BLUEbox encoder & decoder introduction Stand-alone CAT5 devices with one video, two audio and three data channels, In-band management Welcome, and thank you for purchasing Teleste’s EASI™ Products. General EASI™ BLUEbox is a stand-alone video, audio & data Encoder/Decoder device for business television type applications.
Installation Quick Instructions Install the stand-alone BLUEbox device to the installation place. A 12 V supply voltage is provided by a CPS22x mains adapter. Switch on the system power and see that the “module”, “link” and “video” -indicators on the front panel of the device are lit. The “module”...
Connections General All products in EASI™ IP family have the same connection scheme in their connectors. Depending on the model, there are Video, S-Video, Audio, Data, Mgmt & Ethernet 100Base-TX connections. Video, audio, data and Ethernet port settings can be confi gured from web user interface (WebUI) or command line interface (CLI).
Data Connections The data connectors (1, 2 & 3) provide one bi-directional data channel (BBE <--> BBD). The data type can be set to RS232, RS422, RS485-2w or RS485-4w. You can confi gure data settings by help of WebUI or CLI. The connector is type RJ-45 female (see picture 5 and table 2 for detailed description).
Management Connection The Mgmt (Management) connector provides one bi-directional data channel (RS232). The Mgmt connection is meant for confi guration and controlling of BLUEbox devices locally by CLI. Management connection between BLUEbox devices and e.g. laptop is based on a serial data communication by means of any terminal type program (e.g Windows Hyper Terminal).
Ethernet Connection The Ethernet connector provides 10/100Base-TX Ethernet network interface. The connector is type RJ-45 female (CAT5, see picture 7 and table 4 for detailed description). When the Ethernet connection status is OK, the “link” led on the front panel is green. If the Ethernet signal is missing or it’s level is too low, the “link”...
