Installing Hardware
Note:
The iBridge Bay requires the use of an
RAVD1 RNET A/V Decoder to connect to a
Russound RNET system.
1.
Place the iBridge Bay with the Mac computer
it will be used with. Place the RNET Decoder
with the RNET controller amplifier.
2.
Install CAT-5e cable between the iBridge Bay
and the Decoder, up to 300 feet (90 m).
Terminate CAT-5e cable ends using RJ-45 con-
nectors, following the T568A standard as
shown. If desired, use modular wall plates and
RJ-45 patch cables for a neater appearance.
Connect the iBridge Bay to the Decoder by con-
necting CAT-5e cable to the RNET A/V jacks
located on each device.
3.
Connect Decoder to the RNET system
according to the RAVD1 A/V Decoder manual.
4.
Set the Source/Function Selector switch on
the back of the iBridge Bay to match the source
number that the RAVD1 Decoder cables are
plugged into on the back of the RNET controller.
