MuxLab 500752 Operating Manual

Overview
The HDMI over IP Extender Kit with PoE (500752) can be used with or without the help of
software. When use in an environment without the software the configuration can be manage using
the DIP Switches of the device. When used with the software, all the management will be done
with it. Independent of the way the product will be control a gigabit Ethernet switch is required.
This manual will explain you how to setup correctly the Ethernet switch, how to manage the system
manually and how to use the MuxLab software.
Applications
Applications include commercial and residential AV systems, classroom projector systems, digital
signage, boardroom systems, collaborative PC systems, and medical information systems.
Configuration of the Ethernet switch
We take the assumption that the Ethernet switch will be used only for the video/audio transport of
the 500752 and that no connection will be shared with the Ethernet infrastructure of the building.
When the 500752 are used in a matrix configuration it is mandatory to have an Ethernet switch with
the following capability: Gigabit Ethernet, DHCP Server and IGMP. We recommend using the
Cisco SG300 Series. The following section will explain you how to correctly configure the DHCP
Server and enable IGMP. If you are using a different manufacturer for the Ethernet switch please
look at the user manual on how to perform these steps.
Establishing communication with the Cisco Ethernet switch
1. Connect your computer directly to the Cisco Switch using an Ethernet patch cord.
2. Set an Static IP for the computer network interface, like 192.168.1.2 with a mask
255.255.255.0
3. Using a browser connect to the Cisco switch. Enter the switch IP address in the address bar
and press Enter. For example http://192.168.1.254. The Default User ID and Password are
"cisco".
