Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The HDMI/VGA/USB IP Wall Plate Transmitter allows HDMI, VGA and USB equipment to be
connected up to 330ft (100m), with video supported at up to 4K (3840x2160) resolution @ 30Hz
via one (1) Cat5e/6 unshielded twisted pair cable in a point-to-point configuration. The USB port
may be used for extending various USB devices including Smart Boards. Point-to-multipoint and
multipoint-to-multipoint configurations are also possible by connecting several Transmitters and
Receivers to the same local Ethernet network via an Ethernet Switch. The HDMI/VGA/USB IP
Wall Plate Transmitter also supports PoE (PD) if used with a PoE (PSE) Ethernet Switch.
Additional Transmitters may be purchased separately depending on the intended application and
number of units required.

For the point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint configuration the Ethernet Switch must
have Gigabit ports, Jumbo Frame capability, DHCP Server capability, PoE, and additionally
support the IGMP communication protocol for the multipoint-to-multipoint case.
Applications
Applications include commercial and residential AV systems, classroom systems, digital signage,
boardroom systems, conference rooms, and collaborative PC systems.
Installation
1. Identify the connectors on the Transmitter as indicated on the product labels, see the above product
view for further details. Note that the Ethernet network connector is on the rear.

3. To install the Transmitter:
3a. For an HDMI source, connect the Transmitter to the HDMI video source with an HDMI
compliant cable. For a VGA source, connect the Transmitter to the VGA video source
and connect the audio to the Audio-In port with compliant video and audio cables.
3b. If the application is point-to-point, then connect one (1) length of Cat 5e/6 (or higher)
grade UTP cable to the RJ45 LINK connector on the Transmitter. If transmitting over
the network, use an Ethernet Switch between Transmitter and Receiver.
4. To install a Receiver (such as the AV-IP-RX776 Receiver):
4a. Connect the Receiver to the HDMI display equipment with an HDMI compliant cable.
4b. If the application is point-to-point, then connect one (1) Cat 5e/6 cable (or higher)
coming from the Transmitter, to the RJ45 LINK connector on the Receiver. If
transmitting over the network, use an Ethernet Switch between Transmitter and
Receiver.
5. Following similar instructions to the above, connect the USB port of the Host device to the
Transmitter, the USB port of the end device to the Receiver (such as the RX776 Receiver).
6. If the configuration is a point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint:
6a. You will need to use an Ethernet Switch with Gigabit ports and DHCP Server support.
In addition Jumbo Frame support is required and IGMP Protocol support is required for
the multipoint-to-multipoint case. Verify that the Ethernet Switch is configured
correctly and that the DHCP Server is enabled, that the IGMP Protocol is enabled
for multipoint-to-multipoint applications, and that Jumbo Frame is enabled. See
the operating manual for more information about configuring the Ethernet Switch.
6b. Connect all Transmitters and Receivers to the Ethernet Switch.
6c. Use the DIP Switches to select a unique Device ID for each Transmitter present on the
network and configure each Receiver Device ID to the corresponding selected
Transmitter.
Note: This step is not necessary if the IP Device Controller (AV-IP-NC811) is used.
7. Powering the Transmitter or Receiver via an external power supply is only necessary where
PoE (PSE) is unavailable. If PoE is unavailable, connect a 5 VDC power supply to each
Receiver and to an AC power outlet. Next connect each Transmitter in the same manner. If
power is present, the green power LED on each Transmitter and Receiver will illuminate.
Note: Power ‘ON’ the HDMI/VGA/USB IP Wall Plate Transmitter and any other
Transmitters and Receivers only after all connections have been made.
8. Power ‘ON’ the HDMI, VGA and USB equipment and verify the image quality and data
transfer.
9. Press and hold the push button for 5 seconds to toggle between Normal and Auto Source
Detect mode. In Normal mode, press and release the push button on the front panel to switch
between the HDMI and VGA inputs. In Auto Source Detect mode, the HDMI/VGA/USB IP
Wall Plate Transmitter will detect and select the first input signal inserted, and will remain
selected until the connector is removed.
10. The following diagram illustrates a typical LAN configuration with other compatible West
Penn Wire AV over IP devices. The AV-IP-WP772 is compatible with the West Penn Wire
AV-IP-RX776 Receiver.
