Extron electronic 3200s Setting BME Addresses, Connecting the BME Comm interconnecting cables

The following restrictions apply to installing BMEs:

•One BME must be assigned as BME #0.

•BME #0 cannot be a Sync module.

•Address assignments must not skip numbers.

•Address assignments of 0 - 5 are accepted, BMEs w/address 6-9 are ignored.

•A system is limited to one audio module.

•A system may NOT include both Wideband video and Low Resolution video modules.

2.Setting BME Addresses

Each BME must be set to a unique address of 0 - 5 using a pushbutton switch located on the rear panel (see Figure 2-2.B, Item 1). BME #0 will be the Main Controller and may be any module except the Sync module.

3. Connecting the BME COMM interconnecting cable(s)

If there is more than one BME, the BME COMM connectors must all be connected together in daisy chain fashion using Extron supplied RJ-11 telephone cable (Figure 2-2.A). The chain begins at the BME COMM OUT connector of BME #0 (See Item 2 in Figure 2-2.B) and connects to the BME COMM IN connector of the closest BME, that BME’s BME COMM OUT connector is then connected to the next closest BME if necessary. Repeat this process until all BMEs will have two empty BME COMM connectors).
