Step 4: Connecting the MicPOD Dock
Flip the MicPOD Dock upside down to expose connectors and the connector labels. Connect the LINK Cable
(provided Cat-6 SSTP with individually shielded pairs) originating from the Camera/Sound Bar with the connector
marked in red. Power is supplied to the Dock with the LINK cable. Video, audio, and control between the two
devices will be established automatically.
Note:
Please do not plug the LINK cable into the Network RJ-45, incorrect termination is not typically a
good thing, especially when power is involved.

The order of the connections is as follows:
1) LINK
Connection:
As pointed out a few times, connection of the LINK cable between the Camera/Sound
Bar and the MicPOD Dock should be made prior to plugging the power supply’s AC power cord into the wall
outlet. Make this connection first. The LINK cable provides power to the MicPOD and automatically
establishes video, audio, and control between the two devices.
2)
All of the rest of the connections (from left to right), are hot pluggable once the LINK cable is connected on
both sides and the power is applied.
