Page 4: Chapter 1 Safety Information
Chapter L E I V I O T E C H N O L O G I E S , I N C . Chapter 1 Safety Information IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. - Page 5 Do not operate this unit if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Leivio Technologies Inc. or an authorized service agent using a power cord available from Leivio Technologies, Inc.

Page 6: Grounding Instructions
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. This unit must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This unit is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. -
Page 7: Adapter Plugs
ADAPTER PLUGS Ensure proper ground and firm connection before use. Situations when power cord is disconnected infrequently. Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter which is available at most local hardware stores. -
Page 8: Extension Cords
EXTENSION CORDS A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if you are careful in using them. If an extension cord is used— The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the unit. -
Page 9: Chapter 2 Setup Instructions
Chapter Chapter 2 Setup Instructions Be sure to read and understand the following operation information for maximum benefit from the product. Cabling and Connecting Setup Set up for the unit is pretty straight forward. After unpacking the unit and inspecting the case for any possible shipping damage place the unit in its intended operating position. -
Page 10: Audio Connections
Audio Connections Feed either monaural or stereo into the units Line level 3.5mm (1/8 inch) male Mini- phono jack. If you have a mono signal, you may use a 2-conductor plug for this signal input or the three conductor plug for a stereo signal to be encoded. Network Cable Connections Connect the units NIC RJ-45 port (CAT5 cable) from a local 10/100BaseT switch network. -
Page 11: Configuring The Network Interface
There are four basic steps to configuring the network address and default encoding modes 1. Configure the terminal program to communicate with the Leivio RS232 2. Activate the serial port link between the User PC and the device 3. Program the defaults 4. -
Page 12: Configuring Step One
Configuring Step One Now we will teach your PC to talk to the Leivio Unit with the following actions First off we teach the terminal program to speak with the Leivio unit. You need to... - Page 13 Figure 2.2 Configure Bits per second at 9600 For our operation we will speak to, and from, the computer at 9600 bits per second, so we must adjust up from the default value for the serial port. Figure 2.3 Adjust property’s for the connection Now that we have set the speed we need to define the “language”.
- Page 14 Figure 2.4 Go to Settings Tab Now we have the connections “properties” box. We don’t need to use anything on the front page, but the top tabs include one named “settings” which we do need to select at this time. Figure 2.5 select “ASCII Setup"...

Page 15: Configuring Step Two
Figure 3.8 select "Echo typed characters locally" then click OK and OK to properties. To finish teaching the computer and the encoder to communicate select the box marked “Echo typed characters locally”. Then click “OK” and “OK” With other OS platforms and terminal programs the basic functions are the same. Just remember to set the data rate at 9600 Bits per second and the ASCII character sending to Local Echo with the correct serial port connected. -

To start communication between the Leivio unit and the connected computer, press the “TERM” button on the Leivio back panel and hold it there while you turn on the power switch on the rear of the unit or Press the “Reset” button on the front. -
Page 17: Configuring Step Three
The fourth menu item asks for the target decoder. This is for companies wanting point to point communication where the receiver is a decoder Leivio made, a Personal computer, or a store and forward device. In point to point communication, you define... - Page 18 For those wanting to Multi-cast (or point to many points) the video and audio encoding then you will put in the multicasting IP address for your network. This allows many people to share the one IP stream Figure 7 - Other options are simply numbered as well Fortunately most of the menu items are simple.

Now you can disconnect the terminal program and power cycle the unit normally ( by WARNING! Once turning the power switch off and on), or start the encoder as shown in fig. -

The “Settings” link accesses a page like the one illustrated at Figure 12. You’re able to directly change the Bitrate of the encoder from this page. - Page 25 There are some limitations to this function based on the unit’s configuration from the factory, and from choices made in the initial configuration with the serial cable. 1. If your unit is not purchased with a encode range, you will not be able to select that bit rate or format.
