A DPX3 sensor package features the following:
• Its connection interface is RJ-45.
• You can cascade a maximum of 12 DPX3 sensor packages.
RJ-45 ports, each of which is located on

LED for indicating the sensor status.
To connect DPX3 sensor packages to the BCM2:
1. Connect a standard network patch cable (CAT5e or higher) to either
RJ-45 port on the DPX3 sensor package.
2. If you want to cascade DPX3 sensor packages, get an additional
standard network patch cable (CAT5e or higher) and then:
a. Plug one end of the cable into the remaining RJ-45 port on the
