Installation & Setup

To link two Octaire enclosures:

1.Insert one end of the crossover cable into the lower LINK port on the primary enclosure (the one with the control panel).

2.Insert the other end of the crossover cable into the upper LINK port on the secondary enclosure.

When power is applied, the LINK connector LEDs illuminate indicating communication status between enclosures (see FIG. 12 on page 21).

Linking Three or More Octaire Enclosures

In a multi-enclosure system, link the Octaire enclosures together in a daisy chain via the LINK (RJ-45) ports using the provided crossover cables.

Each video enclosure has a label that designates the signal type on the rear:

STD (standard video) – supports composite signals or the Y or c components of Y/c signals

UWB (ultra-wideband) – supports three-component signals or the R, G, or B components of RGBHV signals

SYNC (digital sync) – supports the H or V components of RGBHV signals

Start with the primary enclosure (the one with the control panel) for the first video component type (e.g., R for RGBHV). Secondary enclosures of the same signal type (e.g., G and B or H and V) are interchangeable. Link the remaining enclosures according to the “Octaire AutoPatch Connector Guide” (see page 96) and to the signal type labels on the rear of the enclosures. The audio enclosure is always last.

Link cable – crossover or straight-through (be consistent)

Length of provided crossover cables: 3 ft. (0.9 m)

FIG. 11 Use the LINK ports to link enclosures with the provided cable or up to 100 ft. (30.5 m) apart

To link three or more Octaire enclosures:

1.Insert one end of the crossover cable into the lower LINK port on the primary enclosure (the one with the control panel).

2.Insert the other end of the crossover cable into the upper LINK port on the second enclosure.

3.For each additional enclosure in the system, attach crossover cables connecting from one enclosure’s LINK port to the next until all enclosures in the system are linked together according to the “Octaire AutoPatch Connector Guide” (page 96).

When power is applied, the LINK connector LEDs illuminate indicating communication status between enclosures (see FIG. 12).
