Basic Wiring Diagram
Wiring and Connections
WyreStorm recommends that all wiring for the installation is run and terminated prior to making connections to the switcher. Read through this section in it’s entirety before running or terminating the wires to ensure proper operation and to avoid damaging equipment.
IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines
- The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, and electrical or environmental interference will have an adverse effect on signal transmission which may limit performance. Steps should be taken to minimize or remove these factors completely during installation for best results.
- WyreStorm recommends using pre-terminated HDMI and USB cables due to the complexity of these connector types. Using pre-terminated cables will ensure that these connections are accurate and will not interfere with the performance of the product.
RS-232 Wiring
The EX3-100-EARC uses a 3-pin RS-232 with no hardware flow control. Most control systems and computers are DTE where pin 2 is RX, this can vary from device to device. Refer to the documentation for the connected device for pin functionally to ensure that the correct connections can be made.
Dipswitch Settings
The dipswitches on the TX and RX allow for changing the audio transmitting mode. Use the table to the right to configure the extender’s audio mode based on the application’s requirement.
When setting a dipswitch setting, power off both the transmitter and receiver before making a change. Once set, the units can be powered back on.
Note: When DIP is switched to Optical De-embed, extender will automatically filter EDID and only support PCM 2CH.
Troubleshooting
