2). Connecting the HDMI cable
3). Connecting the power cord
2. Power ON
Turning on the switch, and waiting about 1 minute. IF the login light becoming green, the
equipment is starting finished
Step 3 Setting the IP address by front panel
1. Pressing the Confirm/Enter button about 3 milliseconds, the LCD display will show the
setting menu.

Catcast Technology Co., Ltd. (Chengdu)
2. Selecting the “IP Address Config” menu, and pressing the Confirm/Enter button to enter
the IP address configuration sub menu.
Selecting the “Manual Set IP address” and confirm
Pressing the Confirm/Enter button entering the edit mode, and next edit the IP address
After edit finished, pressing the Confirm/Enter button to active the change
Use the same way to edit the net mask and the gateway
