5.0 Installation
1. The factory default Connection Method for RX is “First Available”, and TX is in Multicast mode
with its default Multicast IP (shown on the label). This means all TXs will send packets with their
default Multicast IP (225.0.10x.xxx), and all RXs will find the first available TX for connection.
2. Use a CAT6 UTP cable (straight, EIA 568B) to directly connect TX/RX as a pair connection, or
connect to IGMP enabled Gigabit Ethernet switch for many-TXs-to-many RXs installation.
Note: Each TX comes with individual factory default Multicast IP which is shown on the unit
label.
3. Connect TX/RX to video source/screen by HDMI cable.
4. The TX factory default setting for EDID is “Copy EDID from EDID Master”, please use either step
4.1 or 4.2 to assign a RX as the EDID Master.
You can change TX to use the EDID from the 1st connected RX, or from a specific RX by step 4.3
or 4.4.
Or you can use the TX built-in EDID as step 4.5:
4.1 Press and hold the [Mode] button of the specific RX unit and power ON until Green LED
blinking then releasing the [Mode] button, this RX will be assigned as EDID Master (RX’s
Green LED will blink, then steady ON, and Amber LED Off to indicate it is ready and waiting
for connecting with TX). Then power ON other RX units sequentially.
4.2 Refer page 7, enable “Copy EDID from this Video Output” to assign a specific RX as EDID
Master.
4.3 Refer page 5, enable “Copy EDID from 1st connecting RX” to set TX EDID from the first
connected RX.
4.4 Refer page 5, enable “Copy EDID from RX IP” to set TX EDID from a specific RX.
4.5 To use TX built-in EDID for specific Resolution, refer to page 5 “Resolution Selection”.
5. The following start-up messages will be displayed during RX powered on:
FW: 02-Jan-2019 A6.6.0.7 (Firmware date and version)
Local IP: 10.0.34.38 (RX’s IP address)
MAC: 0020FExxxxxx (RX’s MAC address)
Connection Method: First Available
Remote IP: 10.0.x.x / 225.0.x.x (Connecting target TX IP / Multicast IP)
6. If the input source is 4K, please refer to page 6 to enable TX/RX Jumbo Frame setting, and set
Ethernet Switch Jumbo Frame with minimum 8K bytes to get the best video quality.
7. Attach HDMI/DVI source to the TX’s HDMI In. Then power ON the TX unit, the Green LED will
blink then go steady ON to indicate ready and waiting for connecting with RX.
8. As long as TX/RX connection established, both TX and RX Amber LED will start to blink,
indicating waiting for video input source (Green LED is ON).
9. If you are using PC as video source, check that the correct screen EDID is shown on PC graphic
control panel.
10. Activate video with audio source, then check if all RXs are correctly displaying. In this step, both
Green and Amber LED should be ON to indicate the unit is ready and video source is also ready.

5.1 USB and KM IP Installation
11. Connects TX USB-B to PC, OS will detect a Generic USB 2.0 Virtual Hub Device.
12. The system can support both “USB-over-IP” and “KM-over-IP”.
The USB-over-IP works as a Virtual 5-port HUB when connected to TX, it is compatible with
most kinds of USB devices such as keyboard, mouse, Pen Drive, Touch Screen, etc.
The KM-over-IP means the USB port will work as an HID device only for keyboard/mouse
emulation. It is not necessary to gain USB access right for the KM-over-IP port. The TX (PC) can
