Important!
More expensive, sophisticated switches tend to carry out additional processing that can cause
latency. You should therefore choose a relatively cheap unmanaged 1GB Ethernet switch.
P3 system layout: schematic overview
Connecting the P3 link
WARNING! For outdoor or humid environment use, use Amphenol RJF RB 6 housings (as supplied
with the Headers) on all the RJ-45 plugs used for P3 signal input.
Important! Power all panels and devices off while making connections.
To connect the P3 link:
1. Connect an Ethernet patch cable from the P3 System Controller's P3 signal output socket to an input
socket on a 1GB Ethernet Switch.
2. Plug an Ethernet output from the Ethernet Switch to the RJ-45 connector on the first Header. In outdoor
or humid environments, an IP67-rated Amphenol RJF RB 6 housing must be installed on the RJ-45 plug.
3. Continue connecting Headers to the P3 link by running Ethernet patch cables from the Ethernet Switch
outputs to the Headers, respecting the layout and guidelines given earlier in this section.
4. See Figure 4 on page 10. Any panel connectors that are not being used must be sealed with the
supplied rubber caps (arrowed) at all times.
5. The system is now ready for power to be applied.
6. Set up the panels to display video as described in the P3 controller's user manual.
