Connecting Power
Both the receiver and transmitter feature an external power supply. A DC power jack is
located on the rear of the receiver and on the rear of the transmitter.
NOTE:
Use only the power supply provided by Black Box.
To connect power to the receiver/transmitter:
1. Plug the external power supply’s 2.5mm connector into the DC power jack on the
rear of the receiver/transmitter.
2. Connect the detachable IEC power cord to the power supply.
3. Plug the IEC power cord into an appropriate wall outlet.
Networked Installation
The following instructions will enable you to install your Black Box ServSwitch Extender
in a networked configuration. In this installation, multiple transmitters and receivers are
attached via the same Ethernet network. In this case, it is important for each unit to be
configured with a unique IP address.
NOTE:
The receiver and transmitter can obtain their IP address data from a DHCP server.
Transmitters and receivers may be configured for use on a single subnet or for use across
routers. Use of routers, however, will cause a slight increase in end-to-end latencies,
which may not be acceptable for all applications.
Figure 3-8. Networked Installation
The Black Box ServSwitch DTX5002 Extender has been pre-configured with factory-
default network settings. If you install only one Black Box ServSwitch DTX5002
Extender on a subnet, you do not need to change these default network settings. If you
install multiple units on the same subnet, you will need to assign a unique IP address to
each unit or configure them for DHCP. This can be done via the serial port and must be
carried out before displaying multiple devices on the same network.
