Preparing Your Site
1. Determine where the local video source (i.e. computer, PVR/DVR) will be located and
physically set up the video source device.
2. Determine where the remote display(s) will be located and place/mount the
display(s) appropriately.
Please note that both extender units (transmitter/receiver) will require a power
connection, so please ensure that each unit will be situated near an available electrical
outlet.
3. If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Cat5 unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) Ethernet cabling to connect the Transmitter Unit to the Receiver Unit’s
location, and that each end is terminated with a RJ45 Ethernet connector. The
cabling should not go through any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).
OR
If you are using premise cabling, ensure that the Cat5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
Ethernet Cabling between the Transmitter Unit and the Receiver Unit has been
properly terminated in a wall outlet/panel in each location and there is a patch
cable long enough to connect the Receiver Unit and the Transmitter Unit to their
respective outlets. The cabling should not go through any networking equipment
(i.e. router, switch).
