Step 1: Connecting Network Cables
Establishing Network Connectivity between Controlling
Computer and 9430
Although the Avenue Frame system is equipped with both RS-232 and Ethernet interfaces,
the 9430 has dedicated control connections to support live video thumbnails and
third-party control systems for automation and event control.
To establish network connectivity between your controlling computer and the 9430, it is
essential that the controlling computer be networked to the RS-232 and 100 Mb Ethernet
Interface Adaptor Cable, or “Y” adaptor cable, shown in the illustration below.

Introduction
This Quick Start Guide will walk you through the essential steps for installing and
configuring your new Avenue Flexible Matrix Router. The realtime video thumbnails, ease
of expansion, user-definable input/output port geometry, built-in test signals, and optional
clean and quiet switching offer useful and elegant additions to your facility.
The Avenue Flexible Matrix Router occupies from one to three slots in any Avenue 3RU
Frame. The Router is comprised of up to three modules: the 9430 8×2 router module, one
or two optional 9435 dual clean switch sub modules, and one or two optional 9440
ten-port expansion modules. BNCs on the 9440 module(s) are designated as inputs or
outputs through the control system.
