Understanding the LED’s
This MSolutions extender set includes status LED indicators on both the Host and Device products
to show active connections and to further help integrators diagnose potential problems with the
associated cabling.
The RJ45 Link connections on both the host and device units have orange and green LED’s.
• The orange LED indicates that the unit is receiving power. The LED will blink continuously when
there is a link to the unit on the opposing side of the cable.
• The green LED indicates that the unit is communicating with the unit attached to the far side of
the link over the Cat cable.
Cat Cabling for Extenders
It is important that the interconnecting Cat cable between the MSolutions products is terminated
using the correct RJ45 pin configuration. The link Cat cable must be a ‘straight’ (pin-to-pin) Cat
cable and it is advised that this is wired to the T568B wiring standard as this format is less prone to
EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference).
When installing Cat cables it is advised that the best possible Cat cable quality possible is used.
MSolutions recommends using a Cat6 (or higher) cable for installations, especially when running
over longer distances, in areas of high EMI, or with high data rate signal distribution.
