1. On each TP-400FW unit, connect
the power cord
2. Connect the CAT-5 Straight RJ45 connector on the first TP-400FW unit
to the CAT-5 Crossed RJ45 connector on the second TP-400FW unit,
when using a straight pin to pin cable with RJ-45 connectors
It is possible to connect the power cord to only one of the TP-400FW
units. (In this case, the other TP-400FW unit will derive its power
from that unit via the CAT-5 cable). The CAT-5 STRAIGHT
connector is always the source of the power, and the CAT-5
CROSSED connector is always the acceptor of the power.
If you are using a crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors, connect the
CAT-5 Straight RJ45 connector on the first TP-400FW unit to the CAT-5
Straight RJ45 connector on the second TP-400FW unit
3. Connect a FireWire device (for example, a PC) to the FW PORT (R) or
(F) on the first TP-400FW unit, and a FireWire device (for example, a
Webcam) to the FW PORT (R) or (F) on the second TP-400FW unit.
.
4. Be sure that the source and acceptor are powered-up (from their own power
supply or via the TP-400FW FireWire bus).
The relevant CONNECTION STATUS green LEDs light (see items 2, 3, 4
and 5 in Table 1).
Notes:
•
Apply the same rules for both source and destination FireWire
equipment (that is, first connect the power to both TP-400FW units and
only then connect the Firewire cables)
•
When reconnecting two TP-400FW units, first disconnect the cable,
and only then reconnect them
•
Wait 5 seconds (after completing all the connections) for the picture
to appear on the destination device. If the picture fails to appear on the
destination device after 5 seconds, press the RESET Button to reboot the
setup.
Wait another 5 seconds for the picture to appear on the destination device

3 Alternatively, connect the CAT-5 Crossed RJ45 connector on the first TP-400FW unit to the CAT-5 Straight RJ45
connector on the second TP-400FW unit
4 Alternatively, connect the CAT-5 Crossed RJ45 connector on the first TP-400FW unit to the CAT-5 Crossed RJ45
