RJ-11 DATA BROADCAST UNIT
Follow the steps listed below to install the RJ-11 Data Broadcast Unit.
1. Remove power from the terminal or computer that you wish to connect to the
RJ-11 Data Broadcast Unit.
2. Connect the composite connector (labeled "COMP") on the rear of the RJ-11
Data Broadcast Unit to the source of data (usually a modem, multiplexor, or
computer port). This cable must be less than 50 feet (15.2 m) long to comply
with the RS-232 interface distance limitation, unless you use extended-
distance cable. Call Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500 for details.
3. Connect up to eight slave devices (usually terminals or printers) to the
channel connectors of the RJ-11 Data Broadcast Unit. Each cable must be less
than 50 feet (15.2 m) long to comply with the RS-232 interface distance
standard, unless you use extended-distance cable.
4. Plug the wallmount transformer into a wall socket. The red power (PWR)
LED should be ON.
5. Apply power to the master and slave devices.
6. The RJ-11 Data Broadcast Unit is now ready for operation.
