  • Page 15: Signal Installation

    Section 4: Signal Installation To display messages on a KE-1010 display, signal is sent from the computer to the ticker via one of two possible network systems: RS-422 or Ethernet. Signal is received by the controller board inside the master section of the ticker. The controller board processes the data and relays it to the shift card. The shift card relays signal to the modules, then the appropriate LEDs create the messages which scroll across the ticker display.

  • Page 17: Ethernet Connections

    Ethernet Connections For DakTickers using an Ethernet system for communication, a network connection will be made from the network hub or switch to the master section. The Cat-5/Cat-5E cable has a typical maximum length of 100 meters (approximately 300 feet). The controller has an onboard Ethernet port with a default address that will need to be reconfigured to an address on the local network.
