Cabling
Chapter 5 - Cabling
This Chapter will cover:
• Connecting keyboard and mouse
• Connecting an expansion chassis
• Connecting to a network
• Connecting input sources
• Connecting a control screen
• Connecting monitors
• Connecting power cables
5.1 Connecting the Keyboard and Mouse
The keyboard and mouse supplied with your system both have a USB interface. Identify vacant USB ports on the chassis and
plug them in.
The location of the USB ports are identied here
5.2 Connecting an Expansion Chassis
The Datapath range of expansion chassis are solutions that allow system builders and integrators the exibility to extend a
PCIe based PC or motherboard enabling a larger, distributed system architecture. The optical expansion chassis can be used to
create systems with distances of up to 100m between the host PC and the expansion chassis.
The expansion link is created using a combination of Host Link (HLink) and Slave Link (SLink) cards connected together using
a cable or a series of cables (copper or optical). These combined provide a high bandwidth PCI Express link from an upstream
host to a distributed expansion unit.
Expansion Chassis Model Backplane Number of available PCIe slots
VSN900X Express9-G3 (SLink-G3 pre installed) 9
VSN1100X Express11-G3 (SLink-G3 pre installed) 11
VSN900X-Optical Express9-G3 (SLink-Optical pre installed) 9
VSN1100X-Optical Express11-G3 (SLink-Optical pre installed) 11
5.2.1 Connecting the VSN900X and VSN1100X
If your expansion chassis is supplied as part of a wall controller system the HLink-G3 card will be pre-installed in the host
machine which contains the SBC. If the expansion chassis has been supplied separate to a host machine the HLink-G3 card
provided needs to be installed in the host PC.
You are likely to need a at blade and/or a cross head screwdriver for the installation of the HLink-G3 card; it would be useful to
have these to hand before you begin. Power down the PC (including peripherals), switch o at the mains and disconnect all the
cables connected to the computer and expansion chassis. Remove the PC cover. Locate a vacant PCIe slot (x8 on the
motherboard and remove the backing plate (retain all screws) .
Remove the HLink-G3 card from its packaging and secure it rmly into the empty PCIe slot. Screw the bracket to the back panel
of the PC and replace the cover.

Cabling
Cabling
The example above shows the connection of a VSN1192 - VSN1100X. For detailed instructions/information on connecting
multiple expansion chassis, refer to the Datapath Expansion Chassis User Guide supplied with your expansion chassis.
Connect the HLink-G3 and SLink-G3 using the ExCable-G3 provided.
The correct way to insert the cable is to have the release tab facing away from the card. The rectangular connector needs to be
fully inserted into the card until a denite click can be heard. This locks the cable in place. Failure to lock the connector in place
can result in the ExCable-G3 becoming separated from the card and the link between chassis being lost.
To remove the connector gently pull the ring pull tab to unlock the connector from the card then slide the connector out fully.
Normal copper cable handling precautions should be observed to avoid tight loops or kinks in theExCable-G3.
If more than one expansion chassis is supplied, ensure the cards are paired correctly by connecting the cards labelled “Link1”
together, the pair labelled “link2” together and so on. In the event that this is not possible i.e. the expansion chassis are shipped
separately and the cards are not labelled, connect the cards using the ExCables-G3 provided and re-install the Datapath Driver
Install package to reset the pairings.

