Troubleshooting

Configuration and Operation, cont’d

Setup

1. Determine which source will be used for the EDID information and configure the DDC switches appropriately (see pages 3-2 to 3-5). If necessary, use the EDID Minder to read and store information from a display (see pages 3-2 to 3-3).

2. Prepare twisted pair cables (see "Terminating shielded cable" on page 2-14).

3. Connect the transmitter to the receiver (see "Connections" on page 2-15)

4. Connect the source device to the transmitter (see "DVI‑D input" on page 2-12). Do not power on the source device at this time.

5. Connect the display device to the receiver (see "DVI‑D output" on page 2-12). If required, connect a local monitor to the transmitter.

6. If required, connect any RS-232 or IR control devices (see "Control pass-through" on pages 2-18 to 2-19).

7. Connect the power supply to the transmitter (see "Power input" on page 2-20).

8. Power on the display device.

9. Power on and boot up the source device.

If the DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx does not provide a high quality output signal, check the following possibilities before contacting your Extron representative (see the back cover for contact information). Be sure to read all the suggestions as many of the issues have several possible solutions.

No output signal — Check that the front panel LEDs for both the transmitter and receiver are on (lit amber). If they are not, check the power supply connections to the units.

If a single power supply is being used to power both units, it must be connected to the transmitter.

NDo not try to power both units with a single power supply connected to the receiver as that will not provide adequate power to the transmitter.

There are some circumstances, particularly with longer Unsheilded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable runs, where the receiver may not get adequate power. Under these circumstances, it may be necessary to use two separate power supplies, one for the transmitter and one for the receiver.
