Installation and Configuration
HDMI TX and RX Setup
In a point-to-point setup, there is no need to configure TX and RX.
For point-to-many, many-to-point and many to many setups, make sure:
•every TX and RX has a unique IP and MAC address;
•every TX has a unique group ID.
This HDMI over IP Extender assigns a unique default MAC address for every TX and RX, so you don’t have
to set MAC addresses for the units. You just need to set the IP address and Group ID using the steps that
follow:
Setting the IP address
A). DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
If you are using a Switch that supports DHCP, make sure that the function is enabled so that the switch will
assign a unique IP for each transmitter and receiver, and you won’t need to manually change the IPs for
the units.
B). Set the IP via Web Browser
If you are using a Switch that does not support DHCP, manually change the default IPs for TX
(192.168.1.11) and RX (192.168.1.12).
An 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
ousername: admin
opassword: admin
•The default IP address of the RX is 192.168.1.12

9
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. In Windows 7, this
can be done by clicking Start > Control Panel > Network Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings >
Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). Change the IP address field to 192.168.1.1 (0 –255).
Then 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)
Set IP addresses for each TX and RX. TX requires username: admin and password: admin
Set IP addresses for each TX and each RX, IP: 192.168.1.XX (XX = 1 –255; all IP addresses for TXs and RXs
must be different and cannot be the same as the PC’s address.)
Step 4: Select Use DHCP or reset the IP Address. Then click Submit (transmitter) or Update DHCP
(receiver).
Step 5: Click Reboot.
Step 6: Restart the extender after resting the IP Address.

Choose the Group ID and Baud Rate by Remote controller
(When the LED shows 00, it’s ready to work)
①Press the button; switch to choose the Group ID or
Baud rate.
②Factory reset. Press the button for 3 seconds; the LED
will flicker then turn to 00. You have successfully finished the
factory reset.
Choose Group ID 00 –63
1). Press +or –to change to the previous or next Group ID.
2). Press the number to change Group ID. For example, if you need change to 01, press 0, then press 1.
Choose the Baud Rate
Press the button, switch to Baud Rate mode; press +or –to change the Baud Rate.
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
The group ID of transmitters is:
TX1 (01)
TX2 (02)
TX3 (03)
If you need to display a source on TV1, set the Group ID of RX1 to be the same as TX1: 01(see below
picture).
TX 1 RX 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
username: admin and password: admin.

11
Step5: Change the group ID at Stream Setting (see below) “00” means group 00 here (number chosen
from 00 to 63.
Step 6: Click Submit (transmitter) or Update (receiver).
※When you change the group ID on both the Web browser and remote controller, the units
will follow the latest one.
※If you change the Group ID on the web browser, it can’t be shown on the LED.
Preparing the Switch
Point-to-many and Many-to-many configurations require a switch to distribute the sources. We suggest
you use a switch that supports the IGMP and DHCP functions and that you enable them. IGMP helps to
manage the group ID, which is related to switch sources; DHCP allows the switch to assign an IP for TX and
RX automatically.

※Do not insert or pull out HDMI cable when power is on. Only connect cable when power is
off.

RS232 and Baud Rate
The unit provides a path to pass the RS-232 signal through, from TX to RX or from RX to TX. This function
lets you to connect to your RS-232 devices, such as PC, IP Camera, control panel, smart matrix, printer,
scanner and more. It works when the baud rates of the TX, RX and RS-232 devices are the same. The
default baud rate of TX and RX is 2400, which is frequently used for most devices.
Baud Rate Setting
Setting the Baud Rate via Web Browser
Log in to the TX and RX with their default IP addresses (TX: 192.168.1.11; RX: 192.168.1.12) to modify the
Baud Rate, which ranges from 2400 (default) to 115200.