5.2.2 Connecting the VSN900X-Optical and the VSN1100X-Optical
The Datapath optical solution allows expansion chassis to be located up to 100m away from the main controller. The Optical
solution can support up to PCIe Gen 3 x8 bandwidths between an HLink-Optical, located in the host machine and an
SLink-Optical, located in the expansion chassis. Full bandwidth is achieved by using two ExCable-Optical cables between each
HLink and SLink-Optical card .
Alternatively, PCIe Gen3 x4 bandwidth can be achieved using only one ExCable-Optical between each HLink-Optical and
SLink-Optical. This will reduce the total amount of video signal that can be transferred between the chassis. If x4 bandwidth is
acceptable, one HLink-Optical can be connected to two SLink-Optical cards, providing that the HLink-Optical is located in a x8
slot.
See creating a PCIe lane and lane link
x4 x8
If your optical expansion chassis is supplied as part of a complete wall controller system the HLink-Optical card will be
pre-installed in the host machine which contains the SBC. If the expansion chassis has been supplied separate to a host
machine, the HLink-Optical card provided needs to be installed in the host PC.
You are likely to need a at blade and/or a cross head screwdriver for the installation of the HLink-Optical card. Power down
the PC (including peripherals), switch o at the mains and disconnect all the cables connected to the computer and expansion
chassis. Remove the PC cover. Locate a vacant PCIe slot (x8) on the motherboard and remove the backing plate (retain all
screws) .
Remove the HLink-Optical card from its packaging and secure it rmly into the empty PCIe slot. Screw the bracket to the back
panel of the PC and replace the cover.
If more than one expansion chassis is supplied, ensure the cards are paired correctly by connecting the cards labelled “Link1”
together, the pair labelled “link2” are connected together and so on. In the event that this is not possible i.e. the expansion
chassis are shipped separately and the cards are not labelled, connect the cards using the ExCables-Optical provided and
re-install the Datapath Driver Install package to reset the pairings.
5.2.2.1 Connecting to a VSN1172
If the VSN1100X-Optical is being connected to a VSN1172, the full bandwidth (x8) is available in all PCIe slots. When using the
Datapath VSN1172 as a host machine it is recommended to connect multiple expansion chassis in a “Star”
conguration (i.e. place all HLink-Optical cards in the VSN1172 host machine). This is because each slot of the VSN1172 is
capable of supporting the full x8 Gen.3 connection to the HLink-Optical card. Other host machines that support multiple x8 or
greater slots should also be congured this way. For detailed instructions/information on connecting multiple expansion
chassis, refer to the Datapath Expansion Chassis User Guide supplied with your expansion chassis.
Cabling
Cabling
The ExCables-Optical should be inserted rmly into the connector on the HLink and SLink-Optical cards.
The correct way to insert the cable is to have the manufacturers label facing the card as shown above.
29
Cabling
Cabling
The rectangular connector needs to be fully inserted into the card until a denite click can be felt. This locks the cable in place.
Failure to lock the connector in place can result in the ExCable-Optical becoming separated from the card and the link between
chassis being lost.
Normal bre handling precautions should be observed to avoid tight loops or kinks in the ExCable-Optical. Bend radii below
75mm are not recommended and may result in bre breakage.
To remove the connector gently pull the ring pull tab to unlock the connector from the card then slide the connector out fully.
5.2.3 Creating the PCIe Link - x8 (Optical)
For maximum bandwidth, the HLink \SLink -Optical cards should be connected using two optical cables to form an eight-lane
(“x8”) link, capable of 64G-transfers/sec (approx 6.4GB/s eective data rate in each direction).
In “x8” mode the Jumper Link “J7” on the HLink-Optical card must be set to position 2-3 as shown below.
When creating the “x8” link, the ExCable-Optical connected into the top connector on the HLink-Optical card must also be
connected to the top connector on the SLink-Optical card. Similarly the second ExCable-Optical must connect between the
lower card connectors.

5.2.4 Creating the PCIe Link - p31-x4 (Optical)
For a reduced bandwidth connection or where a single HLink-Optical is used to connect to two separate SLink-Optical cards
(i.e. “Star” connection of two expansion chassis). In this conguration, for a single ExCable-Optical link the PCIe connection is
“x4” and the bandwidth is reduced to 3.2GB/s.
In “x4” mode the Jumper Link “J7” on the HLink-Optical card must be set to position 1-2 as shown below.
Either (or both) connectors on the HLink-Optical card can be used, but only the top connector of the SLink-Optical card.
Jumper Link “J7”
Connecting a p31-x4 link
5.2.5 Frame Locking
When using the Datapath Optical Expansion Link it is not possible to maintain display frame locking. It is assumed that displays
controlled from the expansion chassis would be suciently far away from the host machine that this will not be a problem. It
should be noted that all displays within an expansion chassis (or cluster of chassis) connected using a standard HLink-G3 and
ExCable-G3 will remain frame-locked to each other.
5.3 Slots and Bandwidths - Optical Systems
The optical solutions oer a variety of congurations and bandwidths depending on customer requirements. Each
HLink-Optical is capable of transferring up to PCIe Gen.3 x8 bandwidths across distances up to 100m. To achieve this the
HLink-Optical must be installed in a x8 PCIe slot on the host backplane and connected to the corresponding SLink-Optical card
pre-installed in the PICMG 1.3 slot in the expansion chassis using two ExCable-Optical cables.
A p31-x4 bandwidth can also be achieved by connecting the HLink-Optical (installed in a x8 PCIe slot ) to two separate SLink-Optical
cards. If the HLink-Optical is installed in a PCIe p31-x4 then it can only be connected to one SLink-Optical card.

