Power connection

A	AC power connector — Plug a standard IEC power cord into
	this connector to connect the GSS to a 100 VAC to 240 VAC,
	50 or 60 Hz power source.
Signal connections
B	RGB Pass-through connectors — Connect a high resolution or
	computer input (VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, or UXGA) to these
	female, BNC connectors.
C	Output connectors — Connect an RGB video display or other
	device to these female BNC connectors. Figure 2-3 shows how
	to connect the RGB video format for each configuration.

Figure 2-3 — Video output connection format

NThe still image output format (RGBHV or RGBS) must be configured using the front panel controls or a Simple Instruction Set™ (SIS™) command. The output format applies only to the output of still images stored in the GSS; the RGB Pass-through video is output exactly as it is input.

Remote connections

D	LAN port — Connect the GSS to a PC or to an Ethernet LAN,
	via this RJ-45 connector. You can use the GSS’s embedded
	HTML pages to upload still images from the PC to the GSS and
	to control the GSS. You can also use a PC to control the GSS
	with SIS commands.
	Ethernet connection indicators — The Link and Activity
				LEDs indicate the status of the Ethernet
				connection. The Link LED indicates that the GSS
				is properly connected to an Ethernet LAN. This
				LED should light steadily. The Activity LED
				LED should light steadily. The Activity LED
	Activity		Link	indicates transmission of data packets on the
	LED	LED		RJ-45 connector. This LED flickers as the GSS

communicates.

Cabling and RJ-45 connector wiring

It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cables, and that they be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 5e or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 328’ (100 m).

NDo not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables will not support Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.

Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.

The cable used depends on your network speed. The GSS supports both 10 MBps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 MBps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections.

•10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.

•100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.

The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and must be properly terminated for your application (figure 2-4).

•Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the GSS 100.

•Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the GSS 100 to an Ethernet LAN.
