CHAPTER 3: Installation
3.2 Installation Steps
Before connecting the ClassWork Plus Multiloop, set up the classroom layout by
evenly dividing the Student stations between all five loops. The Teacher Unit
must
always be
in Loop 1. The maximum number of ClassWork Plus Multiloop units in
each loop should be no more than 16.
1. Place the CAT5 ClassWork Plus Multiloop away from fluorescent lights, strong
magnetic and electromagnetic fields, and all other sources of electrical noise.
2. Connect the 9-VAC power adapter to the power connector on the ClassWork
Plus Multiloop’s front panel and plug the cord into a wall socket.
3. Connect the loops using standard CAT5 FTP system cable as follows:
a. Connect the OUT port of Loop 1 of the Multiloop to the IN port of the
first ClassWork Plus unit.
b. Connect the OUT port of the last ClassWork Plus unit in the loop to the
IN port of Loop 1 of the Multiloop. For best performance, connect the
Teacher Unit as the last station in Loop 1.
c. Connect the other loops to the rest of the ClassWork Plus units, as
described above.
4. Set the Student Units’ ID numbers according to your classroom layout. To set
the ID numbers, see the CAT5 ClassWork Plus manual (AC840A-R2).
