Installation
To install 617T and 617R:
1. Unpack the contents of the package with care.
We recommend that you save the original box and packaging materials for possible future
shipment.
2. Turn on the power to the HDMI source (for example, a laptop) and acceptor (for example, a
display).
3. Power the 617T and 617R:
• Connect the micro USB connector on each device to a USB cable (supplied).
• Connect the USB cable either to the wall-mount power adapter (supplied) and to the
mains, or to a USB port.
The POWER LED lights and the STATUS LED flashes three times.
Although 617T can be powered via pin #18 on the HDMI interface, we
recommend that you use the USB power adapter.
617R can only be powered via the USB power adapter.
4. Connect the two LC optical fibers between 617T and 617R.
Connect (A) to (A) and (B) to (B). Make sure that the duplex connectors are connected
properly.
The STATUS LED flashes.
Do not look directly into the LC connectors on the 617T (the transmitter side)
when it’s powered.
This product operates under LASER Class I, classified by CDRH/FDA for eye
safety.
We recommend that you avoid using intermediate cables or adapters. Using
them may affect the transmission quality.
5. Connect 617T to the HDMI connector on the source side and 617R on the acceptor side.
Make sure that the 617T is always connected to the source side and the
617R is connected to the acceptor side.
Once the system is connected the Status LEDs on both 617T and 617R flash.
Troubleshooting
If the display appears black:
• Check that the power source adapters are properly connected on both sides.
• Check that both HDMI connector heads are fully plugged into the devices.
• Check that the source and display devices are both switched on.
• Reset the system by disconnecting and then reconnecting the 617T or 617R, or by
disconnecting and then reconnecting the power adapters.
• Reboot the system.
If the image appears distorted and/or there is background noise:
• Go to the display properties and check the settings. Make sure that the resolution is set below
4096x2160 at a 60Hz refresh ratio to check if the graphic resolution is properly defined.
• Reset the system by disconnecting and then reconnecting the 617T or 617R, or by
disconnecting and then reconnecting the power adapters.
It is important to connect the devices correctly as marked: 617T to the source side and
617R to the acceptor side.
