Step 3. Connect a standard CAT5e/6 Ethernet cable to the HDBaseT (Ethernet) port of the Pacific

X-HDUTP, and connect the other end to the HDBaseT (Ethernet) port of the Pacific MS’ SIB-T
card. The distance between the two devices can be up to 100 meters. Repeat the step for all
outputs from the Pacific X-HDUP chassis.

Connect Pacific MS to remote monitors:

Step 4. Connect a standard CAT5e/6 Ethernet cable to the HDBaseT (Ethernet) port of the Pacific MS’

SOB-T card, and connect the other end to the HDBaseT (Ethernet) port of the Pacific X-HDUR.
The distance between the two devices can be up to 100 meters. Repeat the step for all outputs
from the SOB-T card.

Step 5. Connect a HDMI or DVI (through a HDMI to DVI adapter) monitor to the HDMI port of each

Pacific X-HDUR.

Step 6. Connect a set of mouse and keyboard to the USB type A ports

on the Pacific X-HDUR for

remote access to the routed computer. Only the Pacific X-HDUR connected to HDBaseT 1 or 3
of the SOB-T card requires mouse/keyboard connection.

Connect Pacific MS’ in-system GUI to remote display:

Step 7. Connect a standard CAT5e/6 Ethernet cable to the HDBaseT (Ethernet) port on the Pacific MS’

control card, and connect the other end to the HDBaseT (Ethernet) port of the Pacific X-HDUR.
The distance between the two devices can be up to 100 meters.

Step 8. Connect a HDMI or DVI (through a HDMI to DVI adapter) monitor to the HDMI port of the Pacific

X-HDUR for extended in-system GUI display.

Step 9. Connect a set of mouse and keyboard to the USB type A ports

of the Pacific X-HDUR for

extended in-system GUI control.

Step 10. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to your Pacific MS to power it on. Also power on the Pacific

X-HDUP and X-HDUR with their own power supplies. All connected monitors will load the
Avitech logo upon system power-on.

Step 11. After the boot logo on the HDMI OUT monitor finishes loading, the in-system GUI will appear

and the Pacific MS is ready to operate.

1. Avitech recommends using CAT6 cables or better (shielded cables) for optimum performance.
2. For the SOB-T card, only HDBaseT 1 and HDBaseT 3 are capable of receiving USB mouse/keyboard

control signals from the Pacific X-HDUR; HDBaseT 2 and HDBaseT 4 transmit video signals only.

3. Non-standard keyboards (E.g., keyboards with a USB hub, keyboards that need driver installation and

programmable keyboard, etc.) are not supported.
