STEP 3 - Connect Power
CONNECT POWER TO TRANSMITTER
1. Locate the power supply adapter and the AC
line cord.
2. Plug the DC connector of the power supply
into the matching socket on the rear of the
transmitter.
3. Attach the AC line cord to the power supply
adapter.
CONNECT POWER TO RECEIVER
1. Locate the power supply adapter and the AC
line cord.
2. Plug the DC connector of the power supply
into the matching socket on the rear of the
receiver.
3. Attach the AC line cord to the power supply
adapter.

STEP 4 - Connect the Peripherals
CONNECT THE TRANSMITTER
1. Attach the Emerald Transmitter to the target
PC/workstation using DisplayPort and USB
Type B cables.
2. Connect the SFP+ transceiver appropriate
for the cable type and distance you are running
over the fiber to the SFP+1.
3. Connect from this transceiver to your
10G network switch or directly to a receiver.
Emerald does support direct attach SFP+,
typically this will be the most cost efficient
option for a relatively short distance (less than
22.9 feet [7 meters]).
NOTE: SFP+1 must be used as the primary
network connection on the Emerald 4K
Transmitters.
CONNECT THE RECEIVER
1. Attach the monitor, keyboard, mouse, USB
and audio devices to the Emerald Receiver.
2. Connect the SFP+ transceiver appropriate
for the fiber cable type and distance you are
running over fiber to SFP+1.
3. Connect from this transceiver to your 10G
network switch or directly to the receiver.
NOTE: SFP+1 must be used as the primary
network connection on the Emerald 4K
Receivers.

STEP 5 - Starting Up and Default Settings for IP
STARTING UP
1. Once everything is connected, press the
Power button on the front of the Emerald
Receiver.
2. The On-Screen Display (OSD) will appear on
the screen.
3. Enter the default administrator user name
and password.
4. The default network setting for the Emerald
Receiver uses a preconfigured static IP
address.
DE FAULT SETTINGS
Default Settings:
Transmitter IP Address: 192.168.1.22
Receiver IP Address: 192.168.1.21
Type: Static
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0
Admin username: admin
Admin password: no password, it is blank by
default
Ports Used: 3389
IMPORTANT: Do not lose the admin password
once configured; there is no way to reset or
retrieve it. The Emerald receiver has the option
to create a second administrator account as a
backup.

STEP 6 - Point-to-Point Installation for IP
POINT-TO-POINT INSTALLATION
In a point-to-point configuration, no
administrator setup of the Emerald
Transmitter or the Emerald receiver is
required. This enables you to install the
system quickly, directly out of the box. In the
point-to-point configuration, you can install
only one transmitter and receiver pair on a
subnet and both must be on the same subnet
unless a router is present in the network
to span subnets. To span across different
subnets, you will need to have admin rights to
both routers on either side of the installation
and setup port forwarding for Port 9020, 9030
and 3389 for KVM; Port 3389 for RDP for
Remote Desktop.

STEP 7 - Matrix Installation and Getting Started for IP
MATRIX INSTALLATION
In an IP installation, every Emerald transmitter
and receiver requires its own IP address.
The network setting is set to static, so the
addresses will need to be configured manually:
1. Always configure the transmitter first by
connecting the transmitter to the receiver, then
connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the
receiver unit (receiver is on at this time).
2. Once the transmitter is configured, you can
now configure the receiver.
3. A transmitter out of the box must be
configured on the same subnet.
GETTING STARTED
Once the IP addresses have been configured,
each receiver will need to be configured for
users, user passwords, user access rights
and default video resolutions. You can access
these settings from the receiver’s OSD (reboot
the receiver and login as admin) and begin
configuring these parameters.
NOTE: Each receiver can support a maximum
of 32 users and a maximum of 32 targets
(virtualized or transmitter).
