Section 4: Signal Installation Overview
For specific details on installing the communications, consult the quick guide and manual included with the
communication equipment. Each type of communication is listed below with its manual number.
Note: These are the standard communication types but each site is unique and may include additional equipment. If
problems arise, contact the display’s service company or Daktronics Customer Service.
4.1 Primary/Mirror Display Interconnections
If this display is a two-sided primary/mirror display, a quick-connect cable
is provided to connect the signal between the two faces. Refer to
for an example. Secure the excess cable to the support structure to prevent
damage from weather or vandalism.
4.2 USB to Ethernet Adapter
A USB to Ethernet adapter is included with the display and can be used
to bypass network configuration in situations where simple point-to-point
communication is required. The adapter creates a secondary network that
is dedicated to communication with the display, but network operation is
still enabled through the primary network.
The USB to Ethernet Adapter can be used in conjunction with
communication kits supplied with the display. Refer to
for
more information regarding the adapter.
