Connecting the System Cable
The System cable links the
Supervisor Phantom
Manager
and
Slaves
in a daisy-chain pattern, see
Figure 5-11.
To connect the System cable to each
Slave
unit:
1. Connect one RJ45M connector to the first
Slave’s
RJ45F System Out port.
2. Connect the other RJ45M connector to the next
Slave’s
RJ45F System In port.
Connect all the
Slaves
in this way.
Connect a Terminator to the RJ45F System Out port of
the last
Slave
in the series.

You can also connect each unit to the unit that is
physically closest to it. For example, you can connect
the
Supervisor Phantom Manager
to
Slave
#4, and
Slave
#4 to
Slave
#2.
Before installing the System cable, we recommend that
you work out how to connect all the units using the
shortest possible length of cable. A shorter cable length
increases video quality, and reduces noise.
