Setting up Spectra

Setting up Spectra in wired system
TCP/IP Mode (Recommended)

Wiring Diagram:

Description:

•  Connect the Spectra controller as shown in wiring diagram above.
• When using TCP Active Hub, Spectra can be configured to transfer data for displays (CDUs, SDUs and PDUs) and HTSUs over TCP/IP connection to TCP Active Hub.
•  TCP Active Hub must be connected to same local network as Spectra is connected to.
•  It is recommended to use this mode if using TCP Active Hub (for setting up TCP Active Hub refer “TCP Active Hub installation guide”)

Note:

•  It is recommended to use Cat5e or Cat6 LAN cable/Patch cord.
• When operating in TCP/IP mode we won’t be using CDU port.

Serial Mode (over RS485)

Wiring Diagram:

Description:
Connect the Spectra controller as shown in wiring diagram above.

1. Driving displays (CDUs, SDUs and PDUs):
2.  In order to drive displays connect one end of patch cord (Straight cable – RJ45 on both ends) to port marked “CDU” in Spectra and other end to Active Hub/TCP Active Hub port marked “IN”.
3.  All the End Devices (Displays) can be connected to any of the 16 output ports of Active Hub. Refer to Active Hub installation guide for further details, ensure that the DIP switch setting of the Active Hub is as per the document and that termination is disabled.

Refer below image for reference (TCP Active Hub):

Note:

•  It is recommended to use Cat5e or Cat6 LAN cable/Patch cord
•  Length of wire between Spectra controller “CDU” port and “IN” port of Active Hub can go up to 50m.

Providing LAN connectivity:
Connect a LAN cable/Patch cord from network switch to LAN port on Spectra controller in order to provide internet or LAN connectivity.
Connecting Speakers:
There are two RJ45 ports provided on Spectra unit marked “AUDIO” which can be used to drive two 4 ohm speakers.
RJ45 cable connection for speaker (T-568B):
Use White Orange and Orange pair to connect speaker wires.

Volume knob is provided to change volume level, rotate it clockwise to increase volume.
