or 4.2.2. Two Devices on pages 10–11 for more information.
Insert 4 cage nuts in the openings on the rack posts where you want to mount the antenna
distributor(s).
Position the antenna distributor(s) in front of the rack posts so that the 4 x mounting openings on the
mounting brackets face the openings on the rack posts with cage nuts.
Using a screwdriver, mount the antenna distributor(s) to the rack posts with 4 screws.
Single Device
Attach the supplied long mounting brackets with the mounting screws to the antenna distributor. Use a
Philips screwdriver to tighten the mounting screws.

EDGE ED-1
Product code: D1485
Setup with Single Device
In a setup with 1 antenna distributor, you can connect up to 4 receivers and 1 set of
unidirectional/omnidirectional antennas.
The antennas receive the signal from the transmitter(s) and send it to the antenna distributor. The
antenna distributor sends the signal to each connected receiver.
The receivers, transmitters and the unidirectional/omnidirectional antennas are not supplied with the
device. See 3.4. Accessories on page 8.

EDGE ED-1
Product code: D1485
Setup with Two Devices
In a setup with 2 antenna distributors, you can connect up to 8 receivers and 1 set of
unidirectional/omnidirectional antennas.
The antennas receive the signal from the transmitter(s) and send it to the antenna distributor. The
antenna distributor sends the signal to the other connected antenna distributor. Both antenna distributors
send the signal to each connected receiver.
The receivers, transmitters and the unidirectional/omnidirectional antennas are not supplied with the
device. See 3.4. Accessories on page 8.
