Connection Diagrams - Shure DDS 5900 User Manual

To protect the equipment, ensure that the central control unit (CCU) is always off when connecting or disconnecting the micro-
phone units. Use any of the four chain outputs (A, B, C, and/or D) for connecting DCS-LAN components.
1. Power off the CCU to protect the equipment during set up.
2. Connect a chain output on the CCU to the first microphone unit with the shielded Cat5e cable.
3. Connect the rest of the microphone units in sequence, using the RJ45 jacks on the bottom of each unit.
4. Turn on the CCU by pressing the power button. The microphone units will power on. The unit is stable once the control
button LEDs stop flashing.
Note: Do not turn off CCU power until the system has stabilized

Connection Diagrams

The following system diagrams illustrate typical hardware connections to the DIS-CCU central control unit. Actual installations
may use different combinations of hardware, but follow the general concepts outlined below.
Note: Flushmount and portable discussion units are interchangeable in the following drawings, unless noted.
Basic Setup with Discussion Units
The system is operational without the use of a computer. Use the CCU navigation screen to set up the installation.
Note: This setup does not support the Manual microphone mode, since the browser interface is required for turning microphones on and off.
Computer for Advanced Management
Connect a computer to the central control unit for comprehensive management of the system through a web browser. Connect
an Ethernet cable from the dedicated TCP/IP port to a computer.
