Installation MXT-700 Ethernet Cable Clamp Connector FIG. 11 Bottom of the MXT-700 To disconnect and reconnect the MXT-700’s Ethernet cable to allow use of a hole smaller than 1.00” in diameter: 1. On a soft surface, turn the MXT-700 face-down to access the bottom of the device. 2. Remove the clamp holding the Ethernet cable (FIG. 11) until the Ethernet cable moves freely. 3. Remove the Ethernet cable connector and pull the cable out of the clamp. 4.
Installation Power Via Power Over Ethernet Power for the MXD-700 is supplied via Power Over Ethernet (PoE), utilizing an AMX-certified, capacitive touch-compliant PoE injector or other approved AMX PoE power source. The incoming Ethernet cable should be connected to the RJ45 port on the MXD-700 (FIG. 13 and FIG. 14).
