6. Setting up Spectra 6.1 Setting up Spectra in wired system 6.1.2 TCP/IP Mode (Recommended) Wiring Diagram: Output- RS485 (Cat5e/CAt6) Power adapter 12V 3.
Description: Connect the Spectra controller as shown in wiring diagram above. When using TCP Active Hub, Spectra can be configured to transfer data for displays (CDUs, SDUs and PDUs) and HTSUs over TCP/IP connection to TCP Active Hub. TCP Active Hub must be connected to same local network as Spectra is connected to.
6.1.3 Serial Mode (over RS485) Wiring Diagram: Volume Knob - Rotate clockwise to increase volume Power adapter 12V 3.43A To connect external amplifier or headphone (optional) 2 x 8Ω speaker Ethernet switch Description: Connect the Spectra controller as shown in wiring diagram above.
Refer below image for reference (TCP Active Hub): Patch cord (Cat5e or Cat6) Note: It is recommended to use Cat5e or Cat6 LAN cable/Patch cord Length of wire between Spectra controller “CDU” port and “IN” port of Active Hub can go up to 50m. 6.2 Providing LAN connectivity: Connect a LAN cable/Patch cord from network switch to LAN port on Spectra controller in order to provide internet or LAN connectivity. 6.
