Unit Name
Name details that you can alter to distinguish this unit from all others. The name entered here will be read by
A.I.M. units (if used) for administration purposes.
Unit Description
Allows you to optionally add a description of ALIF100T unit, such as its location. Useful when many ALIF units are being
used.
System port
This section determines the IP Address, Netmask and Gateway details for the Gigabit Ethernet port located on
the front panel. The default IP address is 169.254.1.33 which is the zero config IP address that allows ALIF100T
unit to work immediately in point-to-point mode. You are recommended to change this to an appropriate
address in the private IP range 192.168.xxx.xxx
The default netmask is 255.255.0.0. If you change the IP address to the private range, you are recommended to
change this to 255.255.255.0 The default gateway address is 0.0.0.0
Force Multicast
By default, the ALIF100T unit will use unicast transmission when only a single RX is connected. This would then
be upgraded to multicast when one or more other RX units are added. By ticking this option, the ALIF100T
unit will always use multicast. This option should be ticked for most installations as it provides the most efficient
way to deliver video and audio to multiple destinations.
Enable options
These checkboxes allow you to determine which peripheral options will be used: Video, audio and USB.
Identify unit
When clicked, these buttons cause the top indicators to flash to assist with identifying the ALIF100T unit within
a rack.
• The Identify Unit (short) button flashes the indicators for five seconds.
• The Identify Unit (long) button flashes the indicators for one hour but can be overridden by clicking the
Identify Unit (short) button.
Target Multicast Configuration
This option allows you to configure an IP address to which this transmitter can send multicast data, and from
which multiple receivers can tap into it.
Note: The multicast addresses for each service endpoint must be unique across the whole ALIF installation.
