3. 

Installation  

Step 1.  

Connect  the  transmitter  and  the  receiver  by  using  an  LC  or  Neutrik 
OpticalCON  connector  equipped  with  multi  or  single  mode  fiber  cable 
depending on the Media connector. 

Step 2.  

Connect  a  DVI  or  HDMI  source  (e.g.  computer)  to  the  transmitter's  HDMI 
INPUT or DVI INPUT connector. 

Step 3.  

Connect the HDMI or DVI sink (e.g. monitor, projector etc.) to the receiver's 
HDMI output. For DVI displays the usage of adaptor cable is necessary. 

Step 4.  

For controlling the device  using the  built  in WEB page  connect a computer 
with a LAN patch cable to the Ethernet port of the transmitter or the receiver. 
Both devices can be accessed and controlled through either Ethernet port. 

Step 5.  

Optionally for Ethernet extension: 

 

connect some Ethernet  devices (e.g. switch, laptop,  computer etc.) 
to  the  transmitter  and  to  the  receiver.  All  connected  devices  will 
work as if they are connected to the same network. 

Step 6.  

Optionally for RS-232*

 

extension: 

 

Connect  a  controller  unit  (e.g.  Touch  panel)  to  the  RS-232  on  TX 
with a null modem serial cable, 

 

Connect  a  controlled  device  (e.g.  Projector)  to  the  RS-232  on  RX 
with a regular serial cable. 

Step 7.  

Optionally for Infra-Red*

 

extension: 

 

Connect the supplied IR emitter to the IR OUT on TX or RX 

 

Connect the supplied IR detector to the IR IN on TX or RX 

Step 8.  

Optionally for USB HID* extension: 

 

Connect  at  least  one  USB  HID*  device  to  the  receiver.  Use  the 

keyboard  

 and the mouse 

 labeled USB-A connectors. 

 

Connect the transmitter to the computer via the USB-B cable.  

Step 9.  

Power on the devices using the standard IEC power cable 

* Mentioned devices are examples and can be connected to either TX or RX.