requirement is for x4, only one ExCable-Optical is required, however this reduces the available bandwidth by 50% and therefore
reduces the amount of video signal that can be transferred.

5.4 Connecting to a Network
The optional Wall Control software enables the user to operate and manage the video wall display remotely, via a network. The
SBC has two LAN ports, plug in your network cable (not supplied) to a LAN port and connect the wall controller to the LAN, as
shown below:
5.4.1 Network Security
It should be noted that network ports have a potential vulnerability. If your system is working in a secure environment you
probably don’t need to worry about unauthorised access to the LAN port. If your system is on a network that is generally
accessible, you will probably want to restrict access to the ports. The Wall Control software application enables you to congure
access to the ports using a network access dialogue, see the Wall Control help le (located on the Recovery Media) for more
detailed information.

5.5 Connecting Input Sources
Each system is custom built and each controller will dier depending on the number and models of input cards installed. The
packing list enclosed with your system will enable you to establish which input cards you have installed in your wall controller.
Contained within the product documentation folder are PCIe card product leaets which give details on how the cards are
installed and any accessories which may accompany them. For detailed information on specic cards please consult the
relevant user guide. Each capture card user guide can be located on the Datapath Recovery Media supplied with your system.
5.6 Connect Monitors and Control Screen
Each system could support any number of screens from 4 to 32 depending on hardware, however the following information is a
guide based on a 12 screen 4x3 video wall system.
The number of graphics cards in your system determines how many screens will be available on your video wall. The
ImageDP4+ graphics cards each support a maximum of 4 screens, one output per screen.
5.6.1 Screen Order
The screen order is determined by where the graphics cards are installed in the system. The card installed nearest to the SBC
is card 1 which is the rst card to be initialised and will generate the desktop for the top left monitor on the video wall plus the
3 adjacent screens. The second card drives the next four screen and so on. Each graphics card has 4 connectors, numbered as
follows:
5.5.1 Cable Handling
Great care must be taken when connecting cables. Ensure the cable connectors are the correct type for the
connector on the cards. Push the cable connector on squarely, there is no requirement to force the
connector in place. Poor cable handling could result in damaged pins in the cable connector, this in turn could
cause serious and irreversible damage to the printed circuit board. Any damage caused this way is not covered
under the warranty.

