FCC Verification, Industry Canada & European CE Information

FCCThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

WARNING: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by RMG Networks could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Industry CanadaThis Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment Regulations. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

5

Important Safety InstructionsThis device has undergone various tests in order to comply with safety standards. Inappropriate use may be dangerous. Please follow the instructions in this guide to ensure your safety during the installation and operation of the device. For safety and proper operation, keep in mind the following factors:

• It is important that your IVS SDA be properly ventilated. Do not fully enclose the IVS SDA in any type of recess, cabinet, kiosk, hole, nook, or enclosure unless there are fans or a passive thermal exhaust that can constantly bring in new air to replace the trapped air in the space around the outside of the device.

• Place the IVS SDA in a location free from dust and other particles.

• Ambient temperature should be between 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to +40 °C) in a non-condensing environment.

With the above factors in mind, please be aware of the following section from your hardware maintenance contract:

In the event that Hardware Maintenance is required due to: (i) abuse or mishandling of the Hardware by Customer, or (ii) any environmental conditions where the Hardware is located (dust, moisture, etc.), or (iii) any other technical issues (electrical “spikes” or the like), or (iv) any other external factors outside the normal operating conditions for the Hardware; then the charges for Maintenance associated therewith shall be paid by Customer.

Step-by-Step Connections for the IVS SDA-930WARNING: Failure to set up your IVS SDA sequentially according to the steps below may cause configuration difficulties or loss of functionality.

Refer to Figure 7 on page 20 for the following connections:

1. Connect the audio output (6a) to your display’s audio input or to external audio system/speakers.

2. Insert a standard Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port (9).

3. If you need VGA output, connect the male end of the DVI-to-VGA adapter to the DVI-I connector (16) and rotate the pin screws clock-wise to secure the adapter. Connect the female end of the adapter to a video connection.

4. If you need a second DVI connection, connect the smaller end of the DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter to one of the two displayports (15). Connect the other end of the adapter to a digital display device.

Note: If you ever need to remove the Display-Port-to-DVI adapter, grasp the adapter with your thumb and index finger at the point of connection, then squeeze the adapter from below to unlock it and release the connection.

5. Connect the female end of the power cord to the power input (5) and plug the other end into a standard AC outlet.

To remove, squeeze the adapter from below to release the connection.

22

6. Briefly press the power switch (1) on the IVS SDA.

Note: The first time you connect your IVS SDA, the message “One Moment Please” may appear on the video display. Depending on your network, this message might appear for up to one minute. After the IVS SDA boots up, a “Welcome” screen appears that displays the name of the IVS SDA, its serial number, and the IP address that you'll need to set up your IVS SDA. Use this IP address to access the Web Interface.

7. Refer to the following IVS SDA configuration guide to configure your IVS SDA-930:

http://support.rmgnetworks.com/documentation/IVS_SDA_Configuration_v12.0.2.pdf

Supported Output ConfigurationsWith the use of cables and/or dongles, you can set up the IVS SDA-930 to support additional configurations of two or three outputs. Refer to the following document for detailed descriptions of different output configurations that can be used with the IVS SDA-930: http://support.rmgnetworks.com/documentation/SDA-930_SupportedOutputConfigurations.pdf.
