1. Introduction
The CCE900-IP-T & CCE900-IP-R is a solution of Audio/Video
extension over IP Ethernet. It is useful in a wide range of digital
signage applications that require one-to-many, many-to-many
distribution, such as: informational displays, corporate signage,
boardrooms, courtrooms, medical, military, and education. The
Transmitter connects with a PC or any device with VGA/DVI/Audio
outputs. The Receiver connects with a DVI/VGA display, and RS-
232 device. All available 100M, Giga or Fiber Ethernet LAN switch
can be used to inter-connect the Transmitters and the Receivers.
Just plug the transmitters and receivers into Ethernet network then
you can enjoy the real time high quality audio and video contents.
1.1 Features
• Simply attach the VGA/DVI/audio to the CCE900-IP-T
transmitter, it starts to encode and streaming to the Ethernet.
• Simply attach the CCE900-IP-R receiver to the display, it
starts to decode from the network to the display and speaker.
• Support one-to-many with no delay in between each receiver.
Also support multiple Transmitters to multiple Receivers if the
Ethernet switch has the IGMP function.
• Support both panel button and keyboard hotkey with On
Screen Display (OSD) menu to select transmitter source.
• Support PS2/USB for remote PC keyboard/mouse control.
• Support IR for remote control set-top box, DVD, TV.

4. Advanced Setup
This section is in detail for how to assign IP address for CCE900-
IP-Tand CCE900-IP-R, and how to upgrade firmware.
4.1 Setup IP address
A HTTP server is embedded in CCE900-IP-T and CCE900-IP-R for
changing IP and firmware upgrade. However, the changing IP and
firmware upgrade is available in Setup Mode only, not in Normal
Mode.
For the CCE900-IP-R, there are 2 internal IP: the operation IP
and configuration IP. The operation IP is changeable but the
configuration IP is always fixed at 192.168.168.22.
For the CCE900-IP-T, the operation IP is same as configuration IP.
The factory default IP is shown on the label under the box. That
means, you should remember the final IP, otherwise, you will not
be able to configure the CCE900-IP-T. In case of missing the final
IP,you should use a special software tool to find IP out.
Please follow below steps to configure the IP settings:
Step 1: For CCE900-IP-R, assign your PC IP address in between
192.168.168.1 and 192.168.168.254, excluding
192.168.168.22, and the subnet mask with 255.255.255.0.
For CCE900-IP-T, the factory default IP is shown on the
label that stuck on the bottom of the CCE900-IP-T. The PC
IP address need to be on thesame network as CCE900-IP-
T. For example, if the CCE900-IP-T IP is 10.100.1.10, you
might set your PC IP address as 10.100.1.1 and the subnet
maskas255.0.0.0.
Step 2: Unplug the power plug, hold the [Reset] button of the
device.
Step 3: Keep holding the [Reset] button and plug the power on.
Step 4: Release the [Reset] button when you see the[Status] (or
[Power]) LED starts blinking red.
12

Step 5: After the [Reset] button is released, in case of CCE900-IP-
R, the [Power] LED will become orange; in case of CCE900-
IP-T, the [Status] LED will become orange blinking. This
indicates the device is entered Setup Mode and you can
start to setup and get access to the HTTP server of the
device. If you are not in this status, any setup process is in
vain.
Step 6: Use a straight Ethernet Cable to connect the PC with the
device. (The [Status] or [Power] LED is still lit in orange.)
Step 7: Ping the connected device through the sequence, Start,
Run, cmd, ping [TX IP] or ping 192.168.168.22 (for RX). If
you receive the reply, it means the device is ready for
setup mode. Use IEbrowser to open the setup page. For
CCE900-IP-R, the URL is http://192.168.168.22. For
CCE900-IP-T, the URL is http://[TX IP]. In this page, you
can setup IP address, subnet mask, gateway, device
name,networkprotocol and destination.
Device Name: the name of the device.
13

