CHAPTER 2: WELCOME
Thank you for choosing the Black Box Agility family of high capacity digital extenders/switches. By encoding high quality video,
audio and Hi-Speed USB data into Internet Protocol (IP) messages, Agility units offer flexible ways to link peripherals and
systems via standard networks.
This guide covers the Agility Zero U unit, a highly compact dongle which can be attached to its host computer and transfer high
quality video (single link DisplayPort™or HDMI™according to the chosen model) and Hi-Speed USB signals across your network.
One-to-one conguration
The simplest conguration links one RX unit to a single TX unit, either by a direct link or over
much greater distances via a high speed network.
One-to-many conguration
Using multicast techniques, an unlimited
number of receivers* can receive video and
audio data streams from a single TX unit.
* A maximum of thirteen concurrent USB inputs
(via multiple RX units) are permitted to a single TX
unit.
AGILITY UNITS AND THE BLACK BOX IPATH AGILITY CONTROLLER
Where multiple Agility units are used on a network, we have developed the Black Box iPATH Agility Controller to allow
comprehensive and secure central control of all Agility units and users.
When using an Black Box iPATH Controller to configure Agility units, it is vital that all Agility units that you wish to locate and
control are set to their factory default settings. Otherwise they will not be located by the Black Box iPATH Controller. If necessary,
perform a factory reset on each Agility unit.
Note: If you are using one or more Agility Zero U Transmitter units within an installation managed by an Black Box iPATH
Controller, the Black Box iPATH Controller must be running firmware version 4.7 or above.

VIDEO LINK
Each Agility Zero U unit is supplied with either a DisplayPort™or HDMI connector (model dependant). Video signals at pixel clocks
up to 300MHz (equivalent to a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600 at 60Hz) are permissible. Two channel digital audio is also
supported via the video connector.

Host computer
DisplayPort
connector
SUPPORT FOR AUDIO
The Agility Zero U can derive its (digital) audio feed either from the USB connection or from the video link (i.e. embedded audio
within the DisplayPort/HDMI signal). In both cases, the digital audio is converted to analog as it is transferred to the receiver(s),
where it is output via their 3.5mm jack(s). The two audio sources are controlled from the System Configuration page of the
internal utility (see page 20) as follows:
• When the Enable Audio-1 option is checked, the Agility Zero U arranges a bi-directional audio stream with the host computer
via the USB connection.
• When the Enable Audio-2 option is checked, the EDID definition of the DisplayPort or HDMI connection will be altered to permit
a uni-directional audio stream via the video output. This allows the use of embedded audio, even when the video display itself
does not support audio.
Note: It is possible for both options to be enabled at the same time without issue.

NETWORK LINK
Agility transmitters and receivers can either be connected directly to each other or via a high speed network.
A single Gigabit Ethernet port is located on the front panel. For direct links via Ethernet cable, the length of cable should not
exceed 100 metres (328 feet). Network cables used for connections may be category 5, 5e, 6 or 7 twisted-pair cable. The Agility
Zero U unit has an auto-sensing capability on its network interfaces, so for direct point-to-point connections, no ‘crossover’
Ethernet cable is required.
TO LINK THE AGILITY ZERO U UNIT
1 Connect a CAT 5, 5e, 6, or 7 cable to the Gigabit Ethernet socket on the front panel of the Agility Zero U unit.
2 Connect the other end of the cable either directly to an Agility receiver or to a Gigabit Ethernet switch, as appropriate.
3 [For connections via a network] repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other Agility unit(s).
CAT 5, 5e, 6, or 7 link either
directly from the other Agil-
ity unit or from a Gigabit
Ethernet switch

USB AND POWER CONNECTIONS
The Agility Zero U unit is designed to be as flexible as possible. It can either operate using an optional external power adapter
(see page 3) or derive all of its power from its two USB plugs. The main advantage offered by using an external power adapter
is that it allows the Agility Zero U unit to be active before the host computer; thus allowing a remote user to access the host’s
initial boot up and access the BIOS menu, when required.
If powered by USB only, then both the black and red USB plugs need to be connected.
If powered by external power adapter, only the black Hi-Speed USB plug needs to be connected, for signal purposes. Whenever,
the external power adapter is attached and operating, then power will be taken from it rather than the USB plugs. There is no
problem if the red USB plug remains connected while the power adapter is used.
This is summarized as follows:
Power Black Red
adapter USB USB Power sourcing behavior
ûüüPower taken from both USB plugs.
üüûPower taken from power adapter only.
üüüPower taken from power adapter only, unless it becomes unavailable, in which case power will
be taken from both USB plugs after a short interruption.
Note: The USB plugs do not operate as a seamless failover for the external power adapter; there will be a short interruption as
operation switches from one power source to the other.
SUPPORT FOR AUDIO
The Agility Zero U can derive its (digital) audio feed
either from the USB connection or from the video

the EDID definition of the DisplayPort or HDMI
connection will be altered to permit a uni-
directional audio stream via the video output.
This allows the use of embedded audio, even
when the video display itself does not support
audio.
Note: It is possible for both options to be enabled
at the same time without issue.

