RC4-E4P™ Installation Instructions
Updated: 9/20/2021
Supporting the Poly EagleEye IV and
Poly RGP300/500/700 &amp; G7500 Codecs
TEST YOUR LINK CABLE
We highly recommend using an Ethernet Network Tester/Analyzer alongside our provided PowerSniffer to confirm your LINK
cable’s wiring. Our PowerSniffer only tests conductor continuity and will not identify data integrity or capacity issues.

Test and verify your CAT5e/CAT6 STP or UTP SCTLink™ cable for T568A or T568B.
The SCTLink™ cable must be between 10m (minimum) and 100m (maximum) length.
Connect one end of the SCTLink™ cable to the “SCTLink™” connection on the Head End module.
Connect the other end of your SCTLink™ cable to the provided PowerSniffer.
Connect the WPS-12 power supply to the Head End module.
Connect the WPS-12 power supply to AC mains.
If the SCTLink™ cable is properly terminated, it will display eight GREEN LEDs.
If you get any other result, stop and re-terminate cable.
Once your SCTLink™ cable has been tested, please disconnect the WPS-12 power supply from the Head End module,
and the PowerSniffer from the SCTLink™ cable, before proceeding to install.
INSTALL THE EXTENSION KIT
Connect the camera-end cables:
1.
Connect the RCC-C030 Y Cable between the RC4-CE Camera End module and Poly EagleEye IV.
• Connect the Mini-HDCI end to the EagleEye IV’s Mini-HDCI input.
• Connect the RJ45 branch of the Y Cable to the RC4-CE’s RJ45 input labeled “Power Control”.
• Connect the HDMI branch of the Y Cable to the RC4-CE’s HDMI input labeled “Video Input”.
Connect the codec-end cables:
2.
3.
4.
Connect the RCC-H030 Y Cable between the RC4-HE Head End module and the codec.
Caution: Please ensure the connector is right-side up as it can be easily inserted ‘upside down’.
• Connect the 9Pin branch of the Y Cable to the RC4-HE’s 9Pin input labeled “Control”.
• Connect the HDMI branch of the Y Cable to the RC4-HE’s HDMI input labeled “Video Out”.
Connect one end of your SCTLink™ cable to the RC4-HE module’s “SCTLink™” port.
• Connect the other end of your SCTLink™ cable to the RC4-CE module’s “SCTLink™” port.
Connect the WPS-12 power supply to the RC4-HE’s power input labeled “Power +30VDC”.
Installation Status - Refer to our modules’ LEDs for installation status.

Frequently asked questions

The RC4-E4P uses a CAT5e/CAT6 STP or UTP SCTLink™ cable, specifically T568A or T568B, with a minimum length of 10m and a maximum of 100m.

The SCTLink™ cable can be tested with an Ethernet Network Tester/Analyzer. You can also use the provided PowerSniffer, which tests conductor continuity. A properly terminated cable will display eight GREEN LEDs on the PowerSniffer.

The LEDs on the modules indicate the operational status of the system. A Solid Green LED on the Camera Interface of RC4-CE indicates an active connection, while Red or Off indicates an inactive connection. The HDCP LED on RC4-CE being Solid Green or Blinking Green indicates a proper connection, while Off indicates a problem. The OK/LINK LED on RC4-HE blinking Red and Green indicates a proper connection, while Blinking Red or Off indicates a problem. Finally, the Power LED on RC4-HE being Solid Green indicates a proper connection, while Blinking Red or Off indicates a problem.
