7 Installation and Configuration
Setup HDMI TX and RX
When connecting point to point, no need to configure TX and RX,
When connecting point to many, many to point and many to many, please make sure every TX and RX has
unique IP and MAC address, every TX has unique group ID.
Our this over IP Extender has been assigned unique default MAC address for every TX and RX, so you
don’t have to set the MAC for the units.
You just need to set the IP address and Group ID following bellowing steps.
Setting the IP address
A). DHCP (Dynamic host configuration protocol)
If you are using a Switch that supports DHCP, please enable DHCP so that the Switch will assign an unique
IP for TX and RX, and you don’t need to change the IP for the units manually.
B). Set the IP via web browser
If you are using a Switch that doesn’t support DHCP, please change the default IP for TX (192.168.1.11)
and RX (192.168.1.12) manually.
A HTTP server is embedded in each TX and RX. You can set up IP address for HDMI Extender via web
browser
The default IP address of the TX is 192.168.1.11, user name: admin, password: admin

Operating Instructions
www.foxunhd.com
The default IP address of the RX is 192.168.1.12
Step 1: Make sure the Transmitter and PC are in the same domain.
Access the Network Setting Control Panel in Windows and locate your
Lan connection. Under Windows 7, this can be done by clicking Start >
Control Panel >Network Sharing center>Change adapter settings >
Properties >Internet Protocol Version4 (TCP/IPv4). Change the IP address field to 192.168.1.1
(0-255). After that press "OK" to save the configuration.
※The PC and TX/RX should be in the same domain.
※The IP address of PC should be different from the IP address of TX and RX.
Step 2: Use an Ethernet Cable to connect the PC (or laptop) and the extender. the power LED for the
extender is red and the green status is blinking.
Step 3: Login in IE: 192.168.1.11 (default IP for TX) or 192.168.1.12(default IP for RX), You can setup IP
address for the TX and RX. TX requires user name: admin and password: admin
Please set IP address for each TX and each RX, IP: 192.168.1.XX (XX:1-255. all IP address for TX and RX
must be different and can’t be same as the PC’s address.)
Step 4: After selecting “Use DHCP”or reset the IP Address, click “Submit”(transmitter) or “update
DHCP”(Receiver).
Step 5: Click “Reboot”.
Step 6: Restart the extender after resting the IP Address.

F0 = 2400 (default)
F1 = 4800
F2 = 9600
F3 = 19200
F4 = 28800
F5 = 38400
F6 = 57600
F7 = 115200
3). How to choose the source:
For example, when the connection is:
Source (DVD1) - TX (TX1) - Gigabit Switch –RX (RX1) - TV1
Source (DVD2) - TX (TX2) - Gigabit Switch –RX (RX2) - TV2
Source (DVD3) - TX (TX3) - Gigabit Switch –RX (RX3) - TV3

Operating Instructions
www.foxunhd.com
The group ID of transmitters is:
TX1 (01)
TX2 (02)
TX3 (03)
If you need display Source on TV1, then just set Group ID of RX1 same as
TX1: 01(see below picture).
TX 1 RX 1
1.Set the group ID for TX and RX via web browser
Step 1: Make sure the Transmitter and PC are in the same domain. (Refer to 5.1.1)
Step 2: Use an Ethernet Cable to connect the PC (or laptop) and the Extender. the power LED for the
extender is red and the green status LED is blinking.
Step 3: Power on the TX or RX with 5V 1A power supply.
Step 4: Login in IE: 192.168.1.11 (default IP for TX) or 192.168.1.12(default IP for RX), TX requires user
name: admin and password: admin.
Step5: Change the group ID at “Stream setting”,“00”means group “00”here which can be chosen
from 00 to 63.
Step 6: Click “Submit”(transmitter) or update (receiver).
※When you change the group ID on both Web browser and Remote controller, the units will follow
the latest one.
※If you change the Group ID on web browser, it can’t be shown on the LED.
Preparing the switch
When doing point to many and many to many, it requires a switch to distribute the sources. We suggest you
