Ethernet Interface - Example
Ethernet and TPS Connectors for LAN
The concept
In the room 1. the Matrix reaches the LAN by connecting the
Control Ethernet
port to the Ethernet switch.
Creating a link between the RJ45 connectors labeled
Ethernet Link to TPS inputs
and
TPS inputs Ethernet
makes
possible to support TPS input ports (I1-4) with Ethernet.
In the room 2. a third-party Ethernet device connects to the TPS input port (I2). In this case, instead of TPS
data transmission the TPS connection provides only Ethernet connection to the LAN.
In the room 3. the TPS extender connects to the TPS input port (I4)of the Matrix. Besides the TPS data
transmission, the TPS extender provides connection to the LAN for e.g. a laptop.
Settings
Matrix:
TPS modes in TPS input ports (I2, I4) can be set Auto. ETH Link TPS In (P4), TPS IN2 (P6), TPS IN4
(P8) can be enabled.
Create a link towards the TPS input ports by connecting a patch cable between the two RJ45 connectors
(
Ethernet Link to TPS inputs
and
TPS inputs Ethernet
).
