I think this is the right forum, but

I purchased the Buffalo IR 100 Receiver,

http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=182-315

and 3 - Wired Home WHIRR-KJ IR Receiver Keystone Jack

http://www.parts-express.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?Partnumber=182-834&FTR=%20182-834&CFID=22498049&CFTOKEN=55689179

I have cat 5e wire to the 3 locations to use the IR Receiver.

The instructions on the Reciever tells me which wires to connect to the "+", "-" and "ground".

the Buffalo IR 100 does not tell me which wires goes to:

V+, Sig and Ground.

I assumed that the "+" on the IR receiver will go to V+ on Buffalo IR 100

the "-" will go to the Sig

and the Ground to the ground?

Until I read the instructions on the Buffalo IR 100 and it states:
"the systems power (V+) and Signal (Sig) use one twisted pair.
System Ground (GND) can use both wire of the second twisted pair)."

but does not indicdate which one. and it seems that the V+ and Sig share teh same twisted pair?

That makes no sense to me.

for those that hooked this up, can you explain?
thanks for any help

I found this very helpful video from Youtube on exactly how to wire the Buffalo IR.

It is located at the iautomater.com website. Just search buffalo and you will find it.

I am looking at purchasing this unit soon.
