MAC ID Sticker
GETTING STARTED (CONT’D)
Locating the MAC ID
The Media Access Control Address (MAC ID), tells
the IntelliControl ICS Modular MultiZone Receiver
which device, in this case an ICS Single Keypad,
is sending commands. The IntelliControl ICS Mod-
ular MultiZone Receiver then knows which zone to
turn on and which source to select for that zone
based on the MAC ID it is assigned to.

GETTING STARTED (CONT’D)
Filling Out the GXR2 Installation
Worksheet
The GXR2 Installation Worksheet, included with
the IntelliControl ICS Modular MultiZone Receiver
(and available for download at www.nilesaudio.
com), provides spaces for placing the MAC ID
stickers next to the name of the zone they are
located in. Take special care in associating the
correct MAC ID sticker with the right zone on the
worksheet. Two MAC ID stickers are found on the
keypad. Remove one of the stickers and place it
next to the zone it is located in on the worksheet.
DO NOT REMOVE BOTH STICKERS FROM THE
KEYPAD. It may become necessary to reference
the keypad sticker for troubleshooting if the sys-
tem is not performing properly and be able to
make changes in the IntelliFile 3 software.

INSTALLATION (CONT’D)
Wiring Termination Diagram
The IntelliControl ICS Keypads connect to an In-
telliControl ICS Modular MultiZone Receiver via
CAT-5 cable. For the system to function properly,
all runs of CAT-5 must be pulled, in home-runs,
from each keypad location to the system head end
where the MultiZone Receiver and other system
components will be located.
The runs of CAT-5 must be terminated with RJ-45
connectors using the T-568A pinout configuration
as follows:
Pin# Descrip. Color Code
1 TX+ White/Green
2 TX– Green
3 RX+ White/Orange
4 IR Signal Blue
5 IR Ground White/Blue
6 RX– Orange
7 UI Power White/Brown
8 UI Ground Brown
Note: TX+ = transmit, RX+ = receive, UI = user interface.
