Welcome
This quick start guide covers some of the key points of the Agility Zero U Transmitter. Full user details
and setup instructions can be found within the Support section at www.blackbox.com
Initial conguration
Please see the next page for Connection details.
Agility units can be linked in two main ways: Direct or Networked.
Direct linking
Where Agility transmitters and receivers are directly linked to each other, very little conguration
action is required, provided that they both have their factory default settings in place - just link them
together. If the standard settings have been changed in a previous installation, you merely need to
perform a manual factory reset on each unit. Please see the next page for further details.

Agility RX
Networked linking
Where Agility units are connected via networked links, you can either congure them individually, or
congure them collectively using an iPATH Manager:
• Conguring networked Agility units individually - You need to specify the network
addresses of the Agility units so that they can locate each other. This is done by running the Agility
browser-based conguration utility on a computer system linked to the same network as the
Agility units. Please see the next page for further details.
• Conguring networked Agility units collectively - The iPATH Manager allows you to
congure, control and coordinate any number of Agility transmitters and receivers from a single
application. See blackbox.com for details.
Note: If you are using one or more Agility Zero U
Transmitters within an installation managed by an iPATH
Manager, the iPATH Manager must be running rmware
version 4.7 or above.

IMPORTANT: When using an iPATH Manager to congure
Agility units, it is vital that all units that you wish to locate
and control are set to their factory default settings.
Otherwise they will not be located by the iPATH Manager.
If necessary, perform a manual factory reset on each
Agility unit. See next page.

Browser-based conguration utility
Use this utility when conguring the Agility Zero U Transmitter to work with
Agility receivers which are linked via a network. You will need to use a computer
connected to the same network as the Agility Zero U Transmitter (you can also
connect them directly).

To access the browser-based configuration utility
Run a web browser on your computer and enter the standard IP address of the
Agility Zero U Transmitter:

Note: If the IP address of the Agility Zero U Transmitter has been changed and is not
known, providing it is appropriate to do so, perform a manual factory reset (see
below) to restore the default address.

To perform a manual factory reset
A factory reset returns the Agility Zero U Transmitter to its default conguration.
1 Power on the Agility Zero U Transmitter module.
2 Use a narrow implement (e.g. a straightened-out paper clip) to press-and-
hold the recessed reset button on the front panel for roughly fteen seconds,
until the status indicators turn blue (Note: alternating red/green indications will
occur during the fteen second period while the button is still pressed).
3 Release the reset switch. The indicators will remain blue for a short while
(less than ten seconds) while the Agility Zero U Transmitter congures itself
and should then change to green if all connections are correct; or orange if
one or more of the video, USB and/or network links are missing.
NOTE: If you are performing a factory reset and intend to disconnect the
power immediately after the reset, you must wait at least 30 seconds after
you have released the reset button for it to complete the process.