Network protocol: To be on the safe side, always use IP Layer,
and don’t use MAC Layer.
Destination: this setting is for CCE900-IP-T only. For one-to-one
application, you can use Unicasting. For one-to-many application,
you must use Multicasting.
Step 8: After click [Save] button, the settings will be saved and the
device will restart.
4.2 Firmware Upgrade
To upgrade the CCE900-IP-T and CCE900-IP-R, you should save
the new firmware into your PC first. Please disable antivirus
software and firewall until the firmware upgrade process is
accomplished.
Step 1: Save the new firmware into your PC first.
Step 2: ForCCE900-IP-R, assignyour PC IP address to
192.168.168.11and the subnet mask with 255.255.255.0.
For CCE900-IP-T, assign your PC IP address to the
samenetwork as CCE900-IP-T. For example, if the
CCE900-IP-T IP is 10.100.1.10, you might set your PC
IP address as 10.100.1.1 and the subnet mask as
255.0.0.0.
Step 3: Hold the [Reset] button of the device.
Step 4: Keep holding the [Reset] button and plug the power on.
Step 5: TheCCE900-IP-T [Status] or CCE900-IP-R [Power] LED
willblink red. Then you can release the [Reset] button.
Step 6: After the [Reset] button is released, in case of CCE900-IP-
R, the [Power] LED will become orange; incase of CCE900-IP-
T, the [Status] LED will become orange blinking. This
indicates the device is entered Setup Mode and you can
get access to the HTTP server for firmware upgrade.
Step 7: Use a straight Ethernet Cable to connect the PC with the
device. (The [Status] or [Power] LED is still lit in orange.)
14

Step 8: Ping the connected device through the sequence, Start >
Run > cmd > ping 192.168.168.22 or ping [CCE900-IP-T IP].
You will receive the reply if the connection is established.
Disable the antivirus and firewall software and use IE
browser to get access the web server.
Type http://[IP]/upg.htm to upgrade the CCE900-IP-T
firmware. Type http://192.168.168.22/upg.htm to upgrade the
CCE900-IP-R firmware.
Step 9: Navigate to the firmware file andclick [Upgrade]. Upgrade
process may take a few minutes. Pleasedo not turn off PC
or the device or unplug the Ethernet cable. It will cause
damage of the device. After firmware upgrade is
accomplished, turn off the device.
Note: You have to disable antivirus software and firewall
software before you upgrade firmware. Firmware
upgrade process cannot be interrupted so please do
not turn off your computer or the upgraded device
or disconnect the Ethernet cable until the process is
finished. Otherwise the system will crush.

5. Management Software
The system provides a Windows-based Management software for
the system administrator to manage all CCE900-IP-T and
CCE900-IP-R devices from his/her PC. You should download and
install thebelow software before installing this Management
software.
.Net Framework 2.0 or above
WinPcap 4.1.2, Downloadable at:
http://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm
To install, double click SETUP.EXE and follow the setup wizard:
After the installation is finished, click “LAN Manager 4.0” icon to
start the Management Software:
16

The Management screen is split into two frames: on the left is a
Tree view of the Transmitters (TX) and the connected Receivers
(RX); on the right is a two-tab view, one is a List view of the RX,
and the other is a Matrix view of TX and RX; the former lists all of
RX but no TX, and the latter displays a matrix table in a coordinate
style: the horizontal axis is a list of RX and the vertical axis is of TX.
17

If the intersected cell shows a light bulb, it means the RX and TX is
connected.
5.1 Change IP and change Name
Right-click the device you desire to change, and a context menu
will show up:
Select [Change IP] or [Change Name] and type the IP or name on
the pop-up window, and click [Submit]:
5.2 Reboot the device
Right-click the device you desire to reboot, select [Reboot] from
the menu.
5.3 Information
Right-click the device, select [Information], a window will pop up
with information about the device. The value in the version field
may or may not display the version; when it fails to detect the
version, it will display “N/A”.
18

5.4 Display the CCE900-IP-T video
When the CCE900-IP-T transmitter is connecting with at least one
CCE900-IP-R, it will have a [Display Screen] function enabled as
belowpicture.
Select a CCE900-IP-T transmitter and right-click the [Display
Screen] function, a window will pop up displaying that CCE900-
IP-T screen source. Depending on the performance of your PC
and networkbandwidth, you can activate multiple windows for
multiple CCE900-IP-T screen sources.
The default frame rate for the CCE900-IP-T is 30 frames per
second. You can change the frame rate by clicking [Setting] > [Tx
Frame Rate Setting] on the upper left corner of the Management
Main screen. Click it and a window will pop up, and from here you
can specify the FPS (Frames per second) for the CCE900-IP-T
transmitter (1 ~ 30).
Note: This function is effective only on TX of version b204 or
above).
