Run data and audio cable from the MPI in the closet to the
first OP (Rack Mount) and continue with the data and audio wires
from each OP (Rack Mount) in sequence. It is recommended to
use two different colored cables as to not confuse them in the
plenum.
Before use check and test all cables. Use a cable continuity tester.
DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! This easy step will resolve most of any
problems associated with the installation and will save you
significant time if you need to trouble-shoot the system. Even
pre-packaged/pre-certified batch tested cables fail.
Connect the data and audio cables into the first OP (Rack
Mount) Data IN and Audio IN jacks respectively. (Female
RJ45).
Connect another data and audio cable from the first OP
(Rack Mount's) Data and Audio OUT jack to the Data and
Audio IN jack of the second OP (Rack Mount).
Continue connection from OP (Rack Mount) to OP (Rack Mount)
in numbered sequence. You may NOT skip a sequenced OP (Rack
Mount) (i.e., connect OP (Rack Mount) 1 to 4). Keep OP (Rack
Mounts) sequenced, even if you swap OP (Rack Mounts) on a
wired route. (If you swap a n OP (Rack Mount) , please designate the
swap with notes on drawing so that the as-built drawings may be
properly referenced.)
