This diagram indicates how the total bandwidth of the high rate mode can be shared between the two video ports. Video port 1 (which has priority) may take up 280 MegaPixels per second (of the total 308 Mpix/sec bandwidth); while port 2 can use a maximum of 154 MPix/sec (subject to port 1 using no more than 154 MPix/sec of the available total bandwidth). OPERATION During low rate mode, the secondary video port is disabled and a total bandwidth of 148.
AUDIO SUPPORT AdderLink XD522 units provide support for a wide range of USB devices via four ports on the receiver unit. Three of the ports (labeled A) support low/full speed (v2.0) USB and are made possible using Adder’s proprietary True USB Emulation technique which is specifically designed to overcome the problems usually encountered when remotely connecting USB keyboards and mice. The fourth port (labeled B) provides Hi-Speed (v2.0) USB with transfer rates up to 480Mbits/sec.
Essential cable properties • A gauge (thickness) of 23AWG or better is recommended. • The cable screening should be: S/ FTP, S/STP or PiMF. Please see Appendix D - Link cable interference protection for details. Low rate mode To achieve 150m (in LR mode), the cable thickness is important: Use 23AWG (or thicker).
ADDERLINK XD522 UNIT FEATURES The AdderLink XD522 units are housed within durable, metallic enclosures with port connectors situated on the front and rear panels. The smart front faces also feature the operation indicators.

Installation INSTALLATION MOUNTING There are two main mounting methods for transmitter and receiver units: • The supplied self-adhesive rubber feet • Optional rack brackets Connections OPERATION FURTHER INFORMATION INDEX Note:The units and their power supplies generate heat when in operation and will become warm to the touch. Do not enclose them or place them in locations where air cannot circulate to cool the equipment. Do not operate the equipment in ambient temperatures exceeding 40oC.
CONNECTIONS Video connections Video connections are made between the host computer and the two DisplayPort sockets on the rear panel of the transmitter unit. USB connections are made between the host computer and the two sockets on the rear panel of the transmitter unit, labeled Link A and Link B. Link A provides low/full speed USB to the three USB ports (all labeled A) that are located on the front panel of the AdderLink XD522 receiver.
Audio connections CONFIGURATION To connect digital audio 1 Use either a mini-TOSLINK fiber optic cable (or a full size TOSLINK fiber optic cable plus a mini-TOSLINK adaptor) to connect the Line In socket on the transmitter to the digital Line Out socket of the host computer. OPERATION To connect analog audio 1 Use the supplied 3.5mm jack audio cable to connect the Line In socket on the transmitter to the analog Line Out or speaker socket of the host computer.
AdderLink XD522 transmitter and receiver units are linked by either one or two CATx cables at a distance of up to 150 meters (492 feet). The type and quality of the CATx cables used are crucial to the mode of operation (please see the section Tips for achieving good quality links). If Hi-Speed USB is not needed at the receiver then a CATx link between the B ports of the units is not necessary.
Power connection 2 Connect the IEC connector of the supplied country-specific power lead to the socket of the power adaptor. Note: Both the unit and its power supply generate heat when in operation and will become warm to the touch. Do not enclose them or place them in locations where air cannot circulate to cool the equipment. Do not operate the equipment in ambient temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Centigrade.
Receiver CONFIGURATION To connect the video ports 1 Connect the DisplayPort video cable from the primary video display to the DP++ port 1 on the rear panel of the receiver unit. If an adaptor is being used to convert signals, connect it to the DP++ port 1 and connect the cable from the video display to the output of the adaptor. If an externally powered adaptor is required, you may need to also connect it to one of the USB ports in order to derive its power.
USB connections To connect the USB ports 1 Connect the cable from your USB device to one of the vacant USB sockets on the receiver front panel. INSTALLATION The AdderLink XD522 receiver provides four USB sockets on its front face: CONFIGURATION The fourth socket is labeled and delivers Hi-Speed USB providing that: • One of the host computer’s USB sockets is connected to the Link B socket on the AdderLink XD522 transmitter and supports USB v2.0, and • The second CATx link (B) is in place.
Audio connections socket on the front panel INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION From the Line Out socket of your audio device From your speakers or the Line In socket of your audio device 2 Connect the 3.5mm jack from the Line Out socket of your audio device to the Line In socket on the rear panel of the receiver unit.
Digital audio support TOSLINK cable from audio device plus miniTOSLINK adaptor Mini-TOSLINK cable from audio device Note:This digital output is fed via the main CATx link from the optical connection of the transmitter’s Line In socket only.There is no crossover between the analog and digital audio subsystems of the AdderLink XD522 installation.
To link the units 1 Connect the CATx link cable from port A (on the front panel) of the transmitter unit to the LINK A port on the rear panel of the receiver unit. From link port A on the transmitter unit From the serial device From link port B on the transmitter unit (required only for transfer of HiSpeed USB) 2 If Hi-Speed USB is required, connect the CATx link cable from port B (on the front panel) of the transmitter unit to the LINK B port on the rear panel of the receiver unit.
Power connection 2 Connect the IEC connector of the supplied country-specific power lead to the socket of the power adaptor. Note: Both the unit and its power supply generate heat when in operation and will become warm to the touch. Do not enclose them or place them in locations where air cannot circulate to cool the equipment. Do not operate the equipment in ambient temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Centigrade.
Configuration Use a straightened-out paper clip to press and hold the reset button until the front panel indicators respond 4 With the unit in download mode, transfer the upgrade file using an XMODEM file transfer via any terminal emulator program. Use the following settings: 115200 baud, 8 bit word, no parity, 1 stop bit (8N1) and no flow control. 5 Upon completion of the download, the unit will begin to upgrade its stored firmware.
