1. OPTIMAL LOCATION
A. RF considerations for C-Box (antenna) location (CD1000RF Only)
The C-Box location must be carefully chosen. Many factors affect the
performance of the radio such as:
1. Distance between the C-Box and the Stations
2. Construction of walls between the C-Box and the Stations
3. Size and shape of the building
B. For optimum RF performance: (CD1000RF Only)
1. Install the C-Box so that the antenna is not near other metal enclosures,
equipment or wires (a minimum of 6 inches clearance is recommended).
2. Install the C-Box in a central location in the building.
3. If the C-Box is being installed in a closed metal A/V enclosure, a non-RadioLink C-Box version must be used in conjunction with a
RadioLink Enabler. The Enabler should be connected to one of the RS-232 ports of the C-Box and then mounted externally (outside of)
the A/V enclosure.
C. Locate C-Box less than two meters from AC receptacle
The (supplied) power cord is 78" (2 meters) in length.
2. MOUNT C-BOX TO RACK (OPTIONAL)
The C-Box can be mounted in an audio/video rack with the optional rack-mount kit. The kit includes 2 side brackets and a front trim
strip to dress a finished 2U (3½") opening.
3. HARDWARE SETUP
A. Master Address Switches
The Master Address switches come factory set to '01'. If the installation has multiple C-Boxes or Q-Masters,
each of their address switches must be set to a unique address. Valid addresses are 01 through 15.
Extra care should be taken to ensure that the address is set correctly. The switches have been labeled identifying the left switch as the
"ones" digit and the right switch as the "tens" digit of the address.
Note: The Master Network consists of up to fifteen 'Masters'. A 'Master' is any one of the following Vantage products: Q-Master, C-Box,
C-Box with RadioLink.
IMPORTANT!! Do not allow C-Boxes or Masters to operate with identical Master Addresses. Unpredictable system behavior will result.
