Operations and Installation Guide, Doc. 7257. 

Setup of the IP address of the DM-TX-401-S/

DM-TX-401-S2 depends on the way the 

transmitter is configured within the DigitalMedia 

8G system:

●  If the transmitter is connected to a receiver/

  room controller, the transmitter uses its own 

configuration settings. The transmitter ships 

with DHCP enabled; however, the default IP 

address can be assigned by holding down the 

SETUP

 button while the unit boots up. 

  The default IP address of the DM-TX-401-S/

  DM-TX-401-S2 is 192.168.1.238. The default 

IP address overwrites the current setting.

●  If the transmitter is connected to a DM 

switcher, the transmitter is automatically 

configured by the switcher.

If manual configuration of the IP address of the 

transmitter is desired, use Crestron Toolbox™ to 

set the IP address.

By default, automatic switching of inputs is enabled. 

Automatic switching causes inputs to switch according to 

the following priorities:

●  Video switching priority:  DisplayPort, HDMI, RGB, 

composite

●  Audio switching priority:  DisplayPort, HDMI, 

  1/8” analog, dual RCA analog

The 

AUTO

 LED on the front panel of the transmitter lights 

to indicate that automatic switching is enabled.

To manually select the desired audio/video input, press 

the 

SELECT

 button on the front panel of the 

transmitter until the corresponding LED lights.

Pressing the 

SELECT

 button in succession cycles from 

automatic switching (default selection) through the various 

available selections in the following order:

●  DisplayPort audio and video. The 

DISPLAY PORT

 

LED lights.

●  HDMI audio and video. The

●  VGA video with 1/8” audio. The 

PC

 LED lights.

●  Composite video with dual RCA audio. The

LED lights.

●  None. No input is selected.

After cycling through the above selections, pressing the 

SELECT

 button returns to automatic switching.
