Connecting Conference Units and DCS-LAN Components
Conference units and DCS-LAN components are connected in sequence (daisy-chain) using the two RJ45 ports on each unit.
Connectors are
not
interchangeable: the previous unit must be connected to the
IN
port, and the following unit to the
OUT
port.
Power, control data, and audio are transported from one unit to the next over the same shielded Cat5e cable.
To protect the equipment, ensure that the central control unit (CCU)
is always off
when connecting or disconnecting the con-
ference units. Use any of the four chain connectors (A, B, C, and/or D) for connecting DCS-LAN components.
Power off the CCU to protect the equipment during set up.
Connect a chain output on the CCU to the first conference unit with the shielded Cat5e cable.
Connect the rest of the conference units in sequence, using the RJ45 jacks on the bottom of each unit.
