Wiring the Local Area Network (LAN) Port

Wire the connector as shown in the tables below.

•For 10Base-T (10 Mbps) networks, use a Category 3 or better cable.

•For 100Base-T (100 Mbps) networks, use a Category 5 cable.

•Use a straight-through cable to connect to a switch, hub, or router.

•Use a crossover cable to connect directly to a computer.

A cable that is wired as T568A at one end and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs reversed) is a "crossover" cable.

A cable that is wired the same at both ends is called a "straight-through" cable, because no pin or pair assignments are swapped.

Wiring for IR Control

If you intend to control the display device via infrared (IR) commands from the PC1, wire an Extron IR emitter to a 3.5 mm, 2-pole captive screw connector (provided), and plug the 2-pole connector into the IR Signal and Ground pins (pins 3 and 4) of the shared captive screw connector on the rear panel.

Alternatively, you can wire the IR emitter to pins 3 and 4 of the provided 4-pole captive screw plug (and, if desired, also wire a contact closure device to pins 1 and 2 of the same

4-pole connector; see “Wiring the Contact Input Port” on the next page). Plug the wired 4-pole connector into the rear panel Input/IR connector.

The PC1 provides enough current to power one IR Emitter up to 4000 feet, or up to four emitters for 100 feet each (see figure 7, below).

In S G

The PC1 can power a single IR Emitter up to 4000 feet, or four emitters wired in parallel up to 100 feet each.

NOTE: Place the head of the IR emitter over or directly adjacent to the IR receiver of the controlled device.
