1 Introduction
FIM-2450 is the model name of middle-to-long range (20~30km) point-to-point video
transmission devices.
Each set of FIM-2450 contains the following it FIM-2450s
One transmitter unit, with a camera logo on it
One receiver unit, with a monitor logo on it
Two transmitter-antennas
Two receiver-antennas, which are longer than transmitter-antennas
One antenna-cable for each antenna
Power cables
Four ethernet cables, each cable has two headers, one is RJ45 header, one is
4P header to connect FIM-2450.
Four RS232-Serial cables, each has two headers, one is 6p header to connect
FIM-2450, one consists of 6 Dupont plugs.
One TX side HDMI cable with a MiniHDMI header and a MicroHDMI header
On RX side HDMI cable with a MiniHDMI header and an HDMI header
One TPlayer software Key, it’s an USB dongle

Each kind of cable/componet is packed in its own transparent bag labeled with model
name.
The itFIM-2450s may subject to change due to different customer specific configurations
Please refer “FIM-2450 technical specification” for specifications and parameters
2 Connectors and LEDs
Front Side of Transmitter
Front Side of Receiver
One Mini HDMI plug on this side, with different logo. If the logo is a camera, then
this unit is a transmitter. If the logo is a monitor, then this unit is a receiver

Air outlet of the internal cooling fan, you can feel strong wind near the outlet
if the unit is power on
Don’t block the air outlet when the unit is power-on, keep at least 30mm
space.
Right Side
One 4P LAN connector to connect the 4P header of the Ethernet cable. The LAN port
is for configuring FIM-2450 with TDD_COFDM software, also can be used to transmit
data (the total throughput of video/LAN/serial data should be less than the max
throughput of the wireless connection of FIM-2450)
One SMA connector, to connect an antenna
Left Side

7
One 6P Serial connector, to connect RS232-Serial cable. The voltage is +-13V.
There are two serial ports in this connector. FIM-2450 transmits serial data
transparently over the wireless connection.
Six LEDs
One SMA connector, to connect an antenna. Both left side and right side SMA
connector should connect to antenna before power on
Back Side

8
One power connector, to connector a power cable, the voltage range is 10~18V, Don’t
input power higher than 18V, otherwise the unit might be damaged.
No warranty for over voltage damage.
Bottom Side
An air intake is on this side, and the cooling-fan is right below the intake. After power on,
the fan should be spinning very fast. And air is flowing out through the air outlet on the
front side.
Don’t block the air intake when the unit is power-on, keep at least 20mm space

3 Setting up FIM-2450 units
3.1 Default Network Configurations
FIM-2450 units are working as WiFi bridges, the transmitter and receiver bridge devices
connected to thFIM-2450 and forward ethernet frames transparently.

Note: TDD_COFDM software is for configuring FIM-2450, refer “TDD_COFDM software manual”
for details
3.2 Setting up steps
Connect two antennas to transmitter unit by antenna-cables
connect two antennas to receiver unit by antenna-cables
Connect power source to both units by power cables
Connect an HDMI camera/camcorder to the transmitter
Connect an HDMI monitor to the receiver
Power on both units and camera/camcorder/monitor connecting to thFIM-2450
Booting of both units takes 30~40 seconds, during booting, 6 LEDs will be flashing
many times
After approximately 30 seconds, both units will begin to search each other, LED
2,3,4 will be flashing on/off during searching by 2342….. order

After both units found other side and established wireless connection successfully,
LED 2,3,4 will stop flashing by order, and will be showing the wireless signal strength
according by following table

If the signal strength index is above 1, the video should be transmitting. You can
watch the video from the camera/camcorder on the monitor
And the serial port data should be transmitting transparently too if there are serial
devices connecting to both units and are communicating to each other

4.3 Notice
Before powering on units, make sure both SMA has connected to antennas.
Powering on a unit without antenna as load, the PAs inside it may subject to
damage
Two antennas of one unit should keep certain distance. We recommend 1 meter or
larger for transmitter side, 2 meters or larger for receiver side. If two antennas don’t
keep proper distance, the wireless signal may become weaker, max range may
become shorter
Don’t input power that voltage is higher than 18V
Don’t block the air intake and outlet when the unit is power-on
Don’t dismantle or modify FIM-2450 units
