RX (receiver) unit configuration

In the Infinity system, it is the RX unit (receiver) that determines where and how
data signals are sent (and received) by the
topologies (one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, etc.) are made possible
by the Infinity system, they are all dependent on two underlying modes of
operation: either Unicast or Multicast transmission. Where multicast transmission
is not invoked for video and/or audio data, operation will be automatically
served by unicast network transmission technologies.
The RX unit setup (using the System Configuration page of its browser-based
configuration utility) is concerned with four main factors: Its own IP address
details, the data streams to enable/disable, the IP address of the TX unit
and multicast transmission details. Other pages, such as
Firmware Upgrades and Reboot are generally not used or altered during the
majority of installations and are discussed elsewhere in this guide.
See Appendix 3 for configuration examples.

2 In the System Configuration section, ensure that the System IP address
and System Netmask for this RX unit are correct. Their default settings
are 192.168.16.127 and 255.255.255.0 respectively. Where changes
are necessary, enter the new values and click the Update Now button.
The System IP Address that is set here will be sent to the TX unit as the
destination for transmitted data (when operating in unicast mode). The
Gateway entry is only necessary when the TX unit is located on a separate
network to the RX unit.
3 Check that the data streams (Video RX, Audio TX/RX and USB TX/RX) are
enabled (ticked) or disabled (unticked) as appropriate. There are similar
options within the Infinity TX unit configuration; If one of these options
is ticked in one unit but unticked in the other, then that data stream will
remain disabled. If you make a change, click the Update Now button.
4 If necessary, alter the Audio Input Type to match your audio input. The
line option is for a stereo line input, mic and mic boost are for mono
microphones, the latter benefiting from a +20dB gain boost.
5 In the Remote Unit Settings section, enter the IP address for the TX unit that
will be supplying the video, audio and USB data streams. Most often all three
streams are supplied by the same TX unit, so a single IP address can be used.
However, it is possible to receive them from different locations, in which
case, click the blue arrow to reveal the three separate video, audio and USB
addresses. The default setting for all of these three entries are the standard
IP address that is factory set within every TX unit (192.168.16.129). If any
changes are made, click the Update Now button to save and activate them.
