5.1 Connecting the VS-81ETH Rear Panel
This section describes how to connect the
VS-81ETH
either as an 8x1 switcher
(see section 5.1.1) or in the reverse direction (see section 5.1.2).
5.1.1 Connecting the VS-81ETH as an 8x1 Switcher
To connect the
VS-81ETH
, as the example in Figure 2 illustrates, do the
following
1
:
1. Connect a computer graphics source to the XGA INPUT of a
PT-110
2
XGA Line Transmitter and connect
3
the LINE OUTPUT on that
PT-110
to the IN/OUT 1 RJ-45 connector on the
VS-81ETH
.
Similarly connect another computer graphics source to the XGA INPUT
of another
PT-110
2
XGA Line Transmitter and connect
3
LINE OUTPUT
on that
PT-110
to the IN/OUT 8 RJ-45 connector on the
VS-81ETH
.
You can connect up to 8 inputs
4
.
2. On the
VS-81ETH
, connect
3
the OUT/IN connector to the LINE IN
RJ-45 connector on a
TP-120
2
XGA Line Receiver unit, and connect the
XGA OUT connector on that
TP-120
unit to the acceptor (for example,
a projector).
3. Set the dipswitches (see section 5.4).
4. Connect a PC and/or controller (if required) to the RS-232 port (see
section 5.2) and/or RS-485 port (see section 5.3).
5. Connect the power cord
5
.
To switch an input to the output, press an IN/OUT SELECTOR button.
1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-81ETH. After connecting your VS-81ETH, switch
on its power and then switch on the power on each device

3 Using an STP cable with CAT5 connectors at both ends, with a range of more than 300ft (>100m), see section 5.1.3
4
You do not have to connect all 8 inputs, connect only those that are required
5 We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine
