4. Installation
This section gives an overview of the ways to install and connect the base unit.
4.1 Installation methods for the base unit
Introduction to the installation methods:
The base unit can be installed either by table mounting or wall mounting in a meeting room.
The articulated antennas are removable and rotatable for easier connection and better signal.
Attention: For optimal performance, install the base unit close to the display and avoid obstacles
between the base unit and dongles.
Required tools
• A drill (type of drill depends on the type of wall)
• 2 mounting screws (mounting screws are not included in the package) (between 6 and 8 mm)
How to install
1. Drill two holes in the wall.
2. Insert 2 flat screws into the 2 holes and fasten
3. At the bottom of the base unit, plug 2 flat screws into 2 holes of its smallest diameter to fasten.
Note: Mounting screws are not included in the box. The type of screws depends on the type of wall
(stone, wood, plasterboard, ...) the base unit is mounted to. Make sure the head of the screw is not
larger than the hole at the bottom of the base unit.
4. Place the base unit on the wall and fix it with the 2 screws.
Antenna placement rules
⚫The antennas should be oriented vertically, perpendicular to the ceiling and parallel to the walls.
⚫The antennas should be installed far enough (at least 50cm/1.6ft) from metallic surfaces to avoid
reflections and far enough (at least 1m/3.3ft) from other radio equipment that operates in the
same frequency range, e.g., other Wi-Fi access points, cordless telephone, microwave ovens. It is
also better to install antennas at least 15 cm (6 inches) from concrete walls.
⚫The best situation is a direct line of sight between antennas and transmitters. Any obstruction can
cause the signal to follow a longer propagation path, which may result in performance
degradation.
⚫Due to the radio pattern of the dipole antennas, the antennas should not be placed just above the
position of the user. The advised position for the antennas is at the side of the meeting room.

4.2 Wiring Diagram
4.3 Power Connection
The base unit can be powered by external power adapters.
How to connect the external power adapter
1. Connect the power adapter with the power lead and plug it into the power input of the base unit.
2. Choose the appropriate power plug (US, UK, or EU) to be installed on the power lead.
3. Plug the power lead into the wall outlet.
Note: Once the base unit is powered on, please use the POWER button with Status LED on the front of
the base unit to switch the unit ON and OFF.
Power over Ethernet
If the IP switcher supports POE (Power over Ethernet), it will power up the base unit without the use
of any external power adapter.

SD-MA-04415 V2.0
4.4 Video Connection
1. Connect the HDMI Output of the base unit to a 4K or Full-HD display by a HDMI cable.
2. Connect the power adapter to the base unit DC power socket, connect the power plug to an
outlet and switch the base unit on.
3. The system will then display the home page.
4.5 Audio Connection
The base unit can transmit the audio output of the PC/Mac, re-direct and send it with the video signal.
The audio will be output at line levels from mini jack socket 3.5mm connector and via the HDMI
output connectors simultaneously.
It’s up to the user to decide whether to send the audio signal together with the video signal.
How to connect separate audio
1. Connect an audio cable with mini jack socket 3.5mm connector into audio port of the base unit.
2. Connect the other side to the sound system of the meeting room.
PC/Mac Sound
By default, the internal speaker of PC/Mac will be muted, and the audio will be routed to the base
unit after PC/Mac successfully mirrors desktop to the main screen, which is to avoid repeated audio.
When sharing is terminated, local speaker will return to previous status and the volume on PC/Mac
can be adjusted.
4.6 LAN connection
The base unit can be connected to a local network or directly to a PC/Mac.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable with RJ45 connector into the LAN port of the base unit.
2. Connect the other side to LAN.
3. If the Ethernet switch supports POE (Power over Ethernet), it could power up the unit without the
use of external power adapter.
LAN connection can be used for:
⚫Network integration of the base unit in guest or company network.
⚫Telnet control the base unit.
⚫Maintenance purpose to access WebUI.

SD-MA-04416 V2.0
4.7 Use of USB devices
USB control: A USB mouse or touch screen can be connected to the base unit.
USB mouse
⚫For configuration of the home screen.
⚫Single click to select.
⚫Right-click to back to the Home Page.
⚫Long press the left button to open the contextual menus, same as right-click of a USB mouse.
Touch screen

⚫Long press to open the contextual menus, same as right-click of a USB mouse.
External USB Devices over Wi-Fi Sharing
TP-U400 supports USB Camera and USB speakerphone over Wi-Fi sharing.
There are 3 USB ports and 1 Type C port in rear panel of TP-U400 for connecting the external USB
devices such as microphone and camera, to start meeting with all kinds of video conference software
such as Teams and Zoom.
