Extron electronic GSS 100 manual Power Connection, Signal Connections, Remote Connections, Cabling

Power Connection

AAC 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

BRGB Pass-through connectors — Connect a high resolution or computer input (VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, or UXGA) to these female BNC connectors.

COutput connectors — Connect an RGB video display or other device to these female BNC connectors (see figure 3 to connect the RGB video format for each configuration).

Figure 3. Video Output Connection Format

NOTE: The 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

Ethernet connection

DLAN port — Connect the GSS to a PC or to an Ethernet LAN, via this RJ-45 connector. You can use the HTML pages embedded in the GSS 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.

Activity Link

LED LED

Link LED indicator — The green (link) LED indicates that the GSS 100 is properly connected to an Ethernet LAN. This LED should light steadily.

Act LED indicator — The yellow (activity) LED indicates transmission of data packets on the RJ-45 connector. This LED should flicker as the GSS 100 communicates.

Cabling

It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cable type and that they be correctly terminated with the proper connector pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or 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 feet (100 m).

NOTES: • Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do 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 100 supports both

10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections.

zz10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.

zz100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.
