4.5.4 Install the Wiring
IMPORTANT: Please read the wiring rules below before installing the wiring. If your com-
puter does not communicate with the network devices after installation and addressing, re-
read this section, as well as Section 4.5.5 on TCP/IQ addressing rules.
Connect each device to the network through its own cable in a Star Network. Do not connect
them in a serial fashion (as was done with the previous IQ current loop method).
Make sure each device has its own Category 5 certified cable connecting it to a central con-
centrator, most often a switch (as in Figure 4.3).
Detailed instructions follow.
1. Using a standard Category 5 cable, connect the network connector to a 100 Mb port on
an Ethernet switch that is used to form the TCP/IQ control network. For more detail see Sec-
tion 9 TCP/IQ Network Basics. If the amplifier is not to be connected to a TCP/IQ control
network, it can be temporarily connected to a computer’s Ethernet port with a crossover
cable (TX and RX pairs switched) to set up the amplifier for desired operation.
2. Connect the audio input wiring. See Section 2.3.2 for more detail on audio wiring.
3 Reconnect the amplifier’s power cord.
