6.6 WebGUI Control
Important Notes
-
All major functions of the unit, including status, streaming method,
streaming channel selection, output resolution, video wall
configuration, EDID management, Ethernet settings, and reset/
firmware functions are controllable via multiple tabs in the WebGUI
interface allowing for reasonably intuitive operation.
-
Each Transmitter and Receiver is controlled by its own WebGUI
interface which may be accessed by opening a standard web browser
on a PC and typing in the IP address of the unit you wish to connect
to. If you do not already know the IP addresses of the units in your
system, you can discover the IP addresses by disabling the streaming
link on either the Transmitter or Receiver units in a connected system
and connecting an HDMI display to each Receiver. This is done by
pressing and holding the “LINK” button on the front of the unit for 3
seconds (The LINK light will blink rapidly, then turn off).
-
Once the link is broken, each connected Receiver will output a
640×480 black screen with OSD text at the bottom identifying its
own IP address (Local IP), as well as the IP address of the Transmitter
(Remote IP) that shares the same broadcasting channel with it
(channel 0 by default). After obtaining the IP address information,
press and hold the “LINK” button again for 3 seconds to return the
unit to normal operation (The LINK light will light up solid green).

Once you have connected to a unit’s WebGUI, you will be presented
with a screen containing multiple tabs for each functionality area
of the unit. To view the contents of a tab, click on the appropriate
button at the top of the window. The individual tabs and functions
will be introduced in the following sections.

Video over IP streaming uses a large amount of bandwidth (especially
at higher resolutions) and a Gigabit Ethernet network switch with
jumbo frame support and IGMP snooping is required. A professional
managed switch with VLAN support is strongly recommended.
Please note that most consumer-grade routers are not able to
handle the high traffic rates generated by multicast mode, so using
