Cable Connection
Note:
A complete VM0808T installation requires additional transmitter and
receiver units that are not included in the VM0808T package.
Compatible models are the VE300T or VE500T Transmitter and the
VE300R / VE300RQ or VE500R / VE500RQ Receiver. See
, page 3, for details.
Installation of the VM0808T is simply a matter of connecting the appropriate
cables. Refer to the installation diagrams on the following pages (the numbers
in the diagrams correspond to the steps, below), and do the following:
1. Use a VGA/Audio cable to connect the audio/video output ports of the
local computer (or other audio/video source) to the VM0808T’s Video In
port and stereo / balanced Audio In ports.
2. Plug the local display’s VGA cable into the VM0808T’s Video Out port.
3. Plug the local stereo/balanced audio speakers into the appropriate Audio
Out ports.
Note:
If both audio sources are connected, the stereo audio source has
priority.
4. If you are using the serial control function, use an appropriate serial cable
to connect the computer or serial controller to the VM0808T’s female RS-
232 port or the RS-485 / RS-422 captive screw connector.
Note:
, page 24, for further details about the serial
control options
5. If you are using a serial device at the local site, connect it to the
VM0808T’s male RS-232 port.
6. Plug a Cat 5e cable from the LAN into the VM0808T’s Ethernet port.
7. Use a grounding wire to ground the unit by connecting one end of the wire
to the grounding terminal, and the other end to a suitable grounded object.
Note:
Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to
the unit from surges or static electricity. See
