CAT5 MULTI VGA SYSTEM
3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Data Mode Configuration
For serial 1-port versions only:
Configure the internal Universal Digital Board (UDB)
if you want to change the transmitters/receivers from simplex operation (default)
to bidirectional operation. (See
Appendix C
.) This configuration should be done
before making any cable connections and applying power.
3.2 Cabling Considerations
• We recommend mounting and connecting all cabling to the CAT5 Multi VGA
System components before applying power.
• Makes sure that the CAT5 cable you intend to use has been tested to comply with
the TIA/EIA 568B wiring specification.
• We recommend that you use only CAT5 cable with the CAT5 Multi VGA System.
If you must use CAT5e or CAT6 cable, call Technical Support.

ENERAL
This section contains figures showing connections with the specific CAT5 Multi
VGA System models. In general, however, the connection and setup procedure at
both transmitter and receiver ends is as follows:
At the transmitter end:
1. Connect the source video to the CAT5 Multi VGA System transmitter video input
port, which is an HD15 connector labeled SOURCE IN.
2. If desired, attach a local monitor via the local monitor port to LOCAL OUT.
NOTE
The single-port units with audio have a single audio input. So, for audio
capabilities on the attached monitor, you’ll need an audio splitter.
3. Make your audio or serial connections.
For audio versions:
Connect the audio input to the AUDIO jack.
For RS-232 versions:
Connect the serial input to the RS-232 (DB9 female) port.
