INSTALLATION
Always connect the smartlink to both the
device and the SMARTPAX before turn-
ing on the power. Plugging or unplug-
ging with the power on may cause dam-
age to the equipment! Try to keep the
cable between the SMARTPAX and the
device as short as possible to minimize
ground loops.
SMARTPAX
CONFIGURATION
In most cases, SMARTPAX is configured
automatically from Dataton TRAX. You
must, however, manually set the SMART-
PAX port address to correspond to the
device’s address in TRAX.
If you are using the manual mode in
TRAX, you will need to configure the
SMARTPAX using its port, address and
device buttons.
Please refer to the SMARTPAX product
sheet and the TRAX handbook for more
details.
CUSTOM SMARTLINKS
If you need to control an AV device not
supported by a standard smartlink, you
can make a custom smartlink using PAX
AUXILIARY CABLE (article no: 3450).
