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 USB-NX2-LOCAL-1G also
receives power from the USB host port.
The USB-NX2-LOCAL-1G and USB-NX2-REMOTE-1G may be used
without a control system or DigitalMedia™ system to provide 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 USB-NX2-LOCAL-1G to the USB-NX2-REMOTE-1G.
NOTE:
Signal routing is not supported when the USB-NX2-LOCAL-1G
and USB-NX2-REMOTE-1G are used to provide point-to-point USB
extension or when PoE is not being used. In addition, a separate 24 V
0.75 A 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. Connect one end of the CAT5e (or better) cable to the LINK port on the
USB-NX2-LOCAL-1G, and connect the other end to the LINK port on
the USB-NX2-REMOTE-1G. The maximum cable distance is 330 ft
(100 m).
CAUTION:
Do not connect the USB-NX2-LOCAL-1G and
USB-NX2-REMOTE-1G to a USB-EXT-2-LOCAL-1G,
USB-EXT-2-REMOTE-1G, USB-EXT-2-LOCAL, or
USB-EXT-2-REMOTE extender.
The USB-EXT-2-LOCAL-1G, USB-EXT-2-REMOTE-1G,
USB-EXT-2-LOCAL, or USB-EXT-2-REMOTE 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 USB-NX2-LOCAL-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).
