Chapter 4: Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
Serial communications do not work correctly
1. Are the serial devices connected properly?
2. Are the serial parameters correct for source/destination devices?
3. Are the serial cables terminated correctly?
4. Is a null-modem cable required at the TX or RX end?
5. When using RS-232 (CAT5 Multi VGA and Analog Audio Transmitter S type) capable receivers with video switches, distri-
bution amps, or multi-output transmitters, the serial data is sent transmit-only. Consider this when trying to
control displays or other devices. For help, contact Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500 or [email protected].

NOTES on Daisychaining: When using a receiver’s RJ-45 daisychain port, the following rules apply:
• If using L/R summed audio, simplex serial, or SPDIF units, a maximum of 12 units may be daisychained within the rated cable
length of the receiver.
• When daisychaining, the maximum cable distance is not increased beyond the rated distance of the receiver used. For example,
a receiver can only daisychain up to the allowed distance of the transmitter. It is possible to daisychain out of a short-range
receiver into a longer-range receiver to increase the range. For example, a receiver can be daisychained into a receiver that
allows longer daisychaining distance.
