Not needed when the device is supplied power by a USBpower source

Step 3: Install the FC-7
You can mount this Kramer PicoTOOL™ next to a USB power source behind an
AV device, within the ceiling, on a desk top, wall or similar area. Fasten a bracket
on each side of the TOOLS using the two M3x8 screws (supplied). Use the flat-
head screws (supplied) to fix the TOOL to the mounting surface or enable it to
slide in place.
Or you can attach the rubber feet and place on a table or mount the FC-7 in a rack
(using an optional RK-3T rack mount).
Step 4: Connect the inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your FC-7. For best results, we recommend that you always
use Kramer high-performance cables to connect controlled equipment to the FC-7.
Step 5: Connect the power
Connect a USB power source and/or an optional 5V DC power supply to the FC-7 and plug it into the mains electricity.
Step 6: Configure and operate the FC-7
Note: The FC-7 is shipped from the factory with DHCP enabled and a random IP address. To connect the FC-7 on first installation,
you must identify what IP address has been automatically assigned to the FC-7. To discover the IP address of
FC-7, use K-LAN Configurator, available for download from our website at www.kramerav.com.
To reset the device to its factory default settings:
1. Turn off the power to the device.
2. Press and hold the Reset button on the front panel.
3. Turn on the power to the device while holding down
the Reset button for a few seconds.
4. Release the button.
The device is reset to the factory default settings.
To browse the FC-7 Web UI (User Interface) using
factory default settings:
Use the default host name: FC-7-xxxx, where xxxx are
the last four digits of the serial number of the device.
FC-7 Function Table
To configure and operate the FC-7:
