Wiring and Connections
WyreStorm recommends that all wiring for the installation is run and terminated prior to making connections to the switcher. Read through this section in its
entirety before running or terminating the wires to ensure proper operation and to avoid damaging equipment.
IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines
• The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, and
electrical or environmental interference will have an adverse effect on
signal transmission which may limit performance. Steps should be taken
to minimize or remove these factors completely during installation for best
results.
• WyreStorm recommends using pre-terminated HDMI due to the complexity
of these connector types. Using pre-terminated cables will ensure that
these connections are accurate and will not interfere with the performance
of the product.
IR Guidelines
• Using WyreStorm infrared receivers is the best way to ensure that most IR
coding formats are transmitted and received Other 3rd party receivers can
be used; however, these devices must operate in the same manner as the
WyreStorm devices.
• Due to differences in IR across 3rd party control systems their IR ports
should never be connected directly to a WyreStorm system as an
incompatibility may exist. WyreStorm offers a cable that compensates for
voltage differences as well adjusts for differences in the pins used within the
port. Refer to the
product page for more information.
IR EXT Port Pinout
Connection for IR RX (receive) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) stereo jack that outputs
+5V DC to power the included IR receiver.
Tip:
Ring:
IR Signal
+5V DC
Sleeve: Ground (GND)
RS-232 Wiring
Most control systems and computers are DTE where pin 2 is RX, this can vary
from device to device. Refer to the documentation for the connected device for
pin functionally to ensure that the correct connections can be made.
3rd Party Device
Pin 2 TX (Transmit) ---> To ---> RX (Receive)
Pin 3 RX (Receive)
---> To ---> TX (Transmit)
Pin 5 G (Ground)
---> To ---> G (Ground)
WyreStorm Connector
Note: Pins not shown in table have no connection.
Audio Wiring
This matrix contains audio connections for Analog Audio.
Tip:
Audio Postive (+)
Shield: Audio Negative (-)
IR Code Settings
This matrix has 2 different IR code sets to help alleviate interference with devices that may contain a similar IR code. These various code sets can be set within
the units web UI should the need arise to change them. We recommend that the IR code set be left to default unless absolutely required to resolve a code
sharing issue.
1. Access the Web UI. Refer to
.
2. Navigate to the Settings tab within the Admin section of the Web UI. Default password is admin.
3. Under IR Code select one of the available IR code sets. Mode 1 (0x00) is the default setting.
