STEP 3 - Connect Power

CONNECT POWER TO TRANSMITTER

1. Locate the power supply ad apter and the AC

line cord.

2. Plug the DC connector of the power supply
into the m atching socket on the rear of the
transmitter.

3. Attach the AC lin e cord to the power sup ply
ada pter.

CON NEC T POWER TO RE CEI VER

1. Locate the power supply ad apter and the AC

line cord.

2. Plug the DC connector of the power supply
into the m atching socket on the rear of the
rec eiver.

3. Attach the AC lin e cord to the power sup ply
ada pter.

STEP 4 - Connect the Peripherals

CONNECT THE TRANSMITTER

1. Attach t he Emerald Transmitter to the target
PC/workstati on using DisplayPort and USB
Type B cables.

2. Connect the SFP+ transceiver appropriate
for the cable type and distance you are running
over the f iber to the SFP+1.

3. Conn ect from this transceiver to your
10G network switch or directly to a receiver.
Emerald does su pport dire ct attach SFP +,
typically this will be the most cos t efficient
option for a relatively short distance (less than

22.9 feet [7 meters]).

NOTE: SFP+1 must be used as the primary
network connection on the Emerald 4K
Transmitters.

CONNECT THE RECEIVER

1. Attach t he monitor, keyboard, mouse, USB
and audio devices to the Eme rald Receiver.

2. Connect the SFP+ transceiver appropriate
for the fiber cab le type and distance you ar e
runni ng over fiber to SFP +1.

3. Conn ect from this transceiver to your 10G
network switc h or directly to the receive r.

NOTE: SFP+1 must be used as the primary
network connection on the Emerald 4K
Receivers.

STEP 5 - Starting Up and Default Settings for IP

STA RT IN G UP

1. Once everyth ing is con nected, press the
Power bu tton on the front of the Emerald
Rec eiver.

2. The On-Screen Display (OSD) will appear on
the screen.

3. Enter the default administrator user name
and password.

4. The default ne twork setting for the Eme rald
Receiver uses a preconf igured static IP
address.

DE FAULT SE TTI NG S

Default Settings:

Transmitter IP Address: 192.168.1.22

Recei ver IP Add ress: 192.168.1.21

Typ e: St atic

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway : 0.0.0.0

Admin username: admin

Admin password: no passwo rd, it is blank by
default

Port s Used: 33 89

IMPORTANT: Do not lo se the admin password

once configured; there is no way to reset or
retrieve it. The Emeral d receiver has the option
to create a second administrator account as a
backup.

STEP 6 - Point-to-Point Installation for IP

POINT-TO-POINT INSTALLATION

In a point-to- point configuration, no
administrator setup of the Emerald
Transmit ter or the Emerald receiver is
required. This enable s you to install the
system quickly, directly out of the box. In the
point-to- point configuration , you can install
only on e transmitter and recei ver pair on a
subne t and both must be on the same subnet
unless a router is present in the net work
to span su bnets. To span across d iffere nt
subne ts, you will nee d to have admin rights to
both routers on e ither side of the installation
and setup port forwarding for Po rt 9020, 9030
and 338 9 for KVM; Por t 3389 for RDP for
Remote Desk top.

STEP 7 - Matrix Installation and Getting Started for IP

MATRIX INSTALLATION

In an IP installation, every Emerald transmitter
and rec eiver re quires its own IP address.
The network se tting is set to static, so the
addresses will need to be co nfigured manually:

1. Always co nfigure the transmitter first by
connecting the transmitter to the receiver, then
connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the
recei ver unit (receiver is on at this time).

2. Once the transmitte r is configured , you can
now configure the recei ver.

3. A transmitte r out of the b ox must be
configured on the same subnet.

GETTING STARTED

Once th e IP addre sses have been conf igured,
each receiver will need to be configured for
users , user passwords, user access rights
and default video resolutions. You c an access
these settings from the receiver’s OSD (re boot
the receiver and login as admin) and be gin
configuring these parameters.

NOTE: Each rec eiver can support a maximum
of 32 users and a maximum of 32 ta rgets
(virtualized or transmitter).
