5.1 - Installation notes
4HD/5HD-HUB units operate on a standard network, made of standard network cables and one or more
network switches.
4HD/5HD-HUB units are connected through a main scoring network switch, that links all the 4HD/5HD-HUB
units, MMS digital, TCS and Q-COM sub networks together with the second network card of the
ConquerorPRO Server.
QubicaAMF supplies scoring network switches with 8 ports. One additional network switch will be supplied
for TCS or MMS Digital kits. QubicaAMF also supplies the network cables needed for the installation. Each
cable’s length is dimensioned according to the distance between each 4HD/5HD-HUB unit and the main (or
slave) scoring network switch (refer to table T.20.096 and T.20.079 for standard installations or to table
T.20.082 if XLi pinspotters with safety kit are present).
The connection between the main scoring network switch with the Front Desk, between the main scoring
network switch with the MMS digital, the TCS and the Q-COM network switches and the single channel
video server operates on a Cat.5e solid network cable, that must not exceed 300 feet – 100 m supplied by
QubicaAMF.
Please refer to Table T.40.012 for the connection for the Cat. 5e wall mounting boxes.
When a custom length patch cable is needed, make it following the instructions in Table T.40.005.
For a correct installation the network has to be balanced. This means that between each 4HD/5HD-HUB
unit and the ConquerorPRO server there will always be the same number of switches and divided in
homogenous groups.
Install each scoring network switch in the middle of the lanes area that serves.
For an ease troubleshooting process fix each network switch with the port side facing downward, in a
manner that is easily accessible and connect each 4HD/5HD-HUB to his scoring network switch respecting
the correct port numbering.
QubicaAMF suggests the installation of a cable conduit along the whole length of the curtain wall, to
accommodate the network and the audio/video cables.
Example: In a 60 lane installation: a total of six network switches will be supplied (one used as main and five
as slaves, each slave will serve a group composed by twelve lanes):
fix the main scoring network switch between lanes 30 and 31;
fix the first slave scoring network switch between lanes 6 and 7, the second between lanes 18 and
19, the third between lanes 30 and 31, and so on;
connect the first 4HD/5HD-HUB of each group to port number 1 of his slave scoring network switch,
the second to port 2, the third to port 3, and so on.
Connect the first slave scoring network switch to the port 1 of the main scoring network switch, the
second to the port 2 of the main scoring network switch, the third to the port 3 of the main scoring
network switch, and so on.
