4.1 Usage Precaution
Make sure all components and accessories are included before installation.
The system should be installed in a clean environment with proper temperature and
humidity.
All of the power switches, plugs, sockets, and power cords should be insulated and
safe.
All devices should be connected before being powered on.
4.2 Connection Type
There are five types of possible applications:
Extender (Point-to-Point)
In a point-to-point configuration, there is no need for a switch. Distribute full,
uncompressed data up to 1080p@60Hz resolution and RS232, IR control signals over
a single fiber cable.
Splitter (One-to-Many)
With only one encoder and one 1G Ethernet switch, any A/V signal can be flawlessly
and instantly distributed to a near limitless number of decoder and screens, any
number of times.
Matrix Switcher (Many-to-One, Many-to-Many)
The combination of switching and splitting enables a completely scalable matrix
system. Independently route video, audio and RS232, IR control signal from any source
to any endpoint. The IP streaming system allows for on-the-fly upgrading and a virtually
unlimited number of I/O ports.

Press the "Save" button to save the new host name. The host name is persistent and
kept until the device is forced back to factory defaults.
The IP address can be set to be either "DHCP" or "Manual".
Select "DHCP" to receive the IP address from a DHCP server or to be auto-
assigned with an IP from the 169.254.X.X range, in case there is no DHCP server
on the network.
Select "Manual" to set a static IP address (IPV4 address, subnet mask and gateway
address).
Press "Save" to save the new IP address. The new IP mode settings are stored in nonvolatile memory and kept, until the device is forced back to factory defaults.
Note: Special attention is required, when assigning a manual IP address. The address
has to be both unique and reachable. Any mistake when entering the IP address,
subnet mask or gateway address can render the device unreachable.

network. Please make sure, each device has a different IP address in the same
LAN.
