Description: Connect the Spectra controller as shown in wiring diagram above. When using TCP Active Hub, Spectra can be configured to transfer data for displays (CDUs, SDUs and PDUs) and HTSUs over TCP/IP connection to TCP Active Hub.
1) Driving displays (CDUs, SDUs and PDUs): In order to drive displays connect one end of patch cord (Straight cable – RJ45 on both ends) to port marked “CDU” in Spectra and other end to Active Hub/TCP Active Hub port marked “IN”.
Note: It is recommended to use Cat5e or Cat6 LAN cable/Patch cord Length of wire between Spectra controller “CDU” port and “IN” port of Active Hub can go up to 50m. 6.2 Providing LAN connectivity: Connect a LAN cable/Patch cord from network switch to LAN port on Spectra controller in order to provide internet or LAN connectivity.
