Web GUI Control
The EL-4PKM-V88-A268-18G features an in-built Web GUI which can be used for control and configuration of the Matrix. By default the matrix is
set to DHCP, however if a DHCP server (eg: network router) is not installed the matrix IP address will revert to below details:
Default Username is: ELAN Default Password is: 3526 Default IP Address is: 192.168.0.200
For further information please see the EL-4KPM-V88-A268-18G User Manual - available to download from the ELAN®website.
RS-232 Configuration
The RS-232 port is used for configuration and control of the product, as well as pass-through of RS-232 commands to a compatible ELAN
HDBaseT receiver / matrix device.
The default RS-232 communication settings are:
Baud Rate: 57600 Stop Bit: 1
Data Bit: 8 Parity Bit: none
For a complete RS-232 command list please see the EL-4KPM-V88-A268-18G User Manual - available to download from the ELAN website.
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This data is used by the source to find
out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display then from this information the source will discover what the best audio and video
resolutions that need to be output.
While the objective of EDID is to make connecting a digital display to a source a simple plug and play procedure, issues do arise when multiple
displays or video Matrix switching is introduced because of the increased number of variables.
By pre-determining the video resolution and audio format of the source and display device you can reduce the time need for EDID hand shaking
thus making switching quicker, and more reliable.
Configuration of Matrix EDID settings can be acheived in one of three ways:
1Using Matrix web browser interface
2Using Matrix Front Panel (see below)
3Using Matrix EDID dipswitches (see product User Manual)
To change the input signal type using the Matrix front panel press the following:
Using Matrix Front Panel Buttons:
a. Press the MENU button
b. Scroll down to ‘EDID Management’. Press the SELECT button to enter
into EDID configuration mode
c. Scroll through EDID management options and select ‘Built-In EDID’ or
‘Copy Output xx’
Built-IN EDID Selection:
d. Select the input you wish to fix the EDID on (1-8) or select ‘All’. Use UP/DOWN buttons to toggle the selection and press
the SELECT button to move to EDID selection
d. Select video resolution + audio format required (4K, 1080p, 3D, 2ch, 5.1 etc). Use UP/DOWN buttons to toggle the selection and press
the SELECT button to apply. The SELECT button LED will flash orange when complete
Copy Output EDID:
e. Select the HDBaseT output you wish to copy the EDID from. Use UP/DOWN buttons to toggle the selection and press the SELECT button
to move to the input selection that you wish to copy the EDID to
f. Select the HDMI input (1-8) or select ‘All’ to copy to all HDMI inputs. Press the SELECT button to apply
