MAKING CONNECTIONS

RNET Link In and Link Out - Multiple Controllers

The RNET Link In and Link Out is used to con- nect two or more (up to 6) CAV6.6 or CAM6.6 controllers. The connection is made using a CAT-5 patch cable from the Link Out of the mas- ter controller and into the Link In of the next controller. Along with RNET data signals, the RNET Link In and Link Out jack passes the six source IR signals. The CAT-5 patch cable should not exceed 18 inches in length to avoid potential cross-talk between the source-specific IR repeat- ing signal lines. These are only for source-specif- ic IR remote repeating, not codes initiated from the controller’s internal IR library.

Note: If two or more CAV6.6 controllers will be connected using the RNET Link In and Link Out ports, each controller must have a unique Controller ID (see Controller Setup - Flow Chart on page 73) prior to being connected through the RNET ports. The Controller ID assignment must be performed during the Controller Setup section of the Installation menu.

Controller #1 is always the LAST controller to be powered on in a multi-controller system.
