Installation and Service Manual 26
Networking
The Accelaterm can be networked with a maximum of 62
other Accelaterm units or other Continental Access access
control devices (Superterm, Turbo Superterm, Smarterm,
Miniterm and Microterm).
'485 Repeater Network Cable Requirements
Networking multiple Accelaterm panels requires 4-conductor
cable (2-two wire twisted pair), stranded, 22AWG, with
shielding, and drain wire.
For REPEAT network configurations, cable length between
EACH Accelaterm is restricted to a maximum length of 500
feet (150m).
Network Address Settings
Operating the Accelaterm with a host computer, or in a net-
work, requires that each Accelaterm (or other device) have an
individual, unique address other than zero.
The BCD Rotary Switches are set with a small screwdriver.
There is a click detent for each number. The valid address
range is "01" to "63". (Address "00" is not valid).

Communication Wiring
The Ethernet Port normally requires plenum-spec CAT 5,
CAT 5e, CAT 6 or CAT 6a cable. Maximum length allowed
in the IEEE 802.3 specification is 100 meters (305 feet).
