Preface About this manual The following document is designed to provide basic installation and administration instructions associated with the Endeleo Multi Format (UDM1604) Video Switch’s Browser Interface. It is assumed the installer has a good understanding of basic networking and video / audio installation procedures.
Important Safety Markings Markings used in this The following symbols are used on the Endeleo UDM switch hardware and throughout this Service manual Guide to advise you of important instructions. All maintenance must be carried out by an Endeleo trained and qualified engineer. This symbol warns the presence of a voltage of sufficient magnitude to cause a severe or fatal electric shock.
Environmental Conditions The criteria on this page must be observed for the installation of Endeleo Multi Format Video Distribution system. Temperature DO NOT install or operate the Endeleo Multi Format Video Distribution system in an area where the ambient temperature exceeds 35ºC (95ºF) or falls below 5ºC (35ºF).
Chapter 1 Hub configuration Hub Configuration Connecting to the Multi Format Video Hub The default IP address of the Multi Format Video Hub is 192.168.0.96. Enter the IP address into the address field within a browser window. Figure 1-1: Default IP address of the Multi Format Video Hub Hub Login Upon connection to the hub authentication (username and password) is required.
Chapter 1 Hub configuration Configuring the Hub Each Hub can be configured for the correct network environment. It is also possible to configure each Hub for the correct date and time. 1.3.1 Network configuration Hubs can be configured for the network environment using the Setup page.

Use Hyperterminal to connect to the RX via its serial port. At the command prompt type in setup. Once in setup mode type in x to reset the compensation settings if required.
Section 7 Advanced Administration 7.8.2 Cascading two Hubs To cascade 2 hubs together ensure the hubs are located within distance of the Endeleo UDM-EXP-01 cascade cable. Attach one end of the UDM-EXP-01 cable to the Cascade Out port on the Hub whose video source is to be cascaded to another hub.
Section 7 Advanced Administration 7.8.3 Cascading three Hubs To cascade 3 hubs together ensure the hubs are located within distance of the Endeleo UDM-EXP-01 cascade cables. Attach one end of the UDM-EXP-01 cable to the Cascade Out port on the Hub whose video source is to be cascaded to another hub.
Section 7 Advanced Administration Figure 7-13: 3 hubs cascaded together 7.8.4 Software configuration for cascading hubs Once the cabling has been connected it is necessary to perform some minor software configuration within the UDM Web Browser. 7.8.4.1 A two hub software configuration scenario On the hub which will actually display the video source a check box needs to be activated.
Section 7 Advanced Administration 7.8.4.2 A three hub software configuration scenario On the hub which will actually display the video source a check box needs to be activated.
