Communication Ports
The front door must be opened in order to access the communication ports. Refer to Section 7.2 for
information on opening the front door and Figure 4-33 for the physical location of the ports.
Note:
For all connection methods the detector also provides a gateway to all the other devices on the
VESDAnet network.
USB
The USB port is used for initial configuration and local maintenance or servicing of the VEU-A10 using a PC
installed with Xtralis VSC software.
Install Xtralis VSC prior to connecting the VEU-A10 to the PC or Laptop. This ensures that the required
USB drivers are present.
Notes:
l
The USB port must not be used for permanent field connection. For example, do not use a USB to
Ethernet or USB to Wifi adaptor to connect the detector to a LAN using USB.
l
Refer to the Xtralis VSC documentation for operating system compatibility information.
Ethernet
The Ethernet port is used for permanent network connection to the VEU-A10. An Ethernet lead can be routed
through the cable entry ports and plugged into the Ethernet port.
Use a standard Ethernet lead when connecting the VEU-A10 to a network switch, router or directly to a PC or
laptop.
WiFi
The WiFi module provides wireless connection of the detector to the building network for the purpose of
configuration and secondary monitoring.
4.3.5
VESDAnet
VESDAnet is a bidirectional data communication network between connected VESDA-E devices. VESDAnet
connectivity is available on the VEU-A10 detector. Refer to Section 2.6 for further information.
It is recommended that RS 485 (Belden 9841 - 120 Ohm) twisted pair cables be used for including the devices
in the network.
The network cables are terminated at the VESDAnet A and B Terminals. Cabling from one VESDA-E device
is brought into the detector at one terminal and looped out to another device on VESDAnet from the other
terminal.
