 Local IP Address:
This is the IP address assigned to the ExpandOR. In the factory default DHCP mode the IP address is
automatically assigned by the DHCP server.
Note: To ensure the IP addresses are not changed by the network, it is recommended that every ExpandOR
be congured with a static IP address, and following that conguration, we recommend that a label with
the assigned IP address be applied to the unit.
 Local Netmask:
Subnet mask used by the networking layer to determine what addresses are within the subnet and which
are in a separate subnet.
 Default Gateway:
Default gateway of the network which is used for routing IP packets outside of the current subnet.
 Use DHCP:
Uncheck this option to allow the network elds to be edited for a static IP address.

System Conguration: Web Interface Conguration - System Tab
System Tab, Local Display Panel:
 S-Video Format:
When the ExpandOR is transmitting a video stream to a remote destination
(another ExpandOR or a computer), local S-Video output always displays what
is being transmitted. The user can specify the S-Video format as either NTSC
or PAL.
 DVI Out Format:
When ExpandOR is receiving a video stream, its local DVI–OUT port outputs
what is being received. When the ExpandOR is in transmitting only mode, local
DVI-OUT outputs what is being transmitted. Select the local DVI-out format
from the dropdown menu to suit your display’s capabilities.
 DVI Out Display Reset:
The DVI-out Display Reset option can be used to prevent issues encountered with displays that are unable
to detect seamless mode switching.
The default DVI Output Display Reset setting (unchecked) provides the fastest DVI output switching with
the least amount of ickering. With this setting, the DVI output timings change seamlessly to
accommodate dierent video streams but may cause incorrect signal detection with some monitors.
When the DVI Output Display Reset setting is checked, the ExpandOR will stop the DVI output and start it
again every time the user stops or starts the stream on the local ExpandOR.
Click the Save button to apply the settings.
Note: Changes to the video output will not take aect while a video stream is being transmitted or
received. For any changes to take eect the video stream must be stopped and restarted.
