Introduction
The ELAN SC1 is a serial to ViaNet interface that provides
integration of legacy ViaNet devices with the ELAN gSC2, gSC10
and g1 (g Series) controllers. Specifically the SC1 allows the
g Series controllers to communicate with the ELAN S1616A,
M86A and TS2 and TS2L. It may provide interface to additional
ELAN ViaNet legacy components, but components other than
those listed in the previous sentence have not been tested and
are not supported. You should test the SC1 with devices other
than those listed above prior to committing your customer to
an unsupported upgrade path.
Features

to ELAN ViaNet protocol communications
•Convenient RJ-45 to RJ-45 connections
•LED activity indicator for easy troubleshooting
•g! Controller Programming
Please consult the latest SC1 integration note for
proper g! System Controller configuration.

Installation
Connecting the ELAN SC-1 to the serial port of a gSC2, gSC10 or g1 System Controller.
gSC2 & gSC10:
Using the included RJ-45 to RJ-45 crossover cable (P/N 7600218) to connect the
“RS232 CONTROL” port of the SC1 to an open serial port on gSC2 or gSC10 (Figure 2-1).
If you need a crossover cable longer than what has been included see appendix A
for wiring instructions. (figure 2-1)
Installation
g1:
Connect the SC1 to the g1 Serial Dongle (supplied with g1) using the RJ-45 to RJ-45
Crossover Cable (P/N 7600218) (supplied with SC1) and a DB9 female to RJ-45 Null Adapter
(P/N 8900599, not included).Alternative connection method: use a straight-through RJ-45
cable (not included) and a DB9 Female to RJ-45 Adapter (P/N 8900598, not included)
to connect to the g1 Serial Dongle (supplied with g1). (Figure 2-2)
Connecting the SC1 to an S1616A or M86A:
Using a ViaNET cable (see appendix B for wiring instructions) connect from the ViaNET
OUT port on the SC-1 to the ViaNET IN port on the S1616A or M86A (shown).
(figure 2-3)
Operation Diagnostics
The SC1 LED Indicator is an excellent source of information. It provides visual feedback
determining operational status.
Connecting the SC1 to a TS2 or TS2L:
Using a ViaNet cable (see appendix B for wiring instructions) connect from the ViaNET OUT
port on the SC1 to the ViaNET IN port on a PPVN, PVIA1, PVIA4, PVIA10, SPP or similar
Precision Panel. The SC1 does not supply power for ViaNET devices. Precision Panels require
their own power supply and this will supply power to the TS2 or TS2L.
