Installation
To prevent damage to your installation it is important that all devices are properly grounded.
1. Use a grounding wire to ground both units by
connecting one end of the wire to the grounding
terminal, and the other end of the wire to a
suitable grounded object.
2. Make sure that the computer that the Local Unit
connects to and the monitor that the Remote Unit
connects to are properly grounded.
3. For increased grounding protection, use STP (shielded twisted pair) cable to connect the
Local and Remote Units. There are two methods that can be used:
a) In addition to the eight paired wires, STP cable also
contains a grounding wire. Solder this wire to the
RJ-45 connector as shown to the eright:
b) The second method is to use the STP cable
shielding for grounding. In this case, make sure that
the shielding makes tight contact with the top inside
of the RJ-45 connector as shown to the right:
In either case, make sure that the sides of the RJ-45 con-
nector make tight contact with the grounding contacts on
the sides of the RJ-45 socket.
