Install the USB Endpoint

The USB endpoint uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) and mounts in a
North American, unobstructed, 1-gang electrical box (not included). A
minimum mounting depth of 2 in. (51 mm) is required. The
DM-NUX-L2-1G also receives power from the USB host port.

The DM-NUX-L2-1G and DM-NUX-R2-1G may be used without a control
system or DigitalMedia™ system to offer point-to-point USB extension
over a LAN or a dedicated CAT5e (or higher) cable.

NOTE: A ferrite bead is provided to reduce or prevent EMI
(electromagnetic interference). When using a power source other
than PoE, Crestron recommends installing this ferrite bead on the
power supply cable close to the device.

Connect the USB Endpoints

Connect the DM-NUX-L2-1G and DM-NUX-R2-1G.

NOTE: Signal routing is not supported when the DM-NUX-L2-1G and
DM-NUX-R2-1G are used to provide point-to-point USB extension or
when PoE is not being used. In addition, a separate 24V 0.75A power
supply is needed.

1. Feed the CAT5e (or better) shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable through

the opening on the top of the electrical box.

NOTES:

l

To comply with the European Directive (CE), Crestron
recommends using high-quality, solid core CAT5e (or better)
shielded twisted pair (STP) cable.

l

The CAT5e (or better) cable must have a straight-through
conductor configuration with no crossovers and must be
terminated with 8-conductor RJ45 connectors at both ends.

2. Using CAT5e (or better) cable, connect the LINK port on each

endpoint to an Ethernet network, the LAN port of a DigitalMedia
transmitter or receiver, or to the LINK port of another DM NUX
endpoint. The maximum cable distance is 330 ft (100 m).

CAUTION: Do not connect the DM-NUX-L2-1G or DM-NUX-R2-1G
to a USB-EXT extender. The USB-EXT extenders are intended for
use as point-to-point USB extenders and must not be connected
to an Ethernet LAN or any other network device via the Link port.

3. Using a USB 2.0 A to B cable (not included), connect the USB B end

to the DM-NUX-L2-1G host port (

), and connect the USB A end

to a USB Type A port on the host device (USB 1.1 or 2.0 compatible).
