2.4 desCriPtion
The RLC 8 Management System will be connected to a PC or a network via the
LAN interface and enables communication between the PC and the connected
head-end stations (LAN <-> 8 x RS232). Therefore the Windows software
PSW 1000 ist needed.
A connection to the Internet (and thereby remote control) is possible via a
router.
Hardware concept:
- 6 - RLC 8
The basic units can be configured and remote controlled via Ethernet with
software PSW 1000.
The most current version can be downloaded from "www.mygss.eu".
A key code (activation code) is required for the activation of the PSW 1000
software.
This can be obtained from your regional authorised distributor.
The RLC 8 has 8 RS-232 interfaces (Sub D connectors/male) to connect up to
8 headend stations (control units "BE-Remote") to a PC/network. The monitor-
ing cassette PSCU 6000/HSCU 6000 is also supported.
Error messages from the PSCU 6000/HSCU 6000 monitoring cassette can be
forwarded by e-mail.
Required index levels for remote control and remote updates:
– PSW 1000 index level: ≥ V65
– BE-Remote index level: ≥ V45
2.5 PC / laPtoP system requirements
System requirements for the PSW 1000 software:
– PC or laptop with a Pentium processor,
– Windows 95*/98*/ME/2000/Vista/7 (*from Internet Explorer 5 on),
– At least 32 MB RAM, at least 50 MB free space on hard drive,
– LAN interface (RJ 45 socket)
– Internet access for downloads and remote maintenance.

3 installation
– The device should only be installed in a room where the permissible am-
bient temperature range (0 °C … +40 °C ) can be maintained, even during
fluctuations in climatic conditions.
– Mount the device on a non-combustible base.
– Use mounting material suitable for the wall properties.
• Attach four mounting screws at the installation site. The drilling distances
are shown in the drawing below.

• Hang the unit with the mounting supports 1 on the 4 screws
• Tighten the screws.
3.1 Potential equalisation (Pe)
Make a potential equalisation (PE) according to IEC/EN/DIN EN 50083 resp.
IEC/EN/DIN EN 60728.
• Connect the PE connection terminal 2 to a PE rail (supplied by customer)
using a PE wire (Cu 4mm2 - 9mm2).

3.2 assembling a ConneCtion Cable
External components are connected to the management unit with 1:1 RS-232
cables. You can assemble these cable in the required lengths by using the sup-
plied RS-232 plugs and the ribbon cable.

• Cut off a section of cable to the required length.
• Insert the ends of the cable into the openings on the RS-232 plug and
RS-232 socket, making sure they are pushed in all the way.
• Firmly close the sliders on the blade contacts.
3.3 ConneCting ComPonents
• Connect up to 8 head-end stations (7 head-end stations/1 monitoring cas-
settes PSCU 6000/HSCU 6000) to the RS-232 interfaces 3 by using self-
made 1:1 RS-232 cables.
• Connect the attached power supply unit to DC socket 4.
After about 1 minute the RLC 8 is ready to use.
A combination with HRCU 8/PRCU 8 is not possible!

5 ConneCting to a network
5.1 lan Configuration
The "static" (fixed) IP address 192.168.0.120 and Port 60002 is set to the
RLC 8.
If another IP address range is used in your network or this IP address is already
in use, first the IP address of the RLC 8 must be changed. If several RLC 8 are
used in the network, different IP addresses must be assigned for the RLCs:
• Set a static IP address to your PC which is in the address range of the RLC
8 (e.g. 192.168.0.2).
• Connect your PC directly to the RLC 8 via a LAN cable.
• Start any internet browser.
• Enter the IP address of the RLC 8 (http://192.168.0.120) at the address
line of the browser and press the "Enter" button:
• Enter the user name "admin" and the password ("geheim" is the standard
value) and click the "Login" button.
- 15 - RLC 8
• Enter the settings necessary for your network.
Use only ports in the range of 35000 – 60100 or 61000 – 65000!
On request change the password.
Note the settings!
• Click the "Apply" button in order to save the changes.
The changed settings are transmitted to the RLC 8.
The RLC 8 will be rebooted.
Now the RLC 8 is configured for your LAN network.
• Disconnect the LAN connection to your PC.
• Connect the RLC 8 to your network.

7 remote aCCess via internet
To get remote access via internet the router connected to the RLC 8 must be
connected to the internet. In addition the "public" IP address with which the
router is connected to the internet must be known.
—> Therefore you either need a "fixed", "static" public IP address, or
a DNS account which you can get from respective providers of
dynamic DNS services (e.g. DynDNS.com).
For remote maintenance via internet "Port Forwarding" must be configured at
the router.
—> Pay attention for the operating instruction of the router.
—> If several RLC 8 are used, for each port used "Port Forwarding"
must be configured.
—> To get remote access via internet you need a PC with internet access
• Start the PSW 1000 software.
—> The installation of the PSW 1000 software is described in chapter
4 (page 9).
• Click the button.
—> The "Connection settings" window is activated.
• Select tab "Ethernet" and enter
• Select tab "Ethernet" and enter at a connection
at a connection via the Internet the "external"
(public) IP address of the router or its "dynamic
DNS account" and the port of the router, for
which port forwarding to the management sys-
tem is configured e.g.
IP
212.20.172.0
and port
59999.
• If a password was set before enter the password
(case-sensitive).
• Click on button "OK".
- 19 - RLC 8
If no password is set, the following message appears:
• Click on button "OK".
—> The connecting button changes from to .
If you have entered a wrong password, the following message appears:
• Enter the password (case-sensitive).
—> The connecting button changes from to .
