Overview
The VIP200 II series allows point-to-point (extender), point-to-many (distribution), many-to-
point (switching), and many-to-many (matrix) configurations. The VIP200 II series is set to
work out of the box as a point-to-point, or point-to-many system, no configuration is
necessary. For point to many configurations, simply plug them together through a network
switch using CAT5e or better cable.
The VIP200 II series covers all three modes of addressing.
Auto IP Addressing
The VIP200 II system default configuration provides automatic IP addressing in the
169.254.xxx.xxx range. The Auto IP method provides instant and easy setup and operation of
the VIP200 II devices when a specific manual IP address method is not required, and DHCP
is not required.
Manual IP Addressing (recommended)
The VIP200 II device IP addresses can be configured manually. Manual IP addressing is
utilized when the network is not DHCP, and the Auto IP range 169.254.xxx.xxx does not work
with the current network, or the intended design. These settings are normally done prior to
adding on to a network. Please see the ‘Setting Devices for Manual IP Addressing” in this
manual.
DHCP Addressing
The VIP200 II device IP addresses can be configured to accept IP addresses using DHCP.
Using our simple software application to identify the devices, you can then access their built-
in web page interface to change the devices to DHCP IP mode.
NOTE: Because transmitters create continuous streaming traffic of video on the network, it is
recommended when possible to create your IP video network independent of your data
network. Use of gigabit switches with jumbo frame and IGMP support are required for both
independent IP video networks, and cases where IP video systems are included within your
data network.

One Transmitter to Multiple Receiver Setup (point-to-many distribution)
Point-to-many connection via CAT5e or better cable (Auto IP mode and CAT6a cable recommended)
VIP200 II transmitters and receivers ship in Auto IP mode, which allows them to discover each other
with no configuration required. While it is possible to reconfigure the transmitter and receiver to
Manual IP or DHCP IP mode, there is no value to making these changes in a point-to-many
configuration, unless you need them to be on an existing network
•Connect the transmitter to your network switch
•Connect your receivers to the network switch
•Connect your source to the input of your transmitter
•Connect a display to the output of each receiver
•If desired, connect your confidence monitor to the loop out of the transmitter
•Connect the power adapters for each unit and apply power. The system will go through a normal
boot up sequence that takes approximately ten seconds to display the image.

KVM Operation
The receiver has four USB ports, the first port operates at 1.1 speeds, and the remaining ports operate at
2.0 speeds. Please use ports 2,3 or 4 when using a mouse or keyboard via USB to ensure ultra-low
latency. All receivers are by default enable to connect via USB to the transmitter. You can disable the
USB for each receiver if desired using our utility software, or from the OSD.
Typical reference streaming rates
Use of USB may add up to 50 mpbs to stream rate, depending on the USB device(s).

Remote Control (optional)
Initial setup of remote control
NOTE: In point-to-many configurations, many of the remote functions are not valuable or
applicable, as they are meant for managing multiple transmitters or receivers.
A remote being used for the first time, or after battery replacement, needs to be assigned an ID
The universal ID that will control all receivers is 8. Press the ‘Power’ and ‘8’ button at the same
time.
Typical remote-control operation for Point to Point Operation

o“Menu”,”27”,”Enter”
▪In order to avoid system errors, it is recommended when using one transmitter,
such as point to many distribution, to disable the channel buttons, as you will
always use only one channel. You can reverse this setting if needed.
•Display Selected Channel
o“Enter”
▪In a point to many configuration, it is recommended to use the default
transmitter channel 1.
•Set to Receiver to Factory Default
o“Menu”,”333”,”Enter”
▪Sets the Receiver only to factory default
•Receiver reboot
o“Menu”,”999”,”Enter”
Mute/unmute image
Press the ‘Power’ button to toggle mute/unmute. Note: there is an approximate four second
delay to unmute.

Troubleshooting – Point-to-Many
Receiver cannot find transmitter
•Receiver is not set to correct channel for transmitter
•Receiver or Transmitter are not connected via CAT cable or via network switch
•Power to transmitter is off
•Power to network switch is off
Transmitter reports no source (via OSD on Receiver lower left corner)
•Check source is active
•Ensure input cable is plugged in to correct port on transmitter (input vs loop out)
•Confirm cable passes signal and is not damaged
•Check power to transmitter is on
Appendix
Methods to determine Auto IP assignments
There are two ways to determine the IP assignments of the transmitters and receivers.
1. On Screen Display
Once the receiver discovers the transmitter that equals the channel it is assigned to, it will
display both IP addresses in the lower right corner when no video signal is present. If
a video signal is present, you can request display of the host (transmitter) and client
(receiver) with the following remote-control buttons:
2. Network Discovery
This method is available only when the transmitter(s) and receiver(s) are connected via a
network switch, and a computer running the iCON VIP Device Manager discovery tool is
utilized. The computer’s ip4v address must be set correctly to detect the devices.

Network Switch Requirements
While a point-to-point normally is configured with the transmitter and receiver directly connected to
each other by CAT cable, it is possible to have point to point over a network switch. The requirements
for all VIP-200 II systems connected to a network switch are:
•IGMP v2
•JumboFrame
Determination of bandwidth is up to system designer.
