7. Installation & Setup
7.1 Basic Instructions
The encoders and decoders can form a complex AV over IP system that supports Web-based
GUI controlling and management. Due to Web-based GUI is built-in encoder box, so first thing
you should choose one of encoder boxes as the controller of the whole system (you can
choose any one of encoders in your system but it would be better if you know where it and
what's source be connects to this encoder). Then you can login this encoder Web Page to
configure all encoders and decoders in your system. Of course this encoder box still has
normal encoder box all functionality besides controller.
There are the basic steps that must be taken to configure the system for first use. See below
for full information on completing each step.
(1) Choose an encoder box as "Controller", you can connect it to your laptop through CAT5e/6
cable directly or through a network switcher likes below:
Laptop
Laptop
Note: If your connection likes above Figure 2 through a switcher, please only connect one
encoder (also call "Controller") to switcher at first configuration. Because:
All encoders have the same default IP address: 192.168.1.28.
All decoders have the same default IP address: 192.168.1.38.
You should change Controller IP address firstly, and then change the rest all encoders and
decoders IP address one by one.
(2) Set your laptop IP setting to the same domain with Controller so that you can login
Controller's Web page, for instance set laptop IP address to 192.168.1.111
