Introducing SmartLynx Cat5 AV Extender What‘s in the box? Thank you for buying the Smart-e SmartNet Cat5 AV Switch & Extender. Depending on the configuration of your system various quantities of the parts below may be included in your shipment.
SDTV, SVGA (800x600) How does SmartNet work? The Smart-e SmartNet systems are switch/transmitter and receiver pairs designed to extend video, stereo audio and IR/RS232 signals over (UTP & STP) unshielded & shielded twisted pair category 5 (Cat5) cabling. They are...
Installation and Operation 1. Preparing for installation Start installation process by ensuring that all video displays and audio devices are compatible with the computers being used. This is accomplished by connecting the devices directly to the computer and checking that the devices operate as desired without the SmartNet system.

Installation and Operation 5. Configuring the Video Processing. On the base of the unit are four switches, these are to be used to configure the way in which the unit handles video sources. The switches functionality are as follows: If more than 16 units are used then the Hex Switch (see following page) is unable to address them.
Page 11
Installation and Operation 6. Allocating unique identifications to the SNX-2112s. Using the Hex Switch on the side of the units (see diagram below), you can provide a unique address to each unit for control purposes. The Hex Switch has 16 unique addresses, A-F and 0-9, please ensure that each of the units cascaded are given a different address.

Troubleshooting No video? Are the green LEDs on both the transmitter and receiver units? If not check that the 24V power supply (PSU) is connected and the LED on the PSU is lit. Check the cable compensation dials on the underside of the unit. Over compensation of the Red and Blue channels can cause the display to misinterpret the sync pulses and not display an image.
