eLink 100 • Setup Guide
The Extron eLink 100 T (transmitter) and eLink 100 R (receiver) units wirelessly extend HDMI signals up to 100 feet (30 m) with
a clear line-of-sight. Up to four receivers can be linked to a single transmitter, allowing the HDMI video from one source to be
output on multiple displays simultaneously.
This guide provides instructions for setting up and operating the eLink 100 transmitter and receiver (sold separately).
ATTENTION:
• This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment
should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm (7.9 inches) between the radiator and your body.
• Cet équipement est conforme aux limites de radiation de la FCC établies pour un environnement non géré. Il doit être

Mounting
The eLink 100 extenders can be mounted to a wall or a furniture surface, if needed. See the eLink 100 User Guide (available
online at www.extron.com) for mounting instructions.

cable between this port and the HDMI
output port of the video source device.

The eLink 100 On-screen Display (OSD)
When the receiver is powered and connected to the display device, the On-screen Display (OSD) appears. The OSD offers
instructions and feedback while registering the transmitter with the receiver (see the following section).
NOTE: For instructions on other OSD menus and features, see the eLink 100 User Guide.
Registering the Transmitter with the Receiver
To establish communication between the eLink 100 transmitter and receiver, the transmitter must be registered with the receiver.
After registration is performed at the initial setup, the transmitter and receiver connect automatically when booted.
The units can be registered using the eLink 100 remote control (see the eLink 100 User Guide for instructions) or using the register
buttons on the eLink 100 units (see the instructions below).
1. Connect and apply power to the transmitter, video source device, receiver, and display device.
NOTE: The registration process can be done without a video source device connected. In this case, a message appears
on the OSD, notifying you of a missing video source.
2. Press and hold the Register button
on the receiver top panel until the
following message appears on the OSD:
Please Activate Registration on
Transmitter Unit.
3. Press and hold the Register button on the
transmitter top panel until the following
message appears on the OSD: Adding
transmitter name. Press OK to
continue or Exit to cancel
4. Press the Register button on the receiver
to conrm. The message Adding
transmitter name... and a progress
bar appear on the OSD while registration is
completing.
NOTE: It may take up to 60 seconds for registration to complete. If the process is delayed more than 60 seconds, cycle
power on both units, then restart the registration process.
When registration is complete, the message and progress bar disappear from the display. The Link LED and the Video LED
light steadily, and the video is output on the display.
NOTE: For instructions on controlling the OSD menus and features using the eLink 100 remote, see the eLink 100 User
Guide.
Registering an Additional Receiver
Up to four receivers can be linked to a single transmitter. To register an additional receiver to the transmitter:
1. Power down all receivers except the one you are registering.
2. Perform steps 2 through 4 above (Registering the Transmitter with the Receiver).
3. When registration is complete, power on the other receivers to display the video on all monitors.
