7. Installation & Setup
7.1 Basic Instructions
1. The set of sender and receiver can form a complex AV over IP system
that supports Web-based GUI controlling and management.
2. Any Sender can be turn into master controller just by selecting the master
controller option from the web-based GUI management system.
3. Once the master controller role is assigned to sender, then the same
sender can be used to configure all the sender and receiver connected
in the network.
4. Master controller can be accessed using the default login credentials.
A step by step configuration for first time installation
(1) Choose a Sender box as “Master Controller”, you can connect sender
to your laptop through CAT5e/6 cable directly or through a managed network
switch as shown below:

Note: If you have configured the connection as described above then please
have only one Sender (Master controller) connected to the switch.
All Senders have the same default IP address: 192.168.1.28.
All Receivers have the same default IP address: 192.168.1.38.
Kindly update the IP address of sender which you have decided to make
the master controller. Once the IP address of the Master controller is changed
then you can configure all the senders and receivers connected in the network.
(2) Set your laptop IP setting to the same domain with Controller so that
you can login Controller’s Web page, for instance set laptop IP address to
192.168.1.111
(3) Login Master Controller Web page by typing in your default IP address
(192.168.1.28) in your internet browser.
Username: admin
Default don’t need password to login.

Once the Main controller (Sender) IP address is changed then you can
change the other sender and receiver IP address.
Note: During changing Senders and Receivers IP address, you can see
their MAC address on the Web page (as below picture). Receiver will display
its own IP address and firmware version information on the corresponding
display. So, you would easily identify which Receiver you’re changing.
If all the sender’s are connected at the same time, each sender’s ip address
need to change as per the Mac address labeled at the bottom of the housing.
Otherwise, connect each sender at a time and change the IP address accordingly.
