RC7-PD2 Installation Instructions

Supporting the Polycom EagleEye Director II

and Group Series 300, 500, 700 & 7500 Codecs

TEST YOUR LINK CABLE

 

We highly recommend using an Ethernet Network Tester/Analyzer alongside our provided PowerSniffer to confirm your LINK 
cable’s wiring. Our PowerSniffer only tests conductor continuity and will not identify data integrity or capacity issues.

1. 

Test and verify your CAT6 LINK cable for UTP 568A/568B. Link cable must be between 30ft - 300ft. 

The LINK cable between the RC7-CE module (transmitter) & RC7-HE module (receiver)

 

must always be a single, point-to-point CAT cable with no couplers or interconnections.

2.  Connect the provided PowerSniffer to the EagleEye Director II end of your CAT6 LINK cable.
3.  Connect the other end of the LINK cable to the ‘SCT LINK” connection on the Head End module.
4.  Connect the WPS-48 power supply to the Head End module.
5.  Connect the WPS-48 power supply to AC mains.
6.  If the SCT LINK cable is properly terminated, it will display eight GREEN LEDs.  

If you get any other result, 

stop and re-terminate cable

.

7.  Once your cable has been tested, please disconnect the WPS-48 power supply from the RC7-HE module, 

and the PowerSniffer from the LINK cable, before proceeding to install.

 

INSTALL THE EXTENSION KIT

 

Before integrating your RC7-PD2 extension kit, please ensure your Polycom EagleEye Director II base is connected to your 
two EagleEye IV cameras (Power and Ethernet connections) via Polycom’s instructions.

Connect the camera-end cables:

1. 

Connect the RCC-C030 mini-HDCI end to the mini-HDCI 
input on the EagleEye Director II base. 
 

• Connect the RCC-C030 HDMI branch cable to the    

        RC7-CE’s HDMI “Output 1” port.  
 

• Connect the 9pin branch cable to the RC7-CE’s  

 

   “Power Serial/IR” port.

2.  Connect the RCC-C016 1’ Audio Cable between the RC7-

CE “Line Out” port and the EagleEye Director II’s audio 
TRS input.

3.  Connect the PPC-015 Power Cable between the 

EagleEye Director II’s power input and the RC7-CE’s 
power input, labeled “12VDC Output”. 
 

Connect the codec-end cables:

4.  Connect the RCC-H030’s HDCI end to the primary HDCI 

input on the Group Series codec. 
 

• Connect the HDMI branch cable to the RC7-HE’s 

        HDMI “Output 1” port. 
 

• Connect the 9Pin branch cable to the RC7-HE’s  

 

   port labeled ‘Serial/IR’.

5.  Connect the Polycom supplied audio cable between the 

RC7-HE’s “Line In” port and the Group Series Codec’s 
audio inputs. 
 

Connect and Initiate the Extended System: 

6.  Connect one end of your Cat6 LINK cable to the RC7-HE 

module’s “SCT Link” port. Connect the other end to the 
RC7-CE module’s “SCT Link” port.

7.  Connect the WPS-48 Power Supply to the RC7-HE.
