Insure all three twisted pair cables are firmly seated in the correct receptacles.

No output signal or poor quality signal — Check the integrity of the UTP or STP cables between the transmitter and the receiver.

NThe transmitter and receiver pair works with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables. To ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, and for optimum performance, STP cables are recommended.

•Ensure that the twisted pair cables are terminated correctly and to the same standard at both ends (see "Terminating shielded cable" on page 2-14).

•Ensure that each RJ-45 connector is firmly seated in its receptacle and that each transmitter port is connected to the correct receiver port (see pages 2-14 and 2-15).

•Ensure that the length of the twisted pair cable does not exceed the guidelines for single link or dual link connections (see page 2-16).

Image loss or jitter — DVI signals run at very high frequency and are especially susceptible to bad video connections, too many adapters, or cables that are too long. To avoid loss of an image or introduction of image jitter:

•The DVI cable on the input to the transmitter or the output from the receiver should not exceed 10' (3 m).

•Use only cable designed for DVI signals.

•Limit or avoid the use of adapters, patch panels, or couplers with the input DVI cables, the output DVI cables, and/or the twisted pair cables. Additional links in the chain reduce signal integrity and overall cable length performance.

•Always turn on the display before the DVI video source in order for the source to retrieve the DDC from the display.

No video signal or incorrect resolution or refresh rate — If the source device is not able to obtain EDID information when it is being powered on, it may not be able to send a video signal or the signal may have the wrong resolution or refresh rate.

•Ensure that the DDC DIP switches are set correctly for the EDID source (see pages 3-2 to 3-5).

•The source device must be powered on after the display device providing the EDID source has been powered on.

Incorrect color or tint — Ensure that the twisted pair cables are terminated correctly and to the same standard on both ends of the cable (see page 2-14 and 2-15).
