Hardware Connections
ARC Using a standard straight-through CAT5 cable terminated with RJ45
connectors or standard shielded twisted pair terminated with a terminal
block on one end, connect your ARC Wall Panels according to the
guidelines in the ARC Network Design section of the ARC’s documentation
or the Jupiter help file.
When an ARC Wall Panel network is connected to Jupiter, the green ARC

WARNING: When designing an ARC network, one must be careful
not to double
power any ARCs. If all pins on the CAT5 connections are
used, power can travel over the CAT5 cable and reach any ARC on that
particular chain. Power over CAT5 could potentially come from the ARC
that is powered locally and then daisy-chained via CAT5 to other ARCs or
directly from a particular ARC’s terminal block connections. In general, we
recommend using only one type of power connection on the ARCs, either
the RJ45s (with CAT5 cable) or the terminal blocks but not both.
CAUTION: DO NOT plug the RJ45 connectors of an ARC Wall Panel into
