Installing and connecting the device
3.5 Connecting the device
Note
Possible number of extended versions or PRO devices on a PC
A free USB interface and a free DisplayPort interface of the PC are required for each
connection of an extended version or a PRO device to a PC via the Transceiver Unit. This
means that the possible number of IFPs on a PC is defined by the number of available USB
and DisplayPort interfaces of the PC. A Transceiver Unit is required for each extended
version or each PRO device.
Possible number of PCs on an extended version or a PRO device
As soon as the RJ45 interface of an extended version or a PRO device is connected via the
Transceiver Unit to a PC, no video signals can be transmitted via the DisplayPort interface of
the IFP. This means that exactly one PC can be connected to one extended version or one
PRO device.
Example: Connect two IFP V2 extended via two Transceiver Units with a PC
The following figure shows an example of the connection of two IFP1500 V2 extended each
via a Transceiver Unit to an IPC427E and is generally valid for all extended versions and
PRO devices in connection with a corresponding PC.
