Wiring for IOLAN to Video Server
The following illustration is the wiring diagram for the IOLAN server to video device.
The lines in the diagram are colored only to show the connections; they do not correspond to
any wire colors on an RJ45 cable. If you are using DB9 connectors, the inside of the RJ45
side of the connetor’s wires are counted from 8 to 1, with the connecting tab on top. The
connector’s wire colors are never consistent either, so Avid strongly recommends that you
use a volt meter to confirm the correct color wire for the 2, 4, 5, and 7 pins of the RJ45 cable,
and then plug them into their appropriate place on the DB9 connector.
