MediaLink Controllers • Installation 2-14
Application diagram
An example of one way to connect accessories to the controller is shown in the
photo below. The Config port is not shown with an RS-232 cable attached because
that connection is only required during setup.
This system includes an MLC mounted in an optional faceplate (MLM-LAAP) that
holds two control modules (IRCMs, ACMs,
and/or RCMs), and an additional
control module is connected to the upper IRCM and mounted in another location.
An IR Link infrared repeater shares the IR/RCM port with the control modules (a
much longer cable than the one shown here would be used). IR Emitters are
connected to the MLC for controlling a VCR, DVD player, tape player or other
source device, and/or projector. An RS-232 connection to the projector could be
made from the adjacent RS-232 Display/Source Control port. Note the wiring on
both ends of the cable that connects the MLC’s MLS/Power port to an MediaLink
Switcher (MLS).
