VIANet Loop Connections

The VIANet Loop Connection allows the System Controller to communicate with the M86A
and for VIANet information to be shared between chassis. VIANet provides status feedback
to TS2 Touchpads and is used to transmit serial data and Sense Input information between
M86A chassis. VIANet also allows ELAN's C2 Communication Controller, V85 and V8
Video Routers and D Series amplifiers to interface with the System Controller.
Connect the VIANet OUT of the main chassis to the VIANet IN of the second chassis and
continue this process to all chassis.
If VIANet controlled devices such as the C2 Communications Controller, D Series amplifiers
or ELAN video routers are being used, continue the VIANet connection to them as well.
It is important to use the ELAN standard color code for VIANet connections.
VIANet data travels on conductors 3 and 4 and a twisted pair must be maintained for
proper functionality. Both the TIA/EIA568A and TIA/EIA568B color codes split this pair.
