Basic Installation
1.
Configure a managed 1Gb Ethernet network switch for Digitalinx IP video operation.
NOTE
: A Digitalinx IP network switch configuration guide has been built to assist with
configuring network switches from a variety of manufacturers. The network switch
configuration guides are located on the Digitalinx IP IPEXCB product page on the
Liberty website (www.libav.com) under the DOCUMENTATION tab.
2.
Turn off power and disconnect the audio/video equipment by following the manufacturer’s
instructions.
3.
Turn off power to the configured network switch.
4.
Connect Category 5E or greater twisted pair cable with the TIA/EIA-568B crimp pattern
between the LAN1 port on the IPEXCB and the configured network switch.
NOTE
: If the network switch cannot provide power or enough power to the IPEXCB,
connect the included power supply to the 12V DC power input of the control box.
If the gigabit switch cannot provide enough power, disable the PoE function of the
connected LAN port on the switch.
5.
Connect the Digitalinx IP encoder(s) and decoder(s) to the network switch using Category 5E
or greater twisted pair cable with the TIA/EIA-568B crimp pattern and per the instructions
for those device
6.
Connect all sources and displays to the respective Digitalinx IP encoders and decoders.
7.
Apply power to the configured network switch.
8.
The IPEXCB will fully boot after five minutes.
9.
Apply power to the attached audio/video devices.
To control the IPEXCB and Digitalinx IP devices by a third party IP control system, connect a
Category cable between the LAN2 port on the IPEXCB to an IP based third party control system
network. To control the IPEXCB and Digitalinx IP devices by a third party serial control system,
connect to the RS232 connection on the IPEXCB. For proper serial connectivity to the IPEXCB
please see
RS232 Connections
on previous page.
For a comprehensive list of system commands for the IPEXCB and Digitalinx IP systems, please
refer to the
Digitalinx IP Programming Guide
which is located under the
DOCUMENTATION
tab
on the IPEXCB product page online at
www.libav.com
Pre-written control system drivers are also available online on the IPEXCB product page under
