equipment. Retain all documentation for future reference.
2. Follow all instructions printed on unit chassis for proper operation.
3. To reduce the risk of re, do not spill water or other liquids into or on the unit, or operate the unit while standing in liquid.
4. Make sure power outlets conform to the power requirements listed on the back of the unit. Keep unit protected from rain,
water and excessive moisture.
5. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents or aerosol cleaners, as this may damage the unit. Dust with a clean
dry cloth.
6. Do not use the unit if the electrical power cord is frayed or broken. The power supply cords should be routed so that they
are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
7. Do not force switched or external connections in any way. They should all connect easily, without needing to be forced.
8. Always operate the unit with the AC ground wire connected to the electrical system ground. Precautions should be taken
so that the means of grounding of a piece of equipment is not defeated.
9. AC voltage must be correct and the same as that printed on the rear of the unit. Damage caused by connection to improper
AC voltage is not covered by any warranty.
10. Turn power off and disconnect unit from AC current before making connections.
11. Never hold a power switch in the “ON” position.
12. This unit should be installed in a cool dry place, away from sources of excessive heat, vibration, dust, moisture and cold.
Do not use the unit near stoves, heat registers, radiators, or other heat producing devices.
13. Do not block fan intake or exhaust ports. Do not operate equipment on a surface or in an environment which may
impede the normal ow of air around the unit, such as a bed, rug, carpet, or completely enclosed rack. If the unit is used
in an extremely dusty or smoky environment, the unit should be periodically “blown free” of foreign dust and matter.
14. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer all
servicing to qualied service personnel. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
15. When moving the unit, disconnect input ports rst, then remove the power cable; nally, disconnect the interconnecting
cables to other devices.
16. Do not drive the inputs with a signal level greater than that required to drive equipment to full output.
17. The equipment power cord should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.
18. Save the carton and packing material even if the equipment has arrived in good condition. Should you ever need to ship
the unit, use only the original factory packing.
19. Service Information Equipment should be serviced by qualied service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged.
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the equipment.
C. The equipment has been exposed to rain.
D. The equipment does not appear to operate normally, or exhibits a marked change in performance.
E. The equipment has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

Telnet Control
Before attempting to use Telnet control, please ensure that both the unit and the PC are connected
to the same active networks.
Start your preferred Telnet/Console client, or use the built in client provided by most modern computer
operating systems. After starting the client, connect by using the current IP address of the unit and
port 23 (if the communication port number used by the unit has not been changed previously). This
will connect us to the unit we wish to control and commands may now be entered directly.
NOTE 1: If the IP address of the unit is changed then the IP address required for Telnet access will
also change accordingly.
NOTE 2: The default IP address is 192.168.1.50 and the default communication port is 23.
To Access Telnet
Windows 7 Click START, type “cmd” in the search eld and press ENTER.
Windows 10 1. Open “Control Panel”.
2. Open “Programs and Features”.
3. Select the “Turn Windows features on or off ” option.
4. Check the “Telnet Client” box.
5. Click “OK“. A box will appear that says “Windows Features” and
“Searching for required les”. When complete, the Telnet client should be
installed in Windows.
In Mac OS X Click Go > Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
Once in the Command Line Interface (CLI), type “telnet” followed by the current IP address of the
unit and “23”, then hit ENTER. See below for reference.
This will connect us to the unit we wish to control. Type “help” to list the available commands.
