Connecting Junior-V4 and Odyssey

2011 Global Fire Equipment, SA.

Version 1.0

Abstract
Junior V4 is equipped with one UART connection, available in the front of the main panel board, labelled as "Mini-Rep". This connection is configured to support the Data-Loop which is the protocol used to communicate with repeaters. Since Version 3.08 build011 was released Odyssey protocol is also available in the same port, but not simultaneously. The protocol used on the "Mini-Rep" port can be selected in the Installation Menu. By default the protocol available in the connector is the Data-Loop.

Junior-V4 Configuration
In order to configure the protocol output to the Odyssey, follow the next steps: 1. Remove the power from the Junior-V4 panel. 2. Press the 'System Reset' button and hold it down, then apply power to the panel. You should see in the screen 'Diagnostics Mode'.

3. Now press 'ESC' button and enter with the installer code (the default is ) and then press 'OK'.

J-NET-INT-TCP/IP Configuration
In order to configure the J-NET-INT-TCP/IP interface follow the steps below: Note: The interfaces are already configured in the factory. Browser configuration: 1. Connect the interface to the panel and to the network. Then apply power to the panel. 2. Open a web browser. We recommend the Internet-Explorer or Firefox. Chrome doesn't work properly. 3. Type in the address bar the IP address of the interface. The factory default is 10.0.0.142. 4. Click in the Network tab (on the top-left of the page). Here you can change the network configuration. Please check this step with the local network administrator.

Telnet / Serial configuration: The same configuration interface can be access with a serial terminal program, such as Microsoft's HyperTerminal which comes bundled with Microsoft Windows, provided you have a free serial port and a straight serial cable with a DB-9 mail connector to attach to the converter. To use the serial interface, connect the serial cable to the converter and PC, with the converter unpowered (by removing power from the attached Panel). Next move the converter's jumper to the PC position and configure the terminal software to use 9600 bauds, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. You can use Hardware Flow Control or No Flow Control, as in some terminal programs one will work while the other will not. After confirming the above configurations, press OK and, while pressing the 'x' key, power up the converter by applying power to the attached Panel. Then press ENTER as instructed and follow the instructions shown on the screen in order to configure the interface. Finally move the jumper again to the 'Panel' position.