INITIAL CONFIGURATION
Agility units are designed to be as flexible as possible and this principle extends also to their configuration.
DIRECT LINKING
Where Agility transmitters and receivers are directly linked to each other, very little configuration action is required, provided that
they have their factory default settings in place. If the standard settings have been changed in a previous installation, you merely
need to perform a factory reset on each unit.
NETWORKED LINKING
Where Agility units are connected via networked links, you can either configure them individually, or configure them collectively
using an IPATH Agility Controller:
• Configuring networked Agility units individually - You need to specify the network addresses of the Agility units so that they
can locate each other. This is done by running the Browser-based configuration utility on a computer system linked to the
same network as the Agility units.
• Configuring Agility units collectively - The iPATH Agility Controller allows you to configure, control and coordinate any number
of Agility transmitters and receivers from a single application.
• IfyouareusingoneormoreAgilityZeroUtransmitterswithinaninstallationmanagedbyanIPATHAgilityController,the
IPATHAgilityControllermustberunningfirmwareversion4.12orabove.
IMPORTANT: When using IPATH to configure Agility units, it is vital that all units that you wish to locate and control are set to
their factory default settings. Otherwise they will not be located by the IPATH Agility Controller. If necessary, perform a factory
reset on each Agility unit.
MANUAL FACTORY RESET
A factory reset returns Agility Zero U unit to its default configuration. You can perform factory resets using the Browser-based
configuration utility or by using this direct manual method.
TO PERFORM A MANUAL FACTORY RESET
1 Power on the Agility Zero U unit.
2 Use a narrow implement (e.g. a straightened-out paper clip) to press-and-hold the recessed reset button on the front panel
for roughly fifteen seconds, until the indicators turn blue (Note: alternating red/green indications will occur during the fifteen
second period while the button is still pressed).
CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURATION
3 Release the reset switch.
The indicators will remain blue for a short while (less than ten seconds) while Agility Zero U unit configures itself and should
then change to green if all connections are correct; or orange if one or more of the video, USB and/or network links are missing.
NOTE: If you are performing a factory reset and intend to disconnect the power immediately after the reset, you must wait at least 30 seconds after
you have released the reset button for it to complete the process.
Use a straightened-out paper
clip to press the reset button
for roughly 5 seconds

RESTORING A BACKUP FIRMWARE IMAGE
The Agility Zero U unit retains a backup image of the previous firmware version in order to provide a fallback in case of any issues
with the primary image. The backup image has no video or USB functionality; once invoked, you will need to load an upgrade file
using the web interface or via an iPATH Agility Controller to load a new primary image - see Performing an upgrade (shown right).
TO RESTORE THE BACKUP FIRMWARE IMAGE
1 Power on the Agility Zero U unit.
2 Use a narrow implement (e.g. a straightened-out paper clip) to press-and-hold the recessed reset button for roughly ten
seconds until the indicators flash green/red.
3 Release the reset switch.
The Agility Zero U unit will switch to the backup firmware image. Once complete, Agility Zero U unit will then continually flash

PERFORMING AN UPGRADE
Agility Zero U units are flash upgradeable using the method outlined here. However, for larger installations we recommend that
you use the iPATH Agility Controller to upgrade multiple Agility units. When using the method below, the Agility Zero U unit will be
upgraded in sequence.
IMPORTANT: Upgrades should be performed equally on transmitters and receivers at the same time. Mixed firmware operation
may cause issues.
WARNING: During the upgrade process, ensure that power is not interrupted as this may leave Agility Zero U unit in an inoperable
state.
If the upgrade process is interrupted and fails, it may be necessary to switch to the backup firmware image in order to regain
operation. See previous page for details.
TO FIND THE LATEST UPGRADE FILES
Firmware files for the Agility Zero U units are available from the Black Box Support department.
Note: It is possible to downgrade the firmware. After installing the older firmware, perform a factory reset on each Agility unit in
order to clear the configuration file.
TO UPGRADE A SINGLE AGILITY ZERO U UNIT VIA THE NETWORK LINK
1 Download the latest upgrade file from Black Box.
2 Temporarily connect the Agility Zero U unit and a computer via a network (see Browser-based configuration utility section for
details).
3 Run a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the Agility Zero U unit to be upgraded.
4 Click the Firmware Upgrade link. Within the Firmware Upgrade page, click the Choose File button. In the subsequent file dialog,
locate the downloaded upgrade file - check that the file is correct for Agility Zero U unit being upgraded. The file contains a
single image.
5 Click the Upgrade Now button. A progress bar will be displayed (however, if your screen is connected to Agility Zero U unit
being upgraded then video may be interrupted) and the status indicators on Agility Zero U unit will flash while the upgrade is in
progress.
6 The indicators should stop flashing after roughly two minutes, after which Agility Zero U unit will automatically reboot itself.
The upgrade process is complete.
