3.4 Multi-Court Scoreboard Signal Connection
Connect a 1 /
4
" phone plug cable between the J32 SIGNAL OUT jack on the first scoreboard
section to the J31 SIGNAL IN jack on next scoreboard section. Repeat this process until all
scoreboard sections are connected. Refer to Drawing B-233254 in Appendix B.
For the Team Score sections, route the digit
cables though the holes in the sides of the
cabinets, and connect them to the mating
jacks on the driver or sectional interconnect
cables. Optional TNMCs (if installed) use
power/signal interconnect cables. Refer to
Figure 11 and the table at right.
Signal Connection with TNMCs
For multi-court scoreboards using team name message centers (TNMCs), signal installation
also requires a wireless base station to receive the signal from the handheld RC-100
controllers, a computer running DakTennis™ software, and a signal converter to send the
wired signal to the display. Refer to Drawing B-231298 in Appendix A.
1. Plug in the wireless base station (part # 0A-1110-0037) within 12' (3.6 m) of the
DakTennis computer. Ensure the wireless base station is set to Function “5”.
2. Connect the 9-pin serial cable (part # W-1267) between the RS232 jack of the wireless
base station and an available COM port on the DakTennis computer.
Note: If the DakTennis computer only has only one or no COM port, it will be
necessary to use USB-to-Serial converters (not provided by Daktronics).
3. Connect the other 9-pin serial cable between the DakTennis computer and the J1 jack
of a signal converter (part # 0A-1065-0173).
4. At a minimum, use a paired, 22 AWG shielded cable (part # W-1077) and connect the
cable from the TB1 jack of the signal converter to a 1 /
4
" J-box.
5. Route the cable from the J-box on the control end to a J-box near the display.
