Installation and Operation
ATTENTION! Do not connect these units to an active Ethernet Network! These are NOT Ethernet
devices: they only use Ethernet standard cables for the connections and they can't work through
Ethernet active devices like switch, router, etc.
This device doesn't support any EDID forwarding or cloning. Please be sure that the the displays and
sources can work in a video mode included in the table you can find in the section "EDID Presets" at the
end of this manual.
Please use short HDMI cables (i.e. 0.5m: No.41110, 1m: No.41111) to connect the extender units to the
monitors. This will ensure the best results.
Please switch off all the devices involved in the installation before starting to make any
connection.
For the installation, please use the following steps:
1) Connect the remote displays / projectors to the receiver / repeater units with a HDMI cable.
2) Connect an RJ45 connector of the Cat.5e/6 cable(s) to all the receiver / repeater units to be
installed (Cat.5 In)
3) Connect the other RJ45 connector of the Cat.5e cable(s) to the transmitter unit (Cat.5 Out.). If
using multiple Receiver/Repeaters connect them together in the required configuration using
Cat.5e/6 cable(s) too.
4) Connect the HDMI video source to the related Input port on the transmitter unit using a HDMI
cable.
5) Connect the Power Supply Units to the DC power ports on the transmitter and receiver units and
then to the mains power socket.
6) Switch on all the source and display devices.

Troubleshooting

There is no display on a screen.

Make sure you have NOT used any active networking devices in the extender network

Check that the DC plug and jack used by external power supply are firmly connected.

Check that the CAT5e/6 cable is plugged in correctly and that the Power LED is light

Check that the HDMI source and display are both powered on and active.

Reduce the length of CAT5e/6 or HDMI cable used, or use a higher quality cable.

Check if the video mode you are using is included in the table "EDID Presets" at the end of this
manual.
