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 linked to the unit on the far side. The LED will be solid
whilst the units are connected and communicating.
• The green LED indicates that the unit is receiving power, from either the local power connection,
or via the CAT cable link from the unit that has the local power supply connected. This LED will
flash continuously under normal operation.
• 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.
Audio
The MS-210U4P allows for an independent analogue audio signal to be run from RX to TX using
the 3.5mm jack connections. These connections do not embed or de-embed audio from the HDMI
video link.

IR Control
The MS-210U4P can distribute infrared comands from either the receiver to the transmitter, to
provide source control from the display; or, from transmitter to receiver to provide display control
from a centrally located control processor.
The MS-210U4P is supplied with a single 5V IR transmitter that can be connected to either of the
3.5mm jack sockets on the transmitter or receiver to the labelled ‘IR’ port. The 5V IR Receiver is
then connected to the 3.5mm jack socket labelled ‘IR’ on the opposite end of the link.
Please use the supplied MSolutions IR equipment within this kit - alternative manufacturers IR
cabling may not have the same pin configuration which, if used, could damage the componentry
inside the MSolutions extender, or the IR cabling.
Note: the 3.5mm jack sockets are bi-directional - it is only possible to send IR control in one
direction depending on which end of the link has the IR transmitter or receiver. It is not possible to
send IR controls in two directions simultaneously.
RS-232 Control
The MS-210U4P 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. This uses the
left side of the phoenix conector.
Each HDBaseT unit is fitted with a 5-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.
The opposing connections on the right of the phoenix connector are used for firmware upgrading.
Note: the ground connector is shared.
USB
This KVM extender combines USB2.0 connectivity with video and audio to be passed between host
on the transmitter side (via micro-USB to Type A USB cable - not supplied), to peripheral devices on
the receiver side of the link.
The 4x USB type A connections on the Receiver can be used to connect USB2.0 cameras, touch
screens, smart boards, hard drives, games controllers, USB audio devices, printers, scanners, and
HID’s (mouse or keyboard) to a host device on the far side of the HDBaseT link.
A maximum combined data transfer of 200Mbps can be achoeved over the link - please note that
this may not be enough for some USB2.0 cameras to pass higher video resolutions.
