DIAGRAMS.
Modem-based Network with ADTx500 Addressable Displays
This also is a bi-directional network that uses an ADT6500 at the “head end” with an external modem to
communicate with ADT6500s, or ADT4500/3500s with external, direct dial-up modems. Each display’s modem
must have its own direct phone line – the incoming messages can’t be handled through a switchboard. Modem-
based display networks are used when messages need to be sent to other buildings, or when hardwired cabling is
expensive, impractical or impossible to install within a location. Follow the attached MODEM-BASED
NETWORK DIAGRAMS.
