Operating Notes

The Sender and Receiver for the HD over IP w/ RS-232 and 2-way IR are sold separately. This User Manual describes how to connect and operate both Sender
and Receiver units.
This product requires a Gigabit switch that supports 8k jumbo frames in order for multicast mode to function correctly. If the LAN is not exclusively dedicated to this product, then a managed switch is highly recommended.
CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables should not exceed 330 feet (100 meters) between the
Sender / Receiver unit and the network.
By default, all Sender and Receiver units are set to channel 0.

Installation

The HD over IP w/ RS-232 and 2-way IR Sender and Receiver units can either be connected over a Local Area Network (LAN) or they can be directly connected to one
another.
Getting Started

Using a Direct Connection

By default, Sender and Receiver units are shipped in Auto IP mode. In Auto IP mode, each Sender and Receiver unit assigns itself a unique IP address within the range of
169.254.x.x. Auto IP mode is used only when Sender and Receiver units are directly
connected to one another. When connecting to a network, the Sender and Receiver units
must be set to either DHCP or Static IP mode. See Setting the IP Mode (page 22) for more information .
1. Connect a CAT-5e (or better) cable from the LAN port on the Sender unit to the LAN port on the Receiver unit. The cable should not exceed 330 feet (100 meters) in length.

Installation

Local Area Network (LAN) Connection

Getting Started
In order to connect the HD over IP w/ RS-232 and 2-way IR to a Local Area Network (LAN), both the Sender and Receiver unit must rst be set to DHCP or static IP mode. DHCP mode will use the DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address for each Sender and
Receiver unit that is connected to the network. Static IP mode will allow the IP address
for each Sender and Receiver unit to be congured manually. Contact your network
administrator if necessary.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port on both the Sender and Receiver unit
directly to the router. Each cable that is connected to the router should not exceed 330 feet (100 meters) in length.
2. Access the Web interface for the Sender unit by entering its IP address in the address bar of the Web browser. If the IP address is not known, see Displaying the IP Address
(page 7).
