Connecting an Object Layer Node to a node system? (solved)

How exactly do I connect an Object Layer Node with the rest of a scene node system?

Specfic example:

Object "02 Outside" is an image plane in front of a window that depicts a scenery.
The image plane is also blocking daylight from entering the room.

My basic idea was to add an object layer node to the object "02 Outside" and select to hide the shadows.

Nevertheless now I cannot figure out how to connect the pins.

Are there other nodes I need to add to act as link between the Object Layer node and the geometry I want to modify?

Hi there,

Yes, you need to connect your geometry to an object layer map node first. Like this:

Thank you a lot Thomas for the quick help.

Indeed the object layer map was the missing link.

Now I was able to set it up.
