3.3 NETWORKING GUIDE
www.avenview.com
It is not necessary to change the IP addresses of the encoders and decoders units – factory default AutoIP is used to configure correct
IP addresses to simply work out of the box.
DHCP addresses are not recommended, while Static addresses are for supervised setups and network strict enviroments.
Failure to note the IP settings of any unit changed may result in a complicated reset procedure.
Most M-Series installations use the POE (Power Over Ethernet) function to power the encoder & decoders units.
HDM-C6MWIP & HDM-C6MWIP4K devices are Class 0 rated POE devices, they can require up to 15.4W of power each, but tested
their actual power draw is between 5-7W. In order to calculate the number of devices that is recommeneded on a network switch
please divide the total POE power capacity of the switch by 15.4.
Please see the example:
CISCO SG300-52P with a POE power output of 375W: 375 / 15.4 = 24.35.From the answer 24 devices can be powered by this switch.
In order to have all ports powered by POE on a network switch, please see this example:
SG300-52MP which provides 740W. 740 / 15.4 = 48. From the answer 48 devices can be powered by this switch.
3.3.3 Data Bandwidth
Each HDM-C6MWIP4K-S encoder will produce up to 50Mb/s of data > therefore 10 x encoders will require 10 x 50Mb/s = 0.5 Gbps.
Avenview M-Series 4K HDMI over IP units can be networked together with a recommended Layer 2 Gigabit Smart Switches. As
mentioned previously in section 3 the importance of calculation for the capacity of the switch meets the requirements of the number of
encoders/decoders you have on your network. These units can perform well over a standard network infrastructure, however the
quality of this infrastructure is critical. We have tested many brands of switches all of which perform well in small system configurations
of around 10 Encoders and Decoders. However, for larger installations, Avenview highly recommends using HUAWEI series switches.
3.3.1 Simple Setup Guide for Network switch
M-series should be connected to a Layer 2 managed switch which supports Multicast & IGMP snooping.
Do not connect any units to the switch until all the network switch configuration has been. For recommended switches and PDF
configuration guides please see the ‘downloads’ section of any M-series device at avenview.com.

4. PC CONFIGURATOR
Before using the Avenview PC Configurator, please ensure you download the most recent version from the product
HDM-C6MWIP4K-S Sender and HDM-C6MWIP4K-R Receiver website link /downloads PC control software. Refer
to the chart above for correct version numbers.
All devices must be in the same network segment. To verify and properly control the devices, please set a static IP on
your computer. See the instructions below on how to proceed:
The Sender and Receiver units are pre-configured with AutoIP. Upon connecting the units to a stand alone network
switch (without router attached), the units will be on IP address range at 169.254.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
Set your computer's IP address as 169.254.X.X and subnet mask as 255.255.0.0.
A Windows 7 PC/Laptop is used as an example to configure a static IP address.
You can connect multiple HDM-C6MWIP4K-S and the HDM-C6MWIP4K-R H.264 decoder to build a modular IP matrix.
With the PC configurator, you can configure and manage this function. For more information, see the user guide of PC
configurator on the M-Series product page available here.

Firewall
Your operating system firewall may block some features of PC Configurator and prevent it from communicating with Sender and
Receiver. A computer running Windows 7 is used as an example to configure your operating system firewall through either of the
following two approaches.
www.avenview.com
Rev. 00 - 10/2017
Method 1
You can configure the firewall in the Windows Firewall panel on your computer, for example select both Home/Work (Private) and
Public for PC Configurator & Matrix.
You can also configure the firewall in the Windows Security Alert window. When starting MaintainTool, the Windows
Security Alert may display. If so, use the administrator privileges to select a network you allow this software to
communicate on, for example select both private and public networks, and then click Allow access.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Possible Solution
PC Configurator cannot find
devices
1. Check the Windows Firewall.
Taking Windows 7 as an example: Click Start menu, go to Control Panel
> System and Security > Windows Firewall > Allowed Programs, select
Home/Work (Private) and Public for PC configurator.
2. Check the IP address and subnet mask of your computer.
The computer, Sender, Receiver and switch should be in the same
network segment. Therefore, set your computer's IP address as
169.254.X.X and subnet mask as 255.255.0.0.
For more information, see the description in the networking guide.
Display Showing No Picture
1. Check all devices are powered on.
2. Check all cables are securely seated and connected properly.
3. Check the LED STATUS indicators on the Receivers to see if Senders and
Receivers are linked correctly. Blue Steady=OK Blue Blinking=standby
To link the devices use the PC configurator on your PC/Laptop, drag the
TX to the RX and click apply.
4. Check that source device is powered on and the HDMI cable is
connected.
PC Configurator (HDMI over IP) Maintain Tool
3. Check the switch configuration, and that IGMP snooping and all the
other functions are enabled.
Check the displays are powered on and the correct input selection.
Check the HDMI cable is plugged into the correct port.

1. All HDMI over CATx transmission distances are measured using Belden CAT6A (625MHz),
4-Pair,UTP-Unshielded, Riser-CMR, Premise Horizontal Cable, 23 AWG Solid Bare Copper
Conductors, Polyolefin Insulation, Patented Double-H spline, Ripcord, PVC Jacket using
Quantum 980 signal HDMI Video Generator Module with Video Pattern Testing and shielded
ends.
2. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of category cables, also the type of HDMI
sources, and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the
form of 300m or 1000ft bulk cable) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables
(usually in the form of patch cords). Shielded STP connectors are better suit than unshielded
UTP connectors. A solid UTP CAT6A cable shows longer transmission length than solid UTP
CAT5E/6E cable.
3. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for category cables is recommended.
4. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in category cable, you
can use shielded STP cables with shielded connector to improve EMI problems, which occurs in
poor wiring environments with unplanned cable runs situated away from EMI interference.
5. Because the quality of the category cables has the major effects in how long transmission distance
will be made and how good is the received signal on the display, the actual transmission length
is subject to high quality category cables. For resolution greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a
solid CAT6E 250MHz cable is the only viable choice.
