DIP Switches

On the bottom of the Receiver unit are a bank of DIP switches. DIP switch 1 controls EDID

management. DIP switch 2 is not used.

EDID Management

The HD KVM Extra Long Range Extender Over One CAT5 provides EDID management.

default EDID. Set DIP switch 1 to the ON (up) position to use the external (downstream)
EDID. Set DIP switch 1 to the OFF (down) position to use the internal EDID.

Description DIP Switch Setting

External (downstream) EDID mode

• DIP 1 = ON (default)

• Allows all video and audio features of the connected device
to be passed to the source device.

• This mode must be used to pass HDCP content.

Internal EDID mode

• DIP 1 = OFF

• Uses the internal EDID on the Sender unit.
