Application Diagrams
One to One Mode
Direct connection between the Transmitter and Receiver or through a Gigabit LAN via a dedicated gigabit switch hub.
One to Many Mode
Requires a dedicated Gigabit switch. If using an existing network, configure a VLAN to segregate the Transmitter and Receivers from other network traffic. Each VLAN can support only one Transmitter, but up to 253 Receivers.
