Network Device Connections
This section describes which LAN cables to use and how to supply power (PoE) when connecting each device
in a network.
LAN cable information
Use Category 5 or better LAN cable, and keep cable length under 100 meters. If cable runs of more than 100
meters are required, use a hub or other suitable equipment.
You can also use crossover cables for direct connections between the DWR-R01D, computer, or RMU-01,
without the use of a hub. For details, refer to Figures 3 and 5 in the “System configuration examples” section,
and to “To supply power from the PoE power supply unit” in the “Power supply (PoE) for RMU-01” section.

and the receivers are connected and the
power is supplied to this unit from the PoE

Power supply (PoE) for Remote Control Unit RMU-01
The RMU-01 supports PoE (Power over Ethernet).
PoE allows powering a device over the Ethernet cables used in a LAN. Because data and power are
routed through a single cable, installation of equipment is facilitated even in locations where providing
a conventional power supply would be difficult. When an IEEE802.3af compliant hub with PoE support is
connected to the network, or when a PoE power supply is connected between the RMU-01 and a regular hub,
the RMU-01 can be powered without requiring another power source.

Notes
The RMU-01 can also be powered from the supplied AC adapter.
Be sure to use Category 5 or better LAN cable.
The length of the LAN cable run between the RMU-01 and other equipment (PoE hub, receiver, etc.) should
not exceed 100 meters.
If a PoE power supply without repeater capability is inserted between the RMU-01 and the target equipment
(DWR-R01D, hub etc.), the combined LAN cable run to the RMU-01 should not exceed 100 meters.
