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.
It is recommended to use this mode if using TCP Active Hub (for setting up TCP Active Hub
refer “TCP Active Hub installation guide”)
Note:
It is recommended to use Cat5e or Cat6 LAN cable/Patch cord.
When operating in TCP/IP mode we won’t be using CDU port.
