Base Station Receiver
The receiver includes a USB type B connector and an Ethernet connector (IEEE 802.3af) on the
front of the unit for connection to the console (USB) or to a switch in your Net3 network
USB
When the base station is connected directly to a console by USB type B, the
RFR is powered by and controls only the console the base station is connected
to. ETC supplies a 1.8m (6 ft.) USB cable for base station connection to a
console or USB hub. The maximum distance between products is 5m (16 ft.).
When the base station is connected to Eos/Ion using USB, the RFR remote will
automatically connect to that console when powered.
Ethernet
For use with the Ion console, the base station will need to be plugged into an
ethernet switch. If the switch is not power over ethernet, the base station can receive power via
USB from the console.
Console Section Mode
Holding down [.] while the remote is booting up will take you to the
console selection list. This mode is used to select between Direct
USB mode, Base USB mode, or available host consoles for
networking.
N o t e : For single base station use, no configuration is needed if defaults are used. For
multiple base stations, custom configurations, and connection issues, further
configuration will be needed.
C A U T I O N : You may use either the ethernet connection or the USB connection for data to the
console, but not both.
N o t e : If multiple RFR units are to be used separately within a range of each other’s
receiver units, change the frequency and/or ID settings to avoid conflicts.
Reference Change Frequency and ID Setting below for more information.
For optimal operation, set the base stations apart by at least 5m (16 ft.) to ensure
the two units do not interfere with each other’s operation.
