LAN Cabling
For all LAN cabling, the EIA/TIA-568B crimp pattern must be used on Category 5e or greater cable. In areas with
large amounts of electromagnetic (EM) or radio frequency (RF) interference, a shielded variety of Category 5e or
greater cable is recommended with shielded connectors on both ends of the selected cable.
IPEXCB Controller
In addition to the gigabit switch, the IPEXCB is required for the encoders and decoders to communicate with each
other regardless of system layout, such as one to many.
System Control
There are multiple ways to control the system once installation is complete. There is the IPLink Control software for
iPad and Windows. While not recommended, the IPEXCB can be controlled through a web browser. A third party
controller can communicate directly with the IPEXCB via the LAN (CONTROL) port or via RS232.
Heat and Ventilation
All electronics generate heat, and excessive heat can cause electronic devices to fail prematurely. The IPEX2001
and IPEX2002 devices are passively cooled and should not be stacked on top of each other or other devices. Please
leave at least 1 ½ inches (approximately 35-40 mm) of open space by the side vents to provide adequate airflow.
The gigabit switch will likely have active cooling. Please follow the manufacturer's installation instructions for
proper mounting in an equipment rack.
Backup Power
It is always a good practice to install a high quality UPS (uninterruptible power supply) with line filtering with
expensive electronics. The UPS can provide "clean" power to all the devices in the equipment rack while also
providing enough time to properly shut down connected devices in the event of an extended power failure.
HDMI CEC
The IPEX2002 can turn on and turn off connected displays via CEC. This technology has been a part of the HDMI
specification for years. The Digitalinx IP Control software for Windows and iPad can turn on and off the displays for
easy end user control.
Source Content Resolution
Even though the IPEX2000 series devices support 1080i, this resolution may cause artifacts through the encoding
process. Please set the output resolution of devices showing 1080i content to 720p or 1080p.
