• WebGUI Overview After connecting to the WebGUI’s address in a web browser, the login screen will appear. Please enter the appropriate user name and password then click “Submit” to log in. Note: The default user name and password is “admin”. On the left side of the browser you will see the following menu tabs where all primary functions of the unit (Switch, Automation, EDID Settings and System Settings) are controllable via the built in WebGUI.
6.3.1 Switch Tab This tab provides video/audio routing control as well as control over HDCP behavior, freerun settings, and naming of the Inputs and Output. To assign a new video route, please click the Output button and then click on the button of the preferred Input port to route. As you select each button they will change their color to orange.
Page 14
■ Audio Route: Control the audio used when the HDMI input is active. Selecting “Bypass” will use the HDMI signal’s normal audio. Selecting “External” will use the analog stereo audio. ■ Freerun Mode: Enable or disable the video freerun function. When this is enabled, the selected freerun color will be displayed on the screen if there is no live source on the selected input.
6.3.2 Automation Tab The Automation tab provides control over the unit’s automatic control command broadcast behavior when the specified system trigger events occur. Automation commands may be sent to 3rd party devices via standard CEC, or customizable RS-232. Note: Sending RS-232 commands requires the use of a compatible HDBaseT Receiver with an RS-232 port.

■ Trigger Wait: Set the length of time, in seconds, to wait after this CEC Automation Event has been activated before ANY other Trigger Event can be detected. ■ Trigger Command: Set the CEC command to send when the specified Trigger Event is activated. Clicking the “Test” button will send the command immediately.
6.3.3 EDID Settings Tab This tab provides control over the EDID behavior of the unit. There are six internal EDIDs, two customer uploaded EDIDs, and one sink sourced EDID that can be assigned to each input port individually. The sink EDID and both Customer EDIDs are also available for download to the connected PC.
