3.4.2BILINX

–Ensure that only one BILINX device is connected to the PC. For example, only one VP-USB may be connected to a PC at one time. In addition, disconnect the video output from the AutoDome from any other BILINX controller during a firmware upgrade.

–Confirm that all connections are correct and that the maximum recommended distance has not been exceeded.

–Confirm that there is a direct coax connection to the dome. BILINX cannot be transmitted through fiber without special fiber modules. BILINX also cannot be passed through analog distribution amplifiers, with the exception to the Bosch LTC 5231/90 and

LTC 5234/90.

–Confirm that the coax signal is correctly terminated with only one 75 ohm load.
