KRAMER:  SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

 

Using Your TP-400FW FireWire Range Extender 

 

1.  On each 

TP-400FW

 unit, connect

1

 the power cord

2

 and turn the unit ON. 

(It is possible to connect the power cord to only one of the 

TP-400FW

 

units. The other 

TP-400FW

 units will derive their power from that unit). 

2.  Connect the CAT 5 Straight

 

RJ45 connector on the first 

TP-400FW

 unit 

to the CAT 5 Crossed

 

RJ45 connector on the second 

TP-400FW

 unit, and 

connect the CAT 5 Straight

 

RJ45 connector on the second 

TP-400FW

 

unit to the CAT 5 Crossed

 

RJ45 connector on the third 

TP-400FW

 unit

3

3.  Connect a FireWire device (for example, a video camcorder) to the FW 

PORT (R) on the first 

TP-400FW

 unit, and a FireWire device (for 

example, a PC) to the FW PORT (F) on the third 

TP-400FW

 unit. 

4.  Be sure that the power on each device is turned ON. 

The relevant CONNECTION STATUS green LEDs light (see items 2, 3, 4 

and 5 in Table 1) as follows: 

On the first 

TP-400FW

 unit, the 

STRAIGHT

 and the

 FW REAR 

LEDs 

On the second 

TP-400FW

 unit, the 

STRAIGHT

 and the

 CROSSED 

LEDs 

On the third 

TP-400FW

 unit, the

 CROSSED 

and the

 FW FRONT

 LEDs

1 Not illustrated in Figure 4 
2 We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine 
3  Alternatively,  connect  the  CAT  5  Crossed  RJ45  connector  on  the  first  TP-400FW  unit  to  the  CAT  5  Straight  RJ45 
connector on the second TP-400FW unit, and connect the CAT 5 Crossed RJ45 connector on the second TP-400FW unit to 
the CAT 5 Straight RJ45 connector on the third TP-400FW unit
