Connectors
Ethernet
The iMC-Panel-100 has one RJ-45 Ethernet connector. Connect the iMC-Panel-100 to the switch
on the master control network using CAT5 cable or better.
It is on this network that the iMC-Panel-100 communicates with MCPMs and with the configura-
tion software. You (or your system administrator) must provide a unique IP address for the iMC-
Panel-100.
Without the IP address, the iMC-Panel-100 cannot communicate with MCPMs, MCEs, or the con-
figuration software. Use the Panel ID menu under the Panel Menu to set the IP address and IP sub-
net mask.
The default IP address is 192.168.7.100. and the subnet mask must always be 255.255.255.0.
S Operators generally need not be concerned with the iMC-Panel-100’s network address.
USB Ports
There are two USB ports. If your iMC-Panel-100 uses a Planar touchscreen, one of the USB ports
will connect to the USB port of the touchscreen. If your panel does not have a touchscreen, one of
the USB ports will be used for a mouse (with which you manipulate items on the display). The
other port is discretionary.
VGA Port
The VGA port (HD15) connects to the VGA port of the display.
GPI/Alarm
The iMC-Panel-100 has a DB25 connector that supports GPI inputs, GPI outputs, and alarms:
If you intend to use any of these connections, make the connections according to figures 3-10 and
two diagrams.

If your GPI input cable has a ground wire or
shielding, you can connect the ground (or
shielding) to the associated ground pin on the
DB25 connector. It is not necessary to do so.
The ground pin is not shown here.
