If you are integrating components from a Vicon MX T-Series system into a Vicon Vantage system, it is assumed that your MX T-Series cameras are already set up and connected to MX Giganet unit(s). It also assumed that you have already set up your Vantage cameras and PoE+, as described in [Set up a simple Vicon Vantage system](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Vantage/pages/15051985) or [Add cameras and connectivity to a basic Vantage system](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Vantage/pages/15045169).

The way in which the MX T-Series system is connected to the Vantage system depends upon whether you are adding a Vicon Lock unit with your Vantage cameras:

- If you are adding only Vantage cameras, the existing TSeries system stays intact and the additional Vantage cameras and associated PoE+ switches are added in the same way as if you were adding more Giganets to the system. For more information, see [Integrate an MX T-Series system without a Vicon Lock unit](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Vantage/pages/15049216)
- If you are also adding a Lock+ unit, you must make the changes described in [Integrate an MX T-Series system with a Vicon Lock unit](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Vantage/pages/15057647).

> ⚠️ **Important**   
> ⚠️ When the integrated system requires a Lock unit, you may need to transfer any broadcast video reference signal and any associated LTC-In signal from the primary Giganet to the Lock unit.
