the green Activity LED on the rear panel RJ-45 LAN connector light when the computer
recognizes the transmitter. When the transmitter and receiver are paired with each other,
the front panel Link LEDs light on both the transmitter and receiver.
8. Connect up to four USB cables from peripheral devices (such as a keyboard, mouse,
scanner, or printer) to the receiver Hub ports (see
figure 8,
5
, on page 10). When the
first device is connected, the Host LED stops blinking and remains lit steadily.
As each peripheral device is connected, the LED for its hub port lights when the host
PC detects the device.
9. If desired, connect a 9-pin D-to-2.5 mm TRS cable between a computer and the front
panel Config port on the transmitter, receiver, or both to configure the units via SIS
commands (see
Connecting for Serial Communication on page 13).
The system is now ready to operate.
Pairing and Unpairing the Transmitter and Receiver (Point-to-Point Only)
In order to function together, the transmitter and receiver must be paired the first time they
are used together. Both units must be connected together through their RJ-45 connectors
(the transmitter Output connector and the receiver Input connector) and powered on.
NOTES:
• Pairing and unpairing via the pair button is required only for point-to-point
non-network applications.
• Before pairing a transmitter to a receiver, Extron recommends that you unpair and
cycle power to each unit in order to clear any previous pairing or to resolve any
pairing issues that might occur (see “Unpairing the transmitter and receiver”).
Unpairing the transmitter and receiver
To unpair a transmitter and receiver that have been paired together:
1. Press and hold the
Pair
button on either the transmitter or receiver until the transmitter
or receiver Link LED turns off (approximately 10 seconds) and the Link LED on the
receiver begins to blink.
2. Release the
Pair
button.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each transmitter and receiver.
4.
Proceed with the pairing (see
Pairing the transmitter and receiver
on the next page).
