4.1. Connecting devices
When building an electronic system, make sure that all devices are powered down before
connecting them. Powered on devices may have dangerous voltage levels that can
damage sensitive electronic circuits. After the system is complete, connect the power
cables to the extenders and to the power outlet; the units are immediately powered ON.
Info: If the transmitter and the receiver are linked by fiber optical cable, do not connect both to
the same LAN, only one of them.
Figure 4-1. Connecting devices
Step 1.
Connect the transmitter and the receiver by a multi- or single mode fiber cable.
Connect channel A on transmitter to channel B on receiver.
Step 2.
Connect a DVI or HDMI source (e.g. computer) to the transmitter's DVI or HDMI
INPUT connector.
Step 3.
Connect a DVI or HDMI sink (e.g. projector) to the receiver's DVI or HDMI output.
Step 4.
Optionally connect the transmitter or the receiver to a Local Area Network in order
to control the devices by the built-in Web page. More information about establishing
the connection can be found in section
Step 5.
Optionally connect Ethernet devices
1
(e.g. switch, laptop, computer etc.) to the
available RJ45 connector(s) of the extender(s). All connected devices will work as
if they are connected to the same network.
Step 6.
Optionally for RS-232 extension
1
:
Connect a controller unit (e.g. Touch panel) to the RS-232 port of the transmitter
with a null modem serial cable.
Connect a controlled device (e.g. Projector) to the RS-232 port of the receiver with
a regular serial cable.
Step 7.
Optionally for Infra-Red extension
1
:
Connect the supplied IR emitter to the IR OUT port of the transmitter or receiver.
Connect the supplied IR detector to the IR IN port of the transmitter or receiver.
Step 8.
Optionally for USB HID extension:
Connect at least one USB HID device to the receiver.
Connect the transmitter to the computer by the USB-B cable.
Step 9.
Power on the devices using the power cables.

Mentioned devices are examples and can be connected to either transmitter or receiver.
