Cabling Notes - LEGRAND VADDIO EasyIP 30 Installation Manual

Cabling Notes

Caution
When building cables for Vaddio products, do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors.
Incorrectly crimped pass-through connectors can damage the connectors on the product,
which will void your warranty.
Intact – will make reliable contact
with cable connector
Use Cat-5e or better cable. We recommend using high-quality connectors and a high-quality crimping
tool. If connectors are crimped incorrectly, they can cause intermittent connections and degrade signal
quality.
We recommend shielded cabling if the cables will be coiled, run tightly with other cables, or routed near
sources of electromagnetic interference such as power lines or fluorescent light fixtures.
Caution
Check your cables. Connecting a cable to the wrong port or using the wrong pin-out can result in
equipment damage and will void the warranty.
Pro Tip
Label all cables at both ends.
Connecting EasyIP Products
EasyIP cameras and audio products require an EasyIP host device to decode the AV-over-IP signal and
originate a USB stream.
EasyIP devices can be powered using mid-span PoE+ power injectors (sold separately), or they can be
connected to a PoE+ switch such as the EasyIP Switch, which ensures that the room's EasyIP
installation is on its own subnet. The EasyIP Switch is preconfigured for use with Vaddio EasyIP
products. The connection diagrams in this section each show an EasyIP Switch powering the installation.
Make all connections while the PoE+ switch is turned off.
Caution
The EasyIP Switch serves DHCP addresses. Do not connect the EasyIP Switch to the network without
guidance from an on-site network specialist.
