Description
The OE361-13 CommLink 5 Communications 
Interface allows computer access into the 
Orion controls system and also provides 
communications across multiple local com-
munications loops on the control system. 
The CommLink 5 comes packaged in an at-
tractive beige colored plastic enclosure. The 
CommLink 5 is powered by a small plug-in 
transformer that is included. Locally, an op-
tional on-site personal computer with Prism II 
software installed may be connected to the 
CommLink 5 to provide direct access to sys-
tem control parameters. A USB cable (6 ft. 
long) is provided with the CommLink 5 for 
connection to your computer. 
 
An optional OE415-02 IP Module Kit, when 
installed and configured in the CommLink 5 
communication interface, provides TCP IP 
Internet and/or intranet connection for Ether-
net networked computer systems, allowing 
them to communicate with your control sys-
tem. The OE415-02 IP Module Kit consists of 
the IP Module and a 10 ft. long CAT5 Ether-
net crossover cable. 
 
Using standard TCP/IP Protocol, with Watt-
Master’s Prism II software, you are able to 
monitor and configure your controllers without 
a modem or a direct connection from a PC. 
Utilizing existing routers, proxies, or firewalls 
allows a PC running Prism II to connect to a 
controller in a remote accessible location or 
building. Several IP connection profiles can 
be created to facilitate monitoring several 
CommLink 5’s with IP Module Kits installed 
on individual sites. 
Mounting
If an on-site computer is to be used for direct 
connection and monitoring of the system, the 
CommLink 5 should be located near the 
computer terminal to monitor the system.
