How to install 2N PoLRE LPC Ethernet Switch

• Plan your topology: Identify the entrances to be upgraded and map the analogue lines that will be converted for IP use. Determine the locations for the PoLRE LPC switch and any necessary adapters, ensuring a clean, organized cabling layout that minimizes interference and makes future maintenance simple.
• Prepare the cabling: Inspect existing analogue cabling for integrity and label each line according to its door location or zone. If you’re working in a retrofit, ensure the cabling run length stays within the recommended limits for stable IP signal transport through the adapters and switch.
• Connect analogue lines to the switch: Attach the analogue cables to the appropriate ports on the PoLRE LPC switch using the adapters supplied or specified for your SKU. Verify secure connections and confirm that each line corresponds to its intended door location to prevent confusion during testing.
• Link IP devices and network: Connect IP door devices to the switch’s Ethernet ports via the adapters as required. Then connect the switch to your network backbone, ensuring proper termination, switch configuration, and VLAN settings as needed to segment IP door traffic from other network traffic for reliability and security.
• Power and test: Apply power to the switch according to your SKU’s requirements. If PoE is supported by your version, verify power delivery to all IP devices. Perform end-to-end testing of doorbell, intercom, and access control functions, confirming audio clarity, signaling latency, and reliable control actions at the central management system.
• Documentation and maintenance: Record the final topology, port mappings, and firmware version. Keep an accessible inventory of adapters and spare parts. Establish a routine for firmware updates and periodic checks to maintain optimal performance and security over the life of the installation.
