WELCOME
This quick start guide covers some of the key points of the Agility Zero U
Transmitter. Full user details and setup instructions can be found within
the Support section at www.blackbox.com
INITIAL CONFIGURATION
Please see the next page for Connection details.
Agility units can be linked in two main ways: Direct or Networked.
DIRECT LINKING
Agility
RX
Agility
Zero U TX
Where Agility transmitters and receivers are directly linked to each
other, very little configuration action is required, provided that they both
have their factory default settings in place - just link them together. If
the standard settings have been changed in a previous installation, you
merely need to perform a manual factory reset on each unit.

NETWORKED LINKING

Zero U TX
Where Agility units are connected via networked links, you can either
configure them individually, or configure them collectively using an
iPATH Manager:
• 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 Agility browser-based
configuration utility on a computer system linked to the same
network as the Agility units. See page 6.

4
• Configuring networked Agility units collectively - The iPATH
Manager allows you to configure, control and coordinate any number
of Agility transmitters and receivers from a single application. See
blackbox.com for details.
IMPORTANT: When using an iPATH Manager 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 Manager. If necessary, perform a manual
factory reset on each Agility unit. See page 8.
Note: If you are using one or more Agility Zero U Transmitters within
an installation managed by an iPATH Manager, the iPATH Manager
must be running firmware version 4.7 or above.

BROWSER-BASED CONFIGURATION UTILITY
Use this utility when configuring the Agility Zero U Transmitter to work
with Agility receivers which are linked via a network. You will need to
use a computer connected to the same network as the Agility Zero U
Transmitter (you can also connect them directly).
TO ACCESS THE BROWSER-BASED CONFIGURATION UTILITY
Run a web browser on your computer and enter the standard IP address
of the Agility Zero U Transmitter:
169.254.1.33
Note: If the IP address of the Agility Zero U Transmitter has been
changed and is not known, providing it is appropriate to do so, perform a
manual factory reset (see page 8) to restore the default address.
The opening page of the Agility configuration utility should be displayed,
as shown on the next page.
Full user details and setup instructions can be found in the Support
section at: www.blackbox.com

TO PERFORM A MANUAL FACTORY RESET
A factory reset returns the Agility Zero U Transmitter to its default
configuration.
1 Power on the Agility Zero U Transmitter module.
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 status indicators turn blue (Note: alternating
red/green indications will occur during the fifteen second period
while the button is still pressed).
3 Release the reset switch. The indicators will remain blue for a short
while (less than ten seconds) while the Agility Zero U Transmitter
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.
