into the AutoView switch power socket on the
rear of the unit. Plug the other end into an appro-
priate AC power source.

module, plug one end of a CAT 5 cable (up to
100 feet or 30 meters) into a numbered port
and the other end into the RJ-45 connector on
the AVRIQ module. For an IAC module, plug the
CAT 5 connector into a numbered port.
