communications connector. If desired, terminate the other end of the cable and plug it into a communications connector on an optional control module.

Step 7

Verify correct wiring and cabling, and test the system: connect the devices to a power source, turn them on, aim an IR remote control at the IRL 20, and check for the appropriate response at the remotely controlled Extron device.

Step 8

If needed, disconnect all the devices from the power source(s), and correct any cabling errors.

Step 9

Restore power to the equipment.
