Usage
When TV, USB-devices, power supply and USB-C cables are connecting, the system is operational. Any device connected to a USB-C will start charging. The red LED-indicator on the back indicates which USB-C port is active and connects to the TV and USB-devices. Toggle through the active ports by short-press the console-button on the back. Please see www.ochno.com for more usage examples.
Installation
Since regular USB-C cables can not be longer than 2m it is usally best to mount the main unit below the table surface together with the power supply. O-PC-3 has integrated mounting brackets and the power supply comes with seperate mounting brackets. Use suitable screws (not included) for the material of the table. HDMI and USB-A cables for connecting TV/projector and USB devices are not included and depending on the length between the table and TV/USB-devices carefull consideration in this selection is needed to ensure robust functionality. Some guidelines: – Passive HDMI cable should not be over 6m. For longer distances, use active HDMI-cable with integrated repeater (up to 10m), or Ethernet-repeater (e.g. HDBase-T) or active optical cable (for distances over 10m). – Passive USB 3.0 cable can not be longer 3m.
For distances between 3m-7m, active cable with integrated repeater can be used. For longer distances, use active optical cable (ensure both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 support). Note that Ethernet-based repeater usually only supports USB 2.0 If Ochno LED Socket or LED-switch are use, the adapter for these are connected to the USB-port marked IO Devices. For O-PC-3-Single only the Port 1 is active for video and USB pass-through. Port 2-4 only provides charging. Please see www.ochno.com for more installation examples.
Configuration
The default configuration is normally sufficient when O-PC-3 is used for only BYOD-mode (Bring-your-own-device) and when using Ochnos LED-switches. If the unit needs to be re-configured, please download Ochno Management Console at www.ochno.com/support.
Examples when custom configuration is needed:
