Optional Output Connection

FDVI output connector (optional) — If the optional DVI output card is installed, connect a DVI/DFP-compatible video display to this DVI connector. This connector outputs the image selected for output 1 only.

NOTE: For output resolutions with less than 1024 pixels horizontally, the optional DVI output’s true horizontal resolution is limited to 1024 pixels. For the

1365 x 1024, 1080p, and 1080i output resolutions, the optional DVI output’s true horizontal resolution is limited to 1280 pixels. The DVI card outputs all other selected resolutions normally (see the table on page 20).

Ethernet Connection

GEthernet port — If desired, connect the switcher to an Ethernet LAN or WAN via this RJ-45 connector. Ethernet control allows the operator to control the switcher from a remote location. When connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN, the switcher can be accessed and operated from a computer running a standard Internet browser.

Ethernet connection indicators — The Link and Act LEDs indicate the status of the Ethernet connection.

The Link LED indicates that the switcher is properly connected to an Ethernet LAN. This LED should light steadily.

The Act LED indicates transmission of data packets on the RJ-45 connector. This LED should flicker as the switcher 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.

Choosing a network cable

Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 4, 5, 5e, or 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to 328 feet (100 m).

NOTES:

•Do 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 ISM 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, at a minimum, CAT 3 UTP or STP cable.

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