Operating Instructions
User should configure the DIP switch within 10 seconds, firmware should reset the
system 20 second after detecting the first change of DIP switch, and latch the new DIP
switch value after reset.
Point to point configuration:
1. Connect one HDMI Cable between the HDMI output port of source device and the HDMI input port of
Transmitter unit
2. Connect one HDMI Cable between the HDMI input port of display and the HDMI output port of Receiver unit.
3. Connect one UTP Cat5e or better cables between the RJ45 port of Transmitter unit and RJ45 port of
Receiver unit.
4. Connect 5V DC power supplies to both Transmitter unit and Receiver unit.
5. Power on the output device first and the source second.

Operating Instructions
Point to multicast network configuration:
1. Connect one HDMI Cable between the HDMI output port of source device and the HDMI input port of
Transmitter unit
1. . Connect one CAT5e or better cable between the RJ45 port of transmitter and input port of Gigabit Ethernet
switch hub.
3. Connect one CAT5e or better cable between the output port of each Gigabit Ethernet switch hub and RJ45
port of Receiver unit.
5. Power on the output device first and then the source device.
6. If DIP switch at the transmitter is set up: Group ID:0001, then DIP switch at each receiver should be set up
as same as the transmitter: Group ID:0001
Modify the TX and all RX for a different IP & MAC address in LAN (local area network）to avoid conflict.

Operating Instructions
Multipoint to multipoint network configuration:
1. Connect one HDMI Cable between the HDMI output port of source device and the HDMI input port of
Transmitter unit.
2. Connect one HDMI Cable between the HDMI input port of display and the HDMI output port of Receiver unit.
3. Connect one CAT5e or better cable between the RJ45 of each Transmitter unit and RJ45 port of Gigabit
Ethernet switch hub.
4. Connect one CAT5e or better cable between each RJ45 port of Gigabit Ethernet switch hub to RJ45 port of
Receiver unit. User can select source channel by setting up dip switch on each transmitter unit. And select
display devices for Receiver units via one remote control.
5. Use DIP switch to select sources .
How to use DIP switch:
1).Use 4-bit DIP switch to select 16 group ID (such as 0001, 0010, 0101 etc.)
2).Change group ID easily to select the sources.
3).For example, when the connection is :
Source( DVD1) - SX-EP22-TX (TX1) - Gigabit Switch - SX-EP22-RX(RX1)- TV1
Source (DVD2) - SX-EP22-TX (TX2) - Gigabit Switch - SX-EP22-RX(RX2)- TV2
Source (DVD3) - SX-EP22-TX (TX3) - Gigabit Switch - SX-EP22-RX(RX3)- TV3
The group ID of transmitters is :
TX1 (0001)
TX2 (0101)
TX3 (0100)
If you need display Source2 on TV1, then just set Group ID of RX1 same as TX2: 0101 (refer to Diagram).

Operating Instructions
Setup HDMI TX and HDMI RX
A HTTP server is embedded in each TX and RX. you can setup IP address for HDMI extender via web
browser.
The default IP address of the TX is 192.168.168.55, MAC address is: 00:0b:78:00:60:01.
The default IP address of the RX is 192.168.168.56, MAC address is: 00:0b:78:00:60:02.
Step 1: Assign the PC (or laptop) IP address on the computer : “Control Panel”→” Network
Connections”→“Local Area Connections Status”→“Properties”→“Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”, Type the IP
address field with 192.168.168.11 (0-255) and Subnet mask with 255.255.255.0. After that press OK to save
the configuration.
Note: 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 status LED becomes green.
Step 3: please Ping the connected device through the sequence on computer: “Start”→“Run”→input
“CMD”→input “ping 192.168.168.55” for TX or input “ping 192.168.168.56” for RX, you will receive the reply if
the connection is established.
Step 4: Login in IE :192.168.168.55 (default IP for TX) or 192.168.168.56(default IP for RX), You can setup IP
address, subnet mask, gateway, and MAC address for the TX and RX.
Please set IP address for each TX and each RX, IP:192.168.168.XX (XX:1-255. all IP address for TX and RX
must be different .
Please set MAC address for TX and RX, MAC:00:0b:78:XX:XX-XX (XX:01-FF), The MAC address for each TX
and each RX must be different .
Step 5: After click “Apply” button, the green LED light on the device will go out, you have successfully set IP
address for TX and RX now.
Note: if you need to restore the device to it’s factory default settings, please power on the device, the red light
becomes lighting, waiting about 10 seconds, the green LED light starts working, at this time to press the reset
button about 5-10 seconds, then the green light will go out, you have successfully restored IP address to
factory IP address now.
