Installation and Operation
Installation Overview
To install and set up the IPL T SF24 and SFI244 interfaces:
1. Turn all of the equipment off. Make sure that the video
sources (DSS, cable boxes, or other devices), the IPL T SF
unit, the output devices (monitors, VCRs, projectors, etc.)
and the serial controller are all turned off and disconnected
from the power source.
2. Mount the IPL T SF unit. See “Mounting the IPL T SF
Interface” below.
3. Attach the cables. See “Connecting the Hardware” in
chapter 3.
4. Connect power cords and turn on the devices in the
following order: output devices (projectors, monitors,
speakers), the IPL T SF unit, a serial controller or PC, then
all input devices (DSS, cable boxes, etc.).
5. Congure the IPL T SF interface through Telnet, then
access the IPL T SF interface using an Internet browser.

UL guidelines for rack mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines
pertain to the installation of an IPL T SF Series unit onto a rack.
1. Elevated operating ambient — If installed in a closed
or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with
the maximum ambient temperature specied by the
manufacturer [Tma = +32 to +122 °F (0 to +50 °C)].
2. Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack
should be such that the amount of air ow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in
the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to
the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and
the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
