Preventing Cabling And Connection Problems - Visual Circuits Firefly User Manual

Troubleshooting
The card in the slot is not a Visual Circuits Smart Card or
possibly not a Smart Card at all.
For either of the two scenarios described above, to force an eject of
the contents of the Firefly Smart Card reader, simply press and
hold the EXIT button on the front panel interface for 10 seconds.
After that time, the system should eject the card.
NOTE
Do not use the Smart Card force eject
method described above during Firefly's
startup process.
Instead, during the startup process, press
and release the "Exit" button on Firefly's front
panel to eject the Smart Card.
Preventing Cabling and
Connection Problems
The suggestions listed below provide basic tips for preventing or
minimizing problems related to cabling and connections to and
from the Firefly.
Use the best cable you can afford.
Use the shortest cables possible.
For composite video, PAL or NTSC, RG-59 cable can be
used for distances of up to 20 meters between the video
source and the acceptor. No signal deterioration should
show on the screen. For longer distances, up to 30 meters,
use RG-11 type cable.
For s-video, standard, inexpensive cables allow operating
distances of 5-7 meters. Very little deterioration is apparent.
For component video, RG-59 cables are suitable for up to
10 meters. For longer distances, up to 20-25 meters, a better
cable should be used, such as RG-11.
