ADDERLink AV102T Quick Start

							The AdderLink AV 2-Port Computer Access Module is a highly compact devic\
e that allows you to share a single computer between two sets of peripheral devices. 
The AdderLink AV 2-Port Computer Access Module connects to various ports\
 on your computer. You then connect it via CAT 5, 5e or 6 cabling to two AdderLink AV receiver units\
 (either AdderLink AV100R or AV101R), each of which can be located up to 300 metres from the module.\
 Your video displays and speakers are linked to the remote AdderLink AV100 or AV101 receiver units. See im\
portant note below.
The AdderLink AV 2-Port Computer Access Module uses a USB port to derive\
 its power from the host computer, dispensing with the need for a separate power supply and thus \
simplifying installation.

Safety information
• For use in dry, oil free indoor environments only.
• Do not use to link between buildings.
• Not suitable for use in hazardous or explosive environments or next to highly flammable materials.
• Ensure that all twisted pair interconnect cables are installed in compliance with all applicable wiring regulations. 
• Do not connect the CATx link interface (RJ45 style connector) to any other equipment, particularly network or telecommunications equipment.
• Where possible, avoid laying the twisted pair link cable(s) alongside power cables. 
• Do not attempt to service the module yourself.
• The modules do not provide ground isolation and should not be used for any applications that require ground isolation or galvanic isolation.
• For correct operation, the transmitter and receiver modules must have ground connections. At the computer end, this is achieved by ensuring that the computer that the module is connected to has a ground connection. At the audio/visual device end, this can be achieved by ensuring that the power supply is connected to a grounded power outlet. Alternatively, a ground connection will be made via the monitor, if the monitor is itself grounded.

Resolutions and cable lengths
The maximum resolutions achievable are: 1600 x 1200 x 60Hz at 200m and 1280 x 1024 x 60Hz at 300m. 
Do not exceed 300m cable lengths in any installation.
Host computer connections
The module does not require a power adapter because it derives all of its power from the host computer. Therefore the USB cable must always be connected to a USB port on the computer that is capable of providing up to 500mA.
Receiver unit connections
For details about connections at the receiver units, please refer to the guides for those devices.
1  Disconnect the CATx link cables from the module. This procedure will not work if the CATx links are present.
2 Attach the module’s Video connector to the monitor whose EDID is required (or an Adder DDC Ghost unit containing the required EDID).
3 Attach the USB and serial port connectors to a computer. See ‘Serial port configuration’.
4 On the computer, open a terminal program and send the character e (0x65) to the Com port to which the module’s serial connector is attached.
 If the EDID harvest is successful, the module will send OK to confirm. If unsuccessful, it will send FAIL - check the connections and try again.
5 Reconnect the module in the usual manner for normal operation.  
EDID display information
The module contains a default set of EDID information that supports display resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz. If required, you can harvest and store new EDID information from your display or an Adder DDC Ghost device. 
Serial port configuration
The module can automatically alter its baud rate to match that of the host computer’s serial port. To do this the other serial parameters must first be correct: 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no hardware handshaking. These are usually the default settings, however, if you do need to alter them, open the Windows Device Manager, locate the entry for the COM port to which the module is connected and view the Properties > Port Settings tab. Once set, open a terminal program and send a Return (carriage return) to the Com port to which the module is attached until the message USB Dual Access CAM version 1.00 is returned. The module can now accept commands.   
IMPORTANT
Earlier versions of AdderLink AV100R and AV101R receivers are not compatible with the AdderLink AV102T transmitter. Use only serial numbers as follows: 
• AdderLink AV 100R - s/n 6000 or greater.
• AdderLink AV 101R - s/n 2000 or greater.
