3.Connect the video connector on the transmitter to the appropriately labeled port on the back of the workstation.

NOTE: A VGA-only workstation can be connected to the transmitter using a VGA to DVI-I adaptor. You must configure the transmitter video settings for VGA through the serial menu. For more information, see Configuring

Video Input Settings on page 18.

4.Connect the transmitter’s audio and microphone connectors to the appropriately labeled ports on the back of the workstation.

NOTE: For CD-quality audio, you must configure the Transmitter and the Receiver using the serial menu. For more information, see Audio Performance Settings on page 26.

5.Connect one end of the UTP cable to the transmitter’s RJ-45 connector.

6.Turn on the workstation.

7.Route the other end of the UTP cable to the location you have chosen for the receiver. If necessary, you can extend the UTP cable via junctions or a hub (subject to normal Ethernet cabling practices).

The transmitter draws electrical power from two USB ports on the remote workstation. One USB port is not sufficient to turn on the transmitter. If you have only one USB port on your remote workstation, you will need to order an external power supply for the transmitter from Avocent.
