Note: The units, as factory default, are set in "Auto IP" mode getting an IP address from the 169.254.xxx.xxx range
following the APIPA protocol to set a unique address in the network. This helps to quickly set up the signal distribution
in a dedicated network. You can also get the IP configuration of both the transmitter and receiver units by pressing
and holding the LB/LINK button on the transmitter unit or the CH+/LINK button the receiver unit for 3 seconds. This
will stop (if working) the video link and shows (in 640x480 resolution) the IP settings of the units.
Operation
Please refer to the following section to control the device through the integrated WebGUI or with RS232 serial
interface
WebGUI Control
All major functions of the unit, including status, streaming method, streaming channel selection, output resolution,
video wall configuration, EDID management, Ethernet settings, and reset/firmware functions are controllable via
multiple tabs in the WebGUI interface allowing for reasonably intuitive operation.
Each Transmitter and Receiver is controlled by its own WebGUI interface which may be accessed by opening a
standard web browser on a PC and typing in the IP address of the unit you wish to connect to. If you do not already
know the IP addresses of the units in your system, you can discover the IP addresses by disabling the streaming link
on either the Transmitter or Receiver units in a connected system and connecting an HDMI display to each Receiver.
This is done by pressing and holding the "LINK" button on the front of the unit for 3 seconds (The LINK light will blink
rapidly, then turn off).
Once the link is broken, each connected Receiver will output 640×480 black screen with OSD text at the bottom
identifying its own IP address (Local IP), as well as the IP address of the Transmitter (Remote IP) that shares the
same broadcasting channel with it (channel 0 by default). After obtaining the IP address information, press and hold
the "LINK" button again for 3 seconds to return the unit to normal operation (The LINK light will light up solid yellow).
Once you have connected to a unit's WebGUI, you will be presented with a screen containing multiple tabs for each
functionality area of the unit. To view the contents of a tab, click on the appropriate button at the top of the window.
The individual tabs and functions will be introduced in the following sections.
Video over IP streaming uses a large amount of bandwidth (especially at higher resolutions) and requires a Gigabit
Ethernet network switch with jumbo frame support and IGMP snooping like the Lindy No.25047 or 25048. These
units are professional managed switches with VLAN support and are strongly recommended for these applications.
Please note that most consumer-grade routers are not able to handle the high traffic rates generated by multicast
mode, so using a router directly as your network switch is discouraged. It is strongly suggested to avoid mixing your
regular network traffic with VoIP streaming traffic and the VoIP traffic should exist within a separate subnet, at the
minimum.
TRANSMITTER UNIT (No.38266) – Detailed WebGUI description
System Tab
The System tab of the transmitter unit WebGUI contains 4 windows that provide access to firmware version
information, a firmware update interface, utilities for rebooting and resetting the unit, basic EDID management, Telnet
command entry, and a variety of statistics and information about the operational state of the unit.
