of the HD Video Wall Controller. In standby mode, power is being supplied to the HD Video
Wall Controller but the unit is not turned on. This LED will be red and remain illuminated as
long as the unit is in standby mode. If this LED does not illuminate, check the connection
between the power receptacle on the HD Video Wall Controller and the AC outlet.
Turning on the HD Video Wall Controller
Once the HD Video Wall Controller is in standby mode, press the Power button to power on
the unit. The Power button and the LED indicator will turn blue and both remain illuminated

device. In this case, an IR extender (Gefen part no. EXT-RMT-EXTIRN) can be connected
to the IR Ext port on the back of the HD Video Wall Controller. The sensor on the IR
extender behaves exactly like the sensor on the front panel of the matrix. Always point the
IR remote control unit in the direction of the IR sensor.

RS-232 and IP Conguration
IP / UDP Conguration
The HD Video Wall Controller supports IP-based control using Telnet, UDP, or the built-in
Web-based GUI. To set up IP control, the network settings for the HD Video Wall Controller
must be congured using RS-232. The default network settings for the HD Video Wall
Controller are as follows:
Description IP Address / Port Description IP Address / Port
IP Address
192.168.1.72
UDP Port
23
Subnet
255.255.255.0
Remote UDP Port
50008
Gateway
192.168.1.254
Remote UDP IP
192.168.1.255
HTTP Port
80
1. Connect an RS-232 cable from the PC to the HD Video Wall Controller. Also make
sure that an Ethernet cable is connected between the matrix and the network.
2. Launch a terminal emulation program (e.g. HyperTerminal) and use the RS-232
settings listed on the previous page.
3. Set the IP address for the matrix using the #set_ipadd command.
4. Set the subnet mask using the #set_netmask command.
5. Set the gateway (router) IP address using the #set_gateway command.
6. Set the Telnet listening port using the #set_telnet_port command.
7. Set the HTTP listening port using the #set_http_port command.
8. Set the UDP remote IP address for the HD Video Wall Controller using the
#set_udp_remote_ip command.
9. Set the UDP listening port for the HD Video Wall Controller using the
#set_udp_port command.
10. Set the UDP remote port for the matrix using the #set_udp_remote_port
command.
11. Reboot the HD Video Wall Controller to apply all changes, then type the IP address
that was specied in step 3, in a Web browser to access the Web GUI. Use the same
IP address to Telnet to the HD Video Wall Controller.
NOTE: Depending upon the network, all related IP, Telnet, and
UDP settings will need to be assigned. Consult your network
administrator to obtain the proper settings.
