Hey, another question:
Regarding the 4-port passive hub, there are no jumpers to determine the PixelNet Universe like on the 16-port Passive (or Active) hub. How is it done?

Edit (something that came to me as I was brushing my teeth to go to bed!):
I think I may have answered my own question: just use the PixelNet combiner in reverse (i.e. Place your Pixelnet Input Cable into the Output Jack) and plug your 4-port Passive Hub into the desired universe of the Combiner's Input?

The normal use is to plug a cat5 cable into one of the (16) powered pixelnet jacks on the active or passive source hub. the 4port throws away the power on 6 of the wires and replaces it with the power connected to the 4port power terminals. So, you don't select the universe on the 4port hub, it inherits the same universe selected at the 16port.
howerever, there is another option... knowing that the pixelnet out connector carries 4 universes, you could connect the pixelnet out connector to the 4pt hub if you simply wanted to get the first universe (regardless of how the 16port is selected). if you want universe 2, 3, or 4 -- then use the (de)combiner board to break out the pairs -- the pixelnet out goes into the combiner board, and the 4pt hub connects to one of the 4 ports that have the 4 separated universes.
