RX System Configuration (1 of 2)
Unit Name
Name details that you can alter to distinguish this unit from all others.
Unit Description
Allows you to add a description of the unit, such as its location. Useful when many ALIF units are being used.
System port
This section determines the IP address, netmask and gateway details for the main Gigabit Ethernet port located
on the right side of the front panel. The default IP address is 169.254.1.32 which is the zero config IP address
that allows the unit to work immediately in point-to-point mode. You are recommended to change this to an
appropriate address in the private IP range 192.168.xxx.xxx
The default netmask is 255.255.0.0. If you change the IP address to the private range, you are recommended to
change this to 255.255.255.0 The default gateway address is 169.254.1.1
Management port (ALIF dual models only - not shown in screenshot left)
Determines whether the port on the left side of the front panel is enabled and which IP address details it should
use. The default IP address is 192.168.1.42. You are recommended to leave this address unchanged (or at least keep
such addresses constant across all of your ALIF units) so that all visiting engineers will know which address to use.
Teaming port
Determines whether the SFP socket on the right side of the front panel is enabled and which IP address details
it should use. The default IP address is 169.254.1.42 which is the zero config IP address that allows the unit to
work immediately in point-to-point mode. You are recommended to change this to an appropriate address in
the private IP range 192.168.xxx.xxx The default netmask is 255.255.0.0. If you change the IP address to the
private range, you are recommended to change this to 255.255.255.0
The default gateway address is 169.254.1.1 Note: Before the Teaming port can be used for connection via a network,
you need to ensure that the System port has been configured away from its zero config IP address.
Enable options
These checkboxes allow you to determine which peripheral options will be used: Video, audio, USB and serial.
Audio Input Type
Choose 'line' for stereo line input, 'mic' for mono microphone or 'mic boost' for a mono microphone that
requires extra gain (+20dB).
Enable Video Compatibility Check (for DVI-D 1 and 2 on ALIF dual models)
If enabled, this option compares the EDID reported by the PC graphics card and determines whether the
display connected to the RX is capable of displaying the chosen video resolution. If not, an error message is
generated and the connection is not made.
Force Video Refresh Rate to 60Hz
If enabled, the receiver frame rate is held at 60Hz regardless of the video input frame rate. The Video Switching
options (below) cannot be altered when this option is enabled.
Video switching
Provides two options for video switching:
• Fast Switching (default state) - Retains the same frame rate (at either 50Hz or 60Hz) depending upon which
video resolution was displayed first.
• Match Frame Rate - Follows the source frame rate and will change the frame rate every time this changes even
if the video resolution doesn't change. If you have one receiver switching between 1920x1080@60Hz and
1920x1080@50Hz then this setting will change the frame rate from 60Hz to 50 Hz every time that you switch.
Identify unit
These buttons cause the front panel indicators to flash. The (short) button flashes indicators for 5 seconds; the
(long) button for one hour. Click the (short) button to override.
To get here
1 Connect your computer to a port on the front panel.
2 Run a web browser and enter the IP address of the Management (ALIF dual only) or System port used:
http://192.168.1.42 (management port) or http://169.254.1.32 (system port)
If the address is unknown, perform a manual factory
3 If necessary, click the System Configuration link.
