grounded. A display with a three wire AC plug meets this requirement, but if the
display has a two wire plug, you should ground the Cat5 receiver directly to the
AC Outlet.
We highly recommend reviewing the AC ground at each display outlet and rack
location to ensure proper wiring and compliance with the NEC.
When using external Cat5 surge suppressors to further protect your system, the
ground connection is absolutely required as the surge suppressor only works
when properly connected to ground.
Testing Cables Prior To Use
When using Cat5 cable testers/certifiers, the cable should map each pin straight
across (i.e. 1 to 1, 2 to 2, through 8 to 8).

1) Front panel buttons
2) IR remote
3) Serial commands (RS232 or USB)
