3.0 Hardware boot up
There are two on/off switches on the UE series, one for each of the power supplies. Only one
power supply needs to be connected for it to operate. One the power switch is turned on; the UE
will boot in less than 10 seconds. When the HDMI output is connected to the screen, the version
information will be on the lower third of the display for about 2 seconds showing FPGA/FW
version and IP address (default IP address is 192.168.0.100) of the unit, then followed by the
Apantac logo, then the very last screen layout prior to powering off the unit.
4.0 Software
This section will help you get the UE series setup as quickly as possible.
