Step 3 — Connect AV, Interconnection, and Control Cables
1.
Connect AV sources to the input connectors (see
AV Inputs
on page 12).
2.
Use a shielded twisted pair cable to connect the transmitter to the receiver via the Output and Input RJ-45 connectors (see
Transmitter-Receiver Interconnection
on page 12).
3.
Connect AV output devices (display, projector, or other device, and an amplifier or powered speakers) to the output
connectors (see
AV Outputs
on page 13).
4.
Cable the control ports on the receiver as desired for controlling AV devices and for communicating with the system via LAN
(see
Control
on page 13).
Step 4 — Connect Power
Connect the power supply or power supplies to the HC 400 Series system (see
Power
on page 15), connect power cords, and
power on all the devices. The receiver can remotely power the transmitter, or you can connect an optional power supply to the
transmitter, as well.
NOTE:
The power supplies can be set on a tabletop, or mounted to a rack or furniture. Follow the mounting directions
included with each power supply or see the power supply installation guides available on the
PS Series Power Supplies
page
on the Extron website.
Step 5 — Configure Network Settings
You can configure the basic network settings in one of the following ways:
•
Via
front panel controls and the OSD menu
— a quick method you can use whether or not you need to configure other control
settings (see
Using the OSD menu to configure the AV settings
on page 9). This requires connection to a display device.
•
Via
PCS software
— a method that provides basic network configuration and is convenient when you are ready to use PCS
to configure AV settings. This requires a PC, software, and a LAN or USB connection.
•
Via
Toolbelt software
— a method that allows you to configure additional connection settings and is convenient when you
want to configure additional device, password, system, and control port settings. This requires a PC, software, and a LAN
connection.

on page 14) to the same network.
Or
Connect the PC to the front panel Config port of the HCR 102 receiver using a USB type A male to USB mini-B male cable
(such as the Extron USB CFG cable).
2.
Apply power to the PC and the HCR 102.
3.
Open the PCS software. You might need to open the application as an administrator by right-clicking the PCS icon and
selecting
Run as administrator
. PCS opens to the
