Overview, Requirements, and Installation Concept

The Lenovo IP Controller includes the following components:

  • Touch Display
  • Link
  • 5-meter (16.4-feet) CAT5e RJ45 Ethernet cable
  • 2-meter (6.4 feet) HDMI Cable
  • 1-meter (3.2 feet) HDMI Cable
  • 1-meter (3.2-feet) USB 3.0 Type-B to USB-A cable
  • AC Power Adapter

The installation requires one CAT5e cable to be installed, point-to-point between two devices: Touch Display and Link. The Touch Display and Link are not on the same network. No other wired network devices may share the cabling. 

The maximum distance between the Touch Display and Link is 100 meters (328 feet) using a dedicated CAT5e cable.
