Connection and Setup
Connect Base Station Receiver
The receiver includes a USB type B connector and an Ethernet connector (IEEE 802.3af)
on the front of the unit for connection to the console (USB) or to a switch in your Net3
network.
USB
When the base station is connected directly to a console by USB type B, the RFR is powered by and
controls only the console the base station is connected to. ETC supplies a 1.8m (6 ft.) USB cable for
base station connection to a console or USB hub. The maximum distance between products is 5m (16
ft.).

up the remote. The remote will boot into the Console Selection List.

Ethernet
For use with the Eos console, the base station may connect directly to the Ethernet port which is IEEE
802.3af. Both data and power are provided through this connection.
For use with a Congo, Congo jr, Eos,or Ion, the base station can connect Ethernet through a powered
Ethernet switch. If a powered Ethernet switch is not available, the base station can connect through a
ethernet switch to the console and from a USB power source to the USB type B connection on the base
station for power.
C A U T I O N : You may utilize either the Ethernet connection or the USB connection for data to
the console, but not both.
N o t e : Base USB mode will not appear as an option unless the remote discovers a base
station connected via USB to a console and set to the same frequency as the
remote.
N o t e : For single base station use, no configuration is needed if defaults are used. For
multiple base stations, custom configurations, and connection issues, further
configuration will be needed.