8.1 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Wall Control-red
8.1.1 I can’t Save a Layout le?
The server does not have a USB License Dongle installed and so Wall Control is working in limited Demo mode.
8.1.2 Access is denied
This message means that the attempt to connect to the server application failed because the authentication information
provided was not acceptable.
One of the following has occurred:
The user name, the password or the machine/domain that you have entered are not correct. Try entering the details again.
8.1.3 RPC Server Unavailable
This message means that the attempt to connect to the server failed.
If you are connecting to My Computer:
Is the server application running?
Did an error occur that prevented the server application starting the RPC server?
Are you using the correct port name?
If you are connecting across a network:
Has the Wall Control-red server been activated?
When Wall Control-red is installed on the server, a serial number must be entered to enable the networking features.
Is the Wall Control-red server congured for network access?
Is the server application running?
Did an error occur that prevented the server application starting the RPC server?
Are you using the correct port?
If a connection is possible with the Wall Control application either remotely or locally, you can use the Server Application
Manager dialogue to nd out if the server application has been installed, is running and which port and port name it is using and
if an error occurred. In the Wall Control application, go to the Congure menu and select Server Applications.
If a connection is not possible with the Wall Control application, you will need to look at the application event viewer on the Wall
Control Server.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
8.1.4 The endpoint is a duplicate
This error message suggests that an attempt to open a communication port failed because it is already in use.
If the Wall Control server has not been activated or the networking has been disabled in the Wall Control Administrator dialogue
or Wall Control has not been activated, the problem is with the port name.
If networking is enabled, the problem could be with either the port number or the port name.
You can nd out the port number and the port name that the server application is using through the Server Application
Manager dialogue or the application event viewer.
You can nd out which port numbers are in use on a machine with the netstat command. There is no way to nd out which port
names are in use.
Use Wall Control | Congure Menu | Server Application Manager to change the port number and/or port name and restart the
server application.
8.1.5 The remote procedure call failed and did not execute
This is displayed when trying to contact a server application that has been stopped after it had been connected to successfully.
Go to the Server Application Manager dialogue and start the server application again.
8.1.6 Changing Screen Resolution
Prior to making any changes to the resolution, it is recommended that the Vision server be stopped beforehand. This can be
done using Wall Control | Congure Menu | Server Application Manager.
The servers retain resources on the graphics card which may not be available if the resolution is changed.
8.1.7 How do I connect a remote command controller via RS-232 or IP-Telnet? E.G. Crestron or AMX
controllers.
Support for RS-232 and IP remote control of Datapath machines is provided through our Wall Control-red software. This
package includes a ‘remote command line interface’ that can be used to select and congure the required method of control.
This can be accessed under the ‘Congure->Remote Command Line’ menu option while Wall Control is connected to the server.
Once congured, the Wall Control-red program does not need to remain open and the system will process remote commands
until the conguration is changed.
In order to use the remote command line you must rst select the required method of control via the ‘Active Server’ drop down
list in the ‘remote command line’ dialogue. This allows you to select between ‘Com Port Command Line Interface’ (RS-232) and
‘Telnet Command Line Interface’ (IP network based control). Once a server has been selected, its settings can be congured by
pressing the ‘Settings’ button and it must also be enabled via the ‘Enabled’ checkbox; the server specic settings include
options such as ports and transmission speed. Once the selected server has been activated then the ‘Status’ on the ‘Remote
Command Line’ dialogue should change to ‘Connected’. At this point the software should be ready to receive remote
commands and the Wall Control software can then be closed.
RS-232 and Telnet commands can be sent by any suitable remote device, including Crestron Controllers or PCs. Please note that
we do not provide any client software or support for the conguration or usage of these remote devices themselves though.
The commands sent to the controller via the remote command line interface should be in the format of Wall Control’s local
command line interface. The command usage includes the ability to open and close layout les, manipulate individual windows
properties and to change capture sources. These commands, which are detailed in the help le topic ‘Command Line Interface’,
can be tested by executing them locally on the server machine via the Windows command prompt ‘CMD.EXE’. When using the
‘Com Port Command Line’, each command will be executed when a carriage return or line feed character is encountered. For
Telnet, a carriage return immediately followed by a line feed is used to signify that the command should be executed. When
testing usage of the remote command line, the ‘Monitor’ window in the ‘Remote Command Line’ dialogue will display all
commands as they are received.

Maintenance
Chapter 9 - Maintenance
9.1 Filter Maintenance
The system lter is an integral part of the wall controller and as such it needs to be maintained correctly. Failure to maintain
the lter can result in the system overheating and causing it to fail. In normal operating conditions the lter should be removed
and cleaned every 3 months. However, this 3 month period is a guide only and it can be increased to every 6 months or
decreased to one month depending on the levels of dust in the environment the system is operating in.
It is recommended that the condition of the lter is checked at regular intervals.
The lter can be removed and cleaned whilst the system is in operation, system shutdown is not necessary.
Note:
Failure to maintain the system lter could result in damage to your system and invalidate the warranty.
9.1.1 Remove the Filter
Open the front panel door and locate the lter housing screw, remove the screw and lift the lter housing away from the front
panel.
Filter Housing Screw
Filter Housing
Filter
Remove the lter from the housing and shake it to remove any dust particles, this should not be done in close proximity to the
system to avoid dust ingress. Ideally, the lter should be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner.
Note: The lter should never be immersed in water or any other cleaning liquid.
For advice on replacement lters, please contact Datapath Ltd.
