Notices
• This MSolutions product contains electrical components that may be damaged by electrical spikes, surges, electric
shock, lightning strikes, etc. Use of surge protection is highly recommended in order to protect and extend the life
of your equipment.
• The transmission distances of HDMI over Cat cables are measured using TE CONNECTIVITY 1427071-6 EIA/
TIA-568-B termination (T568B) of cables is recommended for optimal performance. To minimise interference
of unshielded twisted pairs in the Cat5e/6 cable, do not run the HDBaseT / Cat5e/6/6a cabling with or in close
parallel proximity to mains power cables.
• Do not substitute or use any other power supply other than the enclosed unit, or an MSolutions approved
replacement. Do not disassemble either the Transmitter or Receiver units for any reason. Doing so will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.

Understanding the LED’s
This MSolutions extender set includes status LED indicators on both the Transmitter and Receiver
products to show active connections and to further help integrators diagnose potential problems
with the associated cabling.
The RJ45 HDBaseT connections on both the transmitter and receiver units have orange and green
LED’s.
• The orange LED indicates that the unit is receiving power. The LED will blink continuously.
• The green LED indicates that the unit is communicating with the unit attached to the far side of
the link over the Cat cable. The LED will be solid whilst the units are able to host a HDBaseT link
across the infrastructure.
• Internal LED’s that may be seen through venting of the product are not indicative of a working /
non-working unit.
Cabling for HDBaseT
It is important that the interconnecting Cat cable between the MSolutions HDBaseT products is
terminated using the correct RJ45 pin configuration. The link Cat cable must be a ‘straight’ (pin-to-
pin) Cat cable and it is advised that this is wired to the T568B wiring standard as this format is less
prone to EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference).
When installing Cat cables it is advised that the best possible Cat cable quality possible is used.
HDMI distribution products will only work if used with Cat5e standard cable or above. MSolutions
recommends using a Cat6 (or higher) cable for installations, especially when running over longer
distances, in areas of high EMI, or with 4K signal distribution.
The HDMI cable infrastructure should be compliant to High-Speed standards, especially where
4K is being distributed. It is important to understand that where excessive HDMI cable lengths are
used, this brings increased reduction in signal integrity over distance compared to HDBaseT. It is
therefore recommended to use short HDMI cables to ensure the integrity of the signal over the link.
For HDBaseT and HDMI testing capabilities, please refer to the MSolutions MS-TestPro to prove
both Cat and HDMI cables can be used for video signal distribution.

RS-232 Control
The MS-310U1R can distribute bi-directional serial commands between the transmitter and receiver
to allow for control commands to be sent alongside the video and audio distribution.
Each HDBaseT unit is fitted with a 3-pin phoenix connector block that will need the serial TX, RX
and Ground pins terminating into for serial pass-through. HDBaseT has the ability to transparently
send any type of serial data as both pieces of equipment are able to communicate using the same
baud rate, stop-gap, and parity.
USB
This KVM extender combines USB2.0 connectivity with video and audio to be passed between
host on the transmitter side (Type A to Type A USB cable - supplied), to a peripheral device on the
receiver side of the link only (no host at the RX).
The USB type A connections on the Receiver can be used to connect a USB2.0 camera, touch
screen, smart board, hard drive, games controller, USB audio device, printer, scanner, or HID
(mouse or keyboard) to a host device at the HDBaseT transmitter.
A maximum data transfer of 200Mbps can be achieved over the link - please note that this may not
be enough for some USB2.0 cameras to pass higher video resolutions.
Please use the supplied USB & HDMI cables to fit into the TX & RX connections neatly. Using
alternative cables may damage the connections due to the close proximity of the sockets.
