7.4.1
Introduction
This section gives an overview of typical system 
connections using the CobraNet interface.
Connecting the Praesideo network (see section 7.4.2).
Connecting the CobraNet network (see 
section 7.4.3).
Connecting control inputs (see section 7.4.4).
Connecting control outputs (see section 7.4.5).
7.4.2
Connecting the Praesideo 
network
Connect the CobraNet interface to the Praesideo system 
using the system bus connectors and LBB4416 network 
cables. Both connectors are interchangeable.
This unit is powered by the network controller, via the 
Praesideo system bus.
7.4.3
Connecting the CobraNet 
network
Connect the CobraNet interface to the CobraNet 
network using the Ethernet connectors and Cat-5 
Ethernet cables. Use either one Cat-5 connection for a 
normal Ethernet connection or two for a redundant 
connection. Ethernet supports redundant connections 
between switches using self-healing topologies. Each 
connection has two indicators:
The right indicator shows green for Ethernet link 
and flashing green for Ethernet activity.
The left indicator lights yellow on the port in use and 
flashes yellow on the port in use if the interface is the 
conductor.
