Installation
NOTE: To prevent potential electrical damage to the units in some environments, ensure that
the chassis is properly grounded. Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and
machines that are likely to generate electrical noise.
This product is composed of two different units: the Local Unit and the Remote Unit. The Local
Unit takes the output from an analog audio and VGA video signal source (usually a computer)
and transmits it to the Remote Unit over UTP Ethernet cable. The remote display(s) (monitor,
projector, etc) and speaker(s) connect to the Remote Unit using standard VGA and 3.5mm mini-
jack connections respectively and displays the image and audio from the local computer onto
the remote display(s) and speaker(s).
Preparing Your Site
1. Determine where the local computer will be located and set up the computer.
2. Determine where the remote display(s) will be located and place/mount them appropriately.
3. If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
Ethernet cabling to connect the Local Unit to the Remote Unit’s location, and that each end is
terminated with a RJ45 connector. Make sure the cabling does not go through any standard
networking equipment (i.e. routers, modems, switches, etc).
OR
If you are using premise cabling, ensure that the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet
Cabling between the Local Unit and the Remote Unit has been properly terminated in a wall
outlet in each location and there is a patch cable long enough to connect the Remote Unit
and the Local Unit to their respective outlets. Make sure the cabling does not go through any
standard networking equipment (i.e. routers, modems, switches, etc).
