Quick Start Guide

This Quick Start Guide describes the Zio installation process. The following

Ambient Heat

Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35 °C (95 °F). Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Cables and Connections

● Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

● For best performance and to minimize cable clutter, use Category 2

(High-Speed) HDMI cables that are only as long as necessary to connect two devices.

Do not exceed the maximum recommended cable length of 9 feet (2.74 meters).

● For network connections:

◆ At a minimum, use high-quality, Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables. If you

plan to use Power over Ethernet (PoE+), you must use Cat 6a Screened Shielded Twisted Pair (SSTP) cable.

◆ Do not use crossover cables.

◆ Ensure that the cables are properly terminated and free of

damage.

● Ensure that the cables are securely connected.

Important

Do not stack multiple Zio devices on top of one another. Use the optional mounting cage.

Connecting Power

Zio endpoint devices can receive power from either an external, 12V/2.5A power supply, or Power over Ethernet (PoE+, if present) from a PoE+ network switch or stand-alone PoE+ injector.

● If the device does not receive PoE+: Connect the DC 12V power

input on the device to an AC power source, using the supplied AD-to-DC power adapter or PDU400-12 Power Distribution Unit; or

● If the device receives PoE+: You need not connect anything to

this port. However, if a local power source is available, you can connect the device to it to provide a backup power source should PoE+ become unavailable. This will not damage the device.

After a brief power-up sequence, the front-panel POWER LED lights solid

green to indicate that the device is receiving power. On the rear panel,

the ACT and 1G LEDs flash or light solid amber to indicate network activity and link status.

Your Zio endpoint devices are now operational.

To begin using the Zio Coordinator GUI, open a web browser window. Then, enter the following URL into the address bar:

<nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn>:8080/zio

where <nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn> is the IP address of a Zio device.

Tip

Turn on your source devices and displays before connecting the Zio endpoint devices to power.

Note

PoE+ is the default power source.

If PoE+ becomes unavailable, the Zio endpoint device will switch to local DC power and reboot. When PoE+ becomes available again, the device will switch back to PoE+ seamlessly (without a reboot).

Using the Zio Coordinator GUI

Example

If the device IP address is 192.168.1.200, enter:

192.168.1.200:8080/zio
