the ON position, the database cannot be modified. Thus, placing the switch in the ON position
eliminates the potential for remote database modification. If remote data entry is not desired, after
all installation and database entries are complete place the switch in the ON position.
When new gateway Modules and/or terminals are connected to a LAN, they will automatically
attempt to register with an iPECS UCP. With the Registration switch (switch position 3) in the ON
state, the system will recognize and respond to the registration request. With the switch in the
OFF position, the system will not respond to the request. During initial installation, the switch
should be placed in the ON position to permit the system to recognize and respond to registration
requests. If it is desired to deny future registrations, the switch should be placed in the OFF
position. This is useful when multiple systems may be connected to the same LAN. For details on
gateway Module and terminal registration, refer to the iPECS UCP Admin & Programming
Manual.
The system database is initialized based on switch position 4. In the ON position, the system will
load default values in the system database when power is applied to the UCP or the Reset button
is pressed. Note if the system looses power for any reason with the switch in the ON position, the
database will be initialized. Place the switch in the ON position then, after completing the system
wiring and prior to any database entries, place the switch in the OFF position. For a description of
the initialization process, refer to the iPECS UCP Admin & Programming Manual.
Wiring Connectors
Before wiring any of the Modules, first connect the “ ” screw on the back of the Module to a
known ground, refer to 6.1.4. If installed in a cabinet assure the cabinet is grounded.
On the front of the UCP are the “LAN 1” and, for the UCP600 and UCP2400, “LAN2” RJ-45 type
connectors. These connectors should be wired to the appropriate LAN points as discussed in
6.1.6 and 6.1.7.
Wire “LAN 1” to a 10/100/1000 Base-T switch, an ES8G/ES8GP can be used to connect
to the LAN.
For UCP 600 or UCP2400 redundant processor operation, wire “LAN 2” of main and
back-up UCP. When the iPECS UCP modules are local, the LAN2 connectors of the
modules can be directly connected. Note Admin is required to configure redundancy, refer
to the iPECS UCP Admin & Programming Manual.
Tag or number wiring for maintenance.
For the iPECS UCP100 module, the eight (8) RJ-45 connectors on the rear panel are terminated
for miscellaneous functions, and the CO/BRI option board and the two (2) FXS (SLT) ports. Wire
these connectors as depicted in the sketch of Figure 6.2-1. Table 6.2-3 provides the connector
terminations in tabular form. These CO/BRI connections are available from the Main Cabinet RJ-
21x connectors (6.17) using the wiring shown for the slot where the UCP100 is located. Note
Jack splitters are provided with the iPECS UCP100 CO/BRI option board to allow a more direct
termination. To use the Jack splitters see 6.2.1.
