5700ACO
Automatic Changeover
Automatic Changeover Revision 1.0 Page 9
LTC 1 OUT, LTC 2 OUT:* These two male XLR connectors provide the balanced LTC1 and LTC2
time code outputs from the changeover.
* Requires factory installed +AUX hardware option on 5700MSC-IP, IP Master Clocks are available at
extra cost.
ACO CTRL/STATUS: The top row of the 16 pin terminal strip has two GPI inputs to control the
5700ACO and two GPI Outputs that provide tallies to indicate the status
of the 5700ACO.
MSC: The bottom row of the 16 pin terminal strip has the two GPI Outputs from the A and B
5700MSC-IP units and a pair of GPI inputs that will be connected to both the A and B
5700MSC-IP units.
The cables can be secured into the removable portion of the terminal strips using a small
screwdriver. The removable part of the terminal strip is then inserted into the rear panel and
secured using the hold down screws. The pinout of this connector is shown in Table
2-3.

2.1.4. Ethernet Connections
The 5700ACO can be configured using the VistaLINK
®
-C Configuration tool connected by Ethernet.
(See section
5.1 for information on configuring the IP address of the 5700ACO and section 5.1.1 for
information about installing and using the VistaLINK
®
software)
The 5700ACO is designed to be used with either 10Base-T (10 Mbps), 100Base-TX (100 Mbps) also
known as Fast Ethernet or 1000Base-T (1000 Mbps) also known as Gigabit Ethernet, twisted pair
Ethernet cabling systems. When connecting for 10Base-T systems, category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable as
well as EIA/TIA – 568 100Ω STP cable may be used. When connecting for 100Base-TX systems,
category 5 UTP cable is required. When connecting to 1000Base-T systems, category 5 or higher UTP
or STP cable is required. The cable must be “straight through” with a RJ-45 connector at each end.
Make the network connection by plugging one end of the cable into the RJ-45 receptacle of the
5700ACO and the other end into a port of the supporting Ethernet switch.
The straight-through RJ-45 cable can be purchased or can be constructed using the pinout information
in Table
2-4. A colour code wiring table is provided in Table 2-4 for the current RJ 45 standards (AT&T
258A or EIA/TIA 258B colour coding shown). Also refer to the notes following the table for additional
wiring guide information.
