Installation
1. Install all units in the rack and connect them as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1
2. The audio and video input signals connect to the back of the
modules.
Figure 2
3. If a network is available that provides IP addresses through DHCP,
connect the encoders to the network as shown in Figure 3. If such a
network is not available, then a computer will need to be connected
as shown in Figure 4.

4. Power on the units.
Figure 4 - Rack without DHCP server.
5. Connect the programmer to each unit and set a unique number in
the “# ID” eld according to the order of installation of the units in
the rack.

Figure 5 - Set a # number dierent for each unit.
6. Connect the programmer to a unit, usually the rst one, and read
the IP address.
Each unit can work as a master controller for the other units. All units
can be congured by connecting to only one.

Figure 6 - Read the IP address of one unit.
7. If a network was connected in Step 3 then proceed to step 8. If not,
set the address of you computer as follows:
IP value = 172.20.0.2
netmask = 255.0.0.0
gateway = 172.20.0.3
NOTE: The default factory conguration of the units has an IP address in
this range (it should be dierent for each unit). If a unit was ever
provided an address before, manually or through DHCP, this unique
address may no longer exist. Resetting to IP factory defaults, will
return the original unique private address though.
8. In your web browser, enter the IP address from Step 6 as the URL.
A login prompt will appear. By default the parameters are:
Login: encoder
Password: encoder

The Status > Summary page should appear as the rst page.
This provides a summary of all the units installed in the network and the
units will be sorted by the number entered in Step 5.
The “Change Password” option only changes the password of the encoder
currently logged in to. To change the password for the remaining modules,
each one will need to be logged into with its unique IP address and the
change made for each.
Figure 8 shows an example of a detailed status page.
9. Congure all units:
Select “CONFIGURATION”. This page has 4 options, INPUT, TRANSPORT,
OUTPUT, and NETWORK, shown in Figures 9, 10, 11, and 12 respectively.
For each conguration page, the last column is“Select”. Any changes made,
will be saved only to the units with this associated “Select” box checked
when “Apply Selected“ is clicked. This applies to all 4 of the sections under
the Conguration Menu.
10. Change conguration of one unit:
Select “CONFIGURATION”. Click on the Model name of the desired unit
and the page below will be shown. From this page you can change any
parameter of the conguration of the desired unit.
Figure 7 - Status > Summary tab.
Figure 8 - Status > Detailed tab.
Figure 9 - Conguration > Input tab.
Figure 13 - Conguration > Advanced conguration
Some items have an automatic conguration option, such as “Automatic
channel numbering”shown in gure 10.
The network conguration page allows a change to the Number assigned in
Step 5. This option also has an “Auto”assignment feature.
The“Auto”option will ask for conrmation since it will overwrite the settings
of all units set in Step 5 and the ordering will likely not be as the units were
placed in the rack.
