Introduction
Welcome
The SI-2 System Integrator provides a vital link point
between any iCANnet network and a third party device
such as an audio visual unit. The compact SI-2 System
Integrator provides a 5-way connector block at one end
for the iCANnet link and a 9-pin D-type female socket
at the other end for the RS232 serial connection to the
third party device.
Using the intuitive iCANsoft application, you can pro-
gram the SI-2 to search for particular actions or mes-
sages received from other control units attached to the
iCANnet network. When a received action or message
matches a stored template, the SI-2 will send a control
message to the device connected via the serial port.
Similarly, the SI-2 also monitors messages being sent
back from the connected serial device and when any of
those messages match those stored within its memory,
a range of actions can be triggered on the iCANnet
network.
The SI-2 System Integrator can store up to 100 input
and output messages together with their related actions.
Additionally, the SI-2 can store up to 16 sequences,
each of which can comprise up to 128 separate steps to
allow multiple actions to be triggered by a single com-
mand.

Connections
iCANnet wiring
Cable connections to the iCANnet network are made to
a removable 5-way connector block located at one end
of the SI-2 unit:
Termination off
Termination on
iCANnet termination
The iCANnet link is a ‘daisy chain’ protocol that requires
termination on the devices located at either end of the
iCANnet chain.
The SI-2 unit is supplied with termination enabled as
standard. If it is not connected as an end device in the
iCANnet chain, you need to disable termination.
Note: The connection to the serial device is treated
separately and has no impact on whether or not the SI-2
should be terminated.
To disable SI-2 termination, move the jumper from the
lower two pins to the upper two pins, as shown here:

iCANnet announce button
The SI-2 unit features a small button adjacent to the
green connector which can be used to add the device to
an iCANnet network. When pressed, the SI-2 will send
an announcement message across the iCANnet net-
work. Please see the section ‘Adding the SI-2 to
iCANsoft’ for more details.
