2.0 Network Topology
You should carefully consider the existing network layout at the customer
site before installing the Wiser Home Controller. Try to minimise the
amount of reconfiguration required. There are a couple of important points
to remember during the Wiser Home Controller installation.
• The Wiser Home Controller is not a modem. You must connect the
router to an Internet connection, NOT a telephone line. A
broadband modem is not provided as part of Wiser Home
Controller.
• The Wiser Home Controller has wired and wireless LAN capabilities.
The CNI uses one wired router LAN port. The three remaining wired
ports are for IP connections to the local LAN.
2.1 Mapping Your Existing Network
There are many variations found in home networks. By mapping the
existing network, you make it much easier to see what cabling and
configuration tasks must be performed when installing the Wiser Home
Controller.
Example:
The figure below shows a basic network configuration that is common in
many homes. The network might use automatic IP addressing (DHCP), static
IP addressing or a mix of the two.
Figure 2. A basic home network example BEFORE installing a Wiser Home Controller
In the example above, the customer can easily access the static IP address
of the modem/router to set wireless security parameters.

2.2 Adding the Wiser Home Controller and CNI
The installer has several choices when adding the Wiser Home Controller to
the customer's network. The basic options are:
• Option A. Connect the Wiser Home Controller's WAN port to the output
of the customer's modem/router as shown in Figure 3. In this
configuration, all network traffic passes through the Wiser Home
Controller's wired and wireless LANs.
• Option B. Place the Wiser Home Controller on the existing customer
LAN as shown in Figure 4. This configuration allows you to make
minimal changes to the customer's equipment setup.
• Option C. Connect the Wiser Home Controller to an ADSL modem in
bridge mode. In this configuration, the Wiser Home Controller is the
direct gateway to the customer's ISP.
Option A
Figure 3. Option A, Wiser Home Controller as the connection point for the
customer's LAN
When using Option A, you must re-establish the IP addresses of the
customer's IP connected devices to subnet 2. You might have to configure
static IP addresses. If you are using wireless devices, you must also
configure the wireless LAN on the Wiser Home Controller.
If the Wiser Home Controller does not provide enough physical connections
for IP connected devices, a hub must be added. Clipsal does not provide the
hub.

2.3 Setting up a Wireless LAN
Many homes use wireless devices connected to the wireless LAN on the
customer's ADSL modem/router. The Wiser Home Controller provides a
wireless LAN that should be used for wireless-connected devices. Install the
unit as close as possible to the wireless devices on the LAN.
The IP address of the Wiser Home Controller wireless LAN is the same as
the wired LAN, 192.168.2.1.
Wiser Home Controller is delivered with the wireless LAN enabled and WPA
security is in place.
SSID: WiserHomeController
Security: WPA-PSK
Figure 6. Wiser Home Controller using the wireless LAN used with Option A
Notes:
• You can use the Wiser Home Controller's wireless LAN as the
connection to the PC being used to setup the installation.
• The Wiser Home Controller's wireless LAN does not communicate
directly with the customer's wireless C-Bus devices. The data path to
these devices uses the inline CNI and a C-Bus Wireless Gateway
unit.

3.0 Installation
Use the C-Bus Wiser Home Controller 5200PG Setup Sheet, provided with
the equipment to do the hardware installation. Consult other Wiser Home
Controller product information for details.
3.1 Installation Location
It is important to select the best location to install the Wiser Home
Controller. Some considerations are listed below:
• The Wiser Home Controller is designed for indoor use only.
• The Wiser Home Controller can be mounted on a wall using the
keyholes on the rear of the router. Refer to the Setup Sheet for
details.
• Locate the equipment near associated wireless devices for best
reception.
• Choose a location free of water, humidity, direct sunlight and heavy
dust. Make sure the equipment will have adequate ventilation.
• Route network cables where they will not be disturbed by people
walking about.
• Provide a building power point for the power supply.
3.2 Important Notes
• Keep the PC network (Ethernet) and C-Bus network isolated from each
other. Do not connect the pink C-Bus network cable to an Ethernet LAN
or telephone lines.
The C-Bus network uses polarised 15 - 36 V d.c. that can
damage PC equipment. Connecting Ethernet network cables to
a C-Bus network will cause the networks to fail. Use pink C-Bus
network cable to avoid confusion.
• Using software not provided by Clipsal Integrated Systems (CIS) for
C-Bus operation may cause unpredictable results.
• If you install the CNI unit in a different location from Home Controller,
you must provide a 6-12 V d.c. power supply for the LAN side of the
CNI. You will also use a network cable in place of the extender (busbar).
Polarity for the power socket of the CNI is as follows:

3.4 Step 1, Connect the CNI to the C-Bus Network Cable
The C-Bus network and the Ethernet LAN are electrically isolated inside the
CNI unit. The C-Bus network provides power for the C-Bus side of the CNI
circuit board.
Do not connect the C-Bus side of the CNI to an Ethernet LAN. Damage to
the equipment will occur.
1. Open the cable access door on the CNI unit.
2. Crimp the wire pairs using bootlace connectors. Connect the
twisted pairs for C-Bus positive (+) and C-Bus negative (-) to the
screw terminals on the PCB connector. The C-Bus network cable
wire colour assignments are defined in Figure 7.
Note: You can install a second set of twisted pairs to daisy chain to
another C-Bus device. For best results, use bootlace crimp connectors.
3. Install the plastic strain relief piece. The strain relief is in the shape
of the letter 'H.'
4. Close the access door. The CNI is now ready for attachment to the
router and busbar.
C-Bus Connection Colour
C-Bus Positive (+) blue
C-Bus Negative (–) blue & white
C-Bus Positive (+) orange
C-Bus Negative (–) orange & white
Figure 7. C-Bus cable details for the C-Bus network
Note: Wireless C-Bus devices require a C-Bus Wireless Gateway unit. They do not
communicate directly with the Wiser Home Controller's wireless LAN.

3.5 Step 2, Assemble the Router, CNI and Busbar
Assemble the Wiser Home Controller's router, CNI and busbar to form a
single unit. Use the instructions below:
1. Install the three antennas on the Wiser Home Controller's router
box. The antennas must be installed to prevent internal damage to
the wireless transceivers.
2. Using the link that is attached to the CNI, connect the CNI and the
router together. If you have not already connected the pink C-Bus
cable to the CNI terminals, do this now. See Section 3.4.
3. Carefully attach the busbar (power and network cable connector) to
the sides of the Home Control's router and the CNI. Be sure that the
RJ-45 plugs make good connections.
4. The assembled unit is ready for wall or desktop placement.

3.7 Step 4, Connect your Configuration PC
You can now connect and test the connection to the customer's C-Bus
network using the Wiser Home Controller and the inline CNI.
1. Connect the configuration PC to one of the open RJ-45 LAN
connectors on the Wiser Home Controller. You may use the Wiser
Home Controller's wireless LAN, if preferred.
2. Connect the power supply wire to the busbar power port. Plug the
power supply unit into a wall power outlet.
Use only the power supply provided with the Wiser Home
Controller. Using a different supply unit might cause product
damage or erratic performance.
After you have connected the configuration PC and C-Bus network, you can
use the LEDs on the Wiser Home Controller's router and CNI to verify LAN
and C-Bus network connections (See Section 4). If you have problems,
check all signal and power connections.
Monitor the Indicator Lights
When the Wiser Home Controller unit is powered on, the router performs a
self-test cycle. During the cycle, the Diag lamp is on. It might take a minute
or two for the light to go out. The Diag lamp might flash intermittently, but
after initialisation it should not be on continuously.
