RNET CONTROL INSTALLATION
The following procedure outlines how to set up the BGD2 Power Dock and its adapters for an RNET multiroom audio system.
1. Locate devices
Set the iBridge Power Dock in the room where the iPod will be located. Locate a power outlet near the power dock where the BGDA Dock Adapter will be located.
Place the BGCA Controller Adapter next to the RNET controller.
2. Connect BGCA
With the audio system turned off, use an RJ45
Note: the BGCA can be part of an RNET link daisy chain to the next RNET component in the system.
Connect an RCA stereo audio cable from the BGCA to the desired source input location on the back of the RNET controller.
Note: set the source/function selector on the BGCA to the same source number assignment as the numbered source input the BGCA is connected to on the RNET controller.
3. Power the controller
Plug the BGCA into a live AC outlet and power on the RNET controller. Temporarily plug the BGDA Dock Adapter into a live AC outlet near the BGCA to perform binding assurance procedure.
4. Bind the system
To bind the two adapter devices, press and release the binding button on the bottom of the BGDA. The binding LED should blink fast for two seconds, then blink slowly for 60 seconds. During this
For systems with multiple Power Docks, perform the complete binding procedure for each set of adapters before moving to the next to ensure proper binding between pairs.
If the system has configured itself properly, the green binding LEDs on the front of the adapters will illuminate. Once the binding procedure is successfully completed between adapters, the BGDA can then be moved to the Power Dock location.
5. Connect iBridge Power Dock
Crimp an RJ45 connector to each end of a
6. Program RNET system
Follow the RNET system’s programming instructions to configure the iBridge Power Dock as a peripheral device type. If the system includes
7. Check iPod operation
With the RNET system controller and both adapters powered, place an iPod in the Power Dock. The "Docked" LED on the BGDA Dock Adapter and BGCA Controller Adapter should both be solid on.
Using an RNET remote control, or the RNET keypad, send a command to the iPod. The iPod should respond to the command, and the activity LED on the BGDA and BGCA should be on and blink periodically.
8. Reset a previously bound BGDA and/or BGCA
To reset a previously bound BGDA or BGCA, plug in the unit(s). If the binding LED is on, clear the existing binding by pressing and holding both binding buttons until the binding LED goes off (about 10 seconds). Then proceed to bind the adapters (step #4).
