Configuration
Performing an upgrade
AdderLink XD522 units are flash upgradeable using the method outlined \
here.
The same upgrade file is used to upgrade both the transmitter and rece\
iver units
(although they are upgraded individually).
Warning: During the upgrade process, ensure that power is not
interrupted as this may leave the unit in an inoperable state.

Operation
In operation, many AdderLink XD522 installations generally require no
intervention once configured. The transmitter and receiver units take \
care of
all connection control behind the scenes so that you can continue to wor\

Using hotkeys
The AdderLink XD522 units provide hotkey features to allow you to check \
and
adjust certain aspects of operation. Using the hotkeys you can:
• Monitor link quality using the Dashboard (see opposite),
• Choose the preferred link rate mode, and/or
• Choose between line in and microphone modes at the receiver.
To use hotkeys

27 Link cable interference protection While the Category rating (e.g. CAT 5e, CAT 6a, etc.) determines the electrical performance of a cable, another vital part of the overall cable specification is its protection from interference. As cabling distances and data rates increase, so too does the susceptibility to interference, from both external and internal sources. Proximity to other electromagnetic sources are the main external...
