Shielding 
The shielding of all shielded cables used in the system should only be connected 
at one side to one common earthing point in a building. If a shielded LAN cable is 
routed via more than one plastic device the shielding from incoming and outgoing 
cable must be connected. 
Termination Links 
Put a jumper across TERM on the panel and the furthest device to ensure correct 
RS-485 termination and avoid communication issues with signal reflection, etc.
