Before continuing the activation process, you must make the hardware connections. Since each security
panel is different, follow the instructions in the next section, "
Connecting the Hardware
", for the specific
security panel you are installing. Then please follow the instructions in
"Activating the Service" on

for all security panels.
Connecting the Hardware
Follow the procedure in this section that applies to the security panel you are installing.
Note:
Do not connect the iHub gateway's power supply to an electrical outlet until you
are instructed to do so by the activation wizard. If you power on the gateway before it is
connected to the Internet, it cannot retrieve the information it requires on power up. If you
have already done this, simply unplug it and continue with the following instructions.
If you are installing a Touch Screen, do not connect it to a power source until you are
instructed to do so by the activation wizard.
To connect the gateway to the security panel RS422 interface:
1.
Wire the RS422 interface unit (Automation Module or xSPIM) per manufacturer’s instructions.
The RS422 module will connect to the Control Panel’s Keypad bus.)
2.
The iHub connectors are labeled Tx+, Tx-, Rx+, and Rx-. The RS422 interface Module connectors
are labeled the same but might include a/b instead of +/-. Using a standard 4-wire security cable,
connect the ports on the gateway's RS422 bus to the RS422 interface Module as follows:
