Wiring and Connections
WyreStorm recommends that all wiring for the installation is run and terminated prior to making connections to the switcher. Read through this section in it’s
entirety before running or terminating the wires to ensure proper operation and to avoid damaging equipment.
IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines
• The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, and
electrical or environmental interference will have an adverse effect on
signal transmission which may limit performance. Steps should be taken
to minimize or remove these factors completely during installation for best
results.
• WyreStorm recommends the use of shielded category cable to minimize
signal noise and interference.
• WyreStorm recommends using pre-terminated HDMI cables due to the
complexity of these connector types. Using pre-terminated cables will
ensure that these connections are accurate and will not interfere with the
performance of the product.
.
IR TX/RX Guidelines
• Using WyreStorm infrared emitters and receivers is the best way to ensure
that most IR coding formats are transmitted and received by the NetworkHD
system. Other 3rd party emitters and receivers can be used; however, these
devices must operate in the same manner as the WyreStorm devices.
• Due to differences in IR across 3rd party control systems their IR ports
should never be connected directly to a NetworkHD system as an
incompatibility may exist. WyreStorm offers a cable that compensates for
voltage differences as well adjusts for differences in the pins used within the
port. Refer to the CAB-IR-LINK product page for more information.
IR TX Port Pinout
Connection for IR TX (transmit) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) mono plug.
Tip: Anode
Sleeve: Cathode (IR Signal)
IR RX/IR EXT Port Pinout
Connection for IR RX (receive) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) stereo jack that outputs
+5V DC to power the included IR receiver.
Tip:
Ring: IR Signal
+5V DC
Sleeve: Ground (GND)
RS-232 Wiring
Most control systems and computers are DTE where pin 2 is RX, this can vary
from device to device. Refer to the documentation for the connected device for
pin functionally to ensure that the correct connections can be made.
3rd Party Device
Pin 2 TX (Transmit) ---> To ---> RX (Receive)

IR Code Settings
This matrix has 2 different IR code sets to help alleviate interference with devices that may contain a similar IR code. These various code sets can be set within
the units web UI should the need arise to change them. We recommend that the IR code set be left to default unless absolutely required to resolve a code
sharing issue.
1. Access the Web UI. Refer to Accessing the Web UI.
2. Navigate to the Settings tab within the Admin section of the Web UI. Default password is admin.
3. Under IR Code select one of the available IR code sets. Mode 1 (0x00) is the default setting.

Setup and Conguration
Setup for this matrix including EDID is performed within the Web UI. Refer to Accessing the Web UI for details.
Accessing the Web UI
This matrix uses an Auto IP method to generate the initial IP address based on the network connections. By default the IP address is set to DHCP and will pull
the IP address from a connected DHCP server. Should the network not contain a DHCP server the IP address will be generated based on the units mac address.
The above operation will occur unless the IP Address setting in the web UI is set to static.
1. Connect the matrix to the same network as a PC.
2. Using a 3rd party network scanner, scan the network for the IP address of
the matrix.
3. Open a web browser and enter the IP Address of the matrix.
4. Enter the password for the matrix. Default Password: admin
IP Address Notes
• The IP address of the unit can be displayed by pressing and holding the UP
and Down buttons on the front panel for 3 seconds. The IP address will be
displayed on the front panel.
• The installer password and general password are the same by default.
WyreStorm recommends changing the password for installer login to avoid
any unwanted changes being made to the matrix conguration.
Low Power Mode (Standby)
This matrix contains a Low Power Mode that will place the unit into Standby using less power than normal operating mode. While in this mode the Front Panel
display and LEDs will be Off and outputs will be powered down. Once a command is sent via the Front Panel buttons, IR remote/control system, or RS-232/IP
control system the unit will wake from Standby and be fully operational. The unit can be placed back into standby via the Web UI or by sending an API command
as described in the following sections.
Enabling Low Power Mode via Web UI
1. Access the Web UI. Refer to Accessing the Web UI.
2. Navigate to the Settings tab within the Admin section of the Web UI. Default
password is admin.
3. Under Low Power Mode, select On to enable.
Enabling via RS-232/IP
Refer to the products API document for information on Com port and IP
addressing settings.
• To place the unit into Standby send the command STANDBY<CR><LF>.
• To remove the unit from Standby send the command WAKE<CR><LF>.
• To query the current Standby state send the command GET
STANDBY<CR><LF>.
Troubleshooting
No or Poor Quality Picture (snow or noisy image)
• Verify that A/V mute is not enabled. Check Web UI for status on the selected
output
• Verify that the matrix is not in Standby. Refer to Low Power Mode (Standby)
for details
• Verify that power is being supplied to the transmitter and receiving device.
• Verify that all HDMI and HDBaseT connections are not loose and are
functioning properly
• Verify that the HDBaseT cable is properly terminated following EIA568B
standard
• Verify that the output resolution of the source and display is supported by
this matrix and recevier
• If transmitting 3D or 4K, verify that the HDMI cables used are 3D or 4K rated
No or Intermittent 3rd party Device Control
• Verify that the IR and RS-232 cables are properly terminated following the
Wiring and Connections section.
• Change the matrix IR code set in order to avoid interference with other
devices. Refer to IR Code Settings.
Troubleshooting Tips:
• WyreStorm recommends using a cable tester or connecting the cable to
other devices to verify functionality.
