Connecting Device

Kramer PT-872xr - Connecting Device - 1

Always switch off the power to each external device before connecting it to your PT-871/2-KIT, PT-871/2xr-KIT, WP-871xr, WP-872xr, PT-871xr, PT-872xr. After connecting your PT-871/2-KIT, PT-871/2xr-KIT, WP-871xr, WP-872xr, PT-871xr, PT-872xr, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device.

Kramer PT-872xr - Connecting Device - 2

We highly recommend using only Kramer UNIKAT cables with these products. If using 3^rd party shielded CAT-6A cables, both ends of the shield must be soldered to the connectors for the products to function properly. Do not use any jumpers, unshielded wall plates or mid-span cable connections. These extenders are not compatible with HDBaseT technologies. Prior to signal extension, ensure that the extension line cable is lying straight and not coiled.

Alternatively, you can connect the WP-821xr power adapter and PT-871xr is powered by PoC.

Setting Compression Level

PT-871xr, and PT-872xr include a Compression Options DIP-switch (DIP-switch 1) that enables selecting the compression level.

Kramer PT-872xr - Setting Compression Level - 1

By default, the Compression Options DIP-switch (DIP-switch 1) is set to OFF (up = standard compression).

Always set the DIP-switches identically for a connected transmitter and receiver.

When connecting to one of the wall plates, always set the DIP switches to high compression.

The following table describes the PT-871xr, and PT-872xr DIP-switches.

DIP-SwitchFunctions
DIP-switch 1:Compression OptionsOFF (up) – Standard compression level.ON (down) – High compression level for additional range extension.
DIP-switch 2Must be set to OFF (up).

To set the compression level for PT-871xr, and PT-872xr :

  1. Set DIP-switch 1 to the required compression level.
  2. Reboot the device.

The compression level is set.
