1. INTRODUCTION
The HDBaseT™ 4 by 4 or 8 by 8 HDMI Matrix over CAT5e/6/7 supports
the transmission of video (resolutions up to 1080p Full HD and
1920x1200@60Hz), multi-channel digital audio and control via IR, RS-
232, Telnet or Web GUI from four or eight high defi nition sources to
four or eight outputs over a single CAT5e/6/7 cable (up to 100m) for
each output.It supports high resolution digital audio formats such
as LPCM 7.1CH, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master
Audio as well as 3D content that can be displayed when connecting
a 3DTV and 3D source. Power over Ethernet (PoE) support means that
compatible receivers do not need their own power supplies, allowing
for greater fl exibility in installations.

6.8 Telnet Control
Before attempting to use the telnet control, please ensure that both
the Matrix (via the 'LAN /CONTROL' port) and the PC/Laptop are
connected to the active networks.
To access the telnet control in Windows 7, click on the 'Start' menu
and type "cmd" in the Search fi eld then press enter.
Under Windows XP go to the 'Start' menu and click on "Run", type
"cmd" with then press enter.
Under Mac OS X, go to Go→Applications→Utilities→Terminal
See below for reference.
10
Once in the command line interface (CLI) type "telnet", then the IP
address of the unit and "23", then hit enter.
Note: The IP address of the Matrix can be displayed on the device's
LCM monitor by pressing the Menu button twice.
This will bring us into the device which we wish to control. Type "HELP"
to list the available commands.
Type “IPCONFIG” To show all IP confi gurations. To reset the IP,
type “RSTIP” and to use a set static IP, type ”SETIP” (For a full list of
commands, see Section 6.7).
Note: Any commands will not be executed unless followed by a
carriage return. Commands are case-insensitive. If the IP is changed
then the IP Address required for Telnet access will also change
accordingly.
