• WebGUI Overview All major functions of this 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.
6.5.1 System Tab The System tab 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. 1) Version Information Window: This window displays detailed information about the current firmware version.
Page 16
3) Utilities Window: The Utilities window allows users to reset the unit back to the factory defaults by clicking “Factory Default”. The unit may be rebooted (without resetting settings) by pressing the “Reboot” button. If requested by technical support, you may also enable logging by clicking the “Log Message”...
Page 17
4) Statistics Window: The Statistics window shows all available information about the operational status of the unit, including the current host name, serial number, Ethernet information, MAC address, unicast/ multicast mode, link status and mode.
6.5.2 Video Wall Tab The Video Wall tab allows users to design, edit and manipulate a video wall system created using multiple receiver units connected to identical displays. The bezel and video size of the displays being used, as well as the horizontal and vertical monitor count, is defined here.
Page 19
OW (Outer Width): This is the horizontal measurement of the display’s outer case. OH (Outer Height): This is the vertical measurement of the display’s outer case. VW (Video Width): This is the horizontal measurement of the display’s video screen.
Page 20
Horizontal Monitor Count: Define the number of displays in the video wall, measured horizontally. (Maximum is 16 displays) Row Position: Set the vertical location of the currently controlled display. (Counts top to bottom, from 0 to 15) Column Position: Set the horizontal location of the currently controlled display.
6.5.3 Network Tab The Network tab provides control over the transmitter’s broadcast channel, IP configuration, and network broadcast mode. Changes made to the network settings will require a reboot of the unit. After clicking on “Apply” please follow the reboot instructions in the WebGUI. Note: If the IP address is changed then the IP address required for WebGUI access will also change accordingly.

and gateway address. Click the “Apply” button to save changes made to the IP Mode or Configuration. Note: The default network setting for this unit is “Auto IP” Find Your Device: Selecting “Show Me” will cause the unit to immediately begin flashing the LEDs on the front of the unit to make it easy to find.
6.5.4 Functions Tab The Functions tab provides control over the unit’s AV source management, and streaming bandwidth/quality settings, as well as defining how USB and serial signals are handled. Changes made to these settings typically require a reboot of the unit. After clicking on “Apply” please follow the reboot instructions in the WebGUI, if necessary.

2) Audio over IP: The audio source to embed with the current video source in the outbound AVoIP stream is selected here. Selecting “Auto” will automatically switch to the detected audio source. Selecting “HDMI’ will embed the current HDMI video’s audio source, selecting “Line In” will embed the Line In audio source.
Page 25
4) Serial over IP: This section provides controls for the serial over IP extension functionality, including setting the RS-232 data configuration. Serial Settings: Set the desired baud rate, data bits, parity, and stop bits for the RS-232 signal to extend. Note: The transmitter and receiver must have the same serial settings.
6.6 Telnet Control Before attempting to use Telnet control, please ensure that both the unit and the PC are connected to the same active networks. Start your preferred Telnet/Console client, or use the built in client provided by most modern computer operating systems. After starting the client, connect by using the current IP address of the unit and port 23 (if the communication port number used by the unit has not been changed previously).
