1. Introduction

The Ethernet and USB to HDMI Converter allows you to use a TV as your

laptop/desktops primary display. Simply connect the TV to the device and

then plug the device into the Ethernet network and your TV will instantly

become the PC’s principal display. This Converter also has two USB ports, for

a mouse and keyboard, allowing you to control any networked computer .

Aside from enabling a TV to be your primary PC display this device also

removes the problem of running expensive audio and video cabling over

long distances, all that is needed is an Ethernet network.

Because everyone can access a TV, they gain the ability to use a computer

without being physically connected to it, so they can perform PC tasks like

browsing the internet, use Microsoft Ofﬁce and access any music or movies

you may have on iTunes, a truly easy and cost effective solution for sharing

AV among computers.

① ② ③ ④ ⑤

① USB Port: These ports are the converter's USB Hub that allows you

to connect a USB Hard Drive, USB web camera, Keyboard or Mouse.

Note:

•These two USB ports cannot be connected to a USB Hub.

Doing so will trigger the system to detect the external USB Hub and

thereby cause a system failure.

•Before removing a USB device, you must follow the USB device's

hardware removal procedure when removing the device. Failure to

do so will cause the system to crash.

② Mini USB IN: This port supports extension or mirror of video (via USB cable)

to your HDMI display, including both video and audio output signals.

③ Ethernet IN: This slot lets you connect a RJ-45 CAT5 cable to home IP

router or PC Ethernet port.

•When connected to a PC Ethernet port, the user needs to

manually set the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to “169.254.10.1”.

•If connected to an IP router, the system will automatically be

connected without the user setting up its Internet Protocol.

④ Input connection switch: This switch allows you to select the PC source

either via Mini USB port or through Ethernet port.

⑤ Reset IP: This button is only pressed to reset the Ethernet IP address when

the system's IP address is incorrect.

before connecting the adaptor to an AC outlet.

② HDMI OUT: The display output port of the converter that is only compatible

with an HDMI display.

③ EDID control switch: The default setting of this switch is on.

Leave as is if the display is working properly. If the display has a built-in

EDID, the screen will show the display’s resolution, and users can choose

the desired screen resolution(available in extended mode). When

switched off, the screen will show internal EDID, and users can select the

screen resolution from the provided resolutions.

NOTE:

When switching from on to off, users need to go to “Launch USB Server

”to disconnect DisplayLink USB to HDMI and reconnect it again. If not,

the system will remain on. However, from off to on, the user does not

need to reconnect the DisplayLink USB to HDMI device,

the system will automatically switch to on mode.(See section 9 for details)

④ LINK LED Indicator: When input switches to MINI USB mode the blue LED

will turn on when the source is connected. When input is switched to

Ethernet a blinking blue LED means its trying to connect.

⑤ Power LED Indicator: Red LED will switch on when the power is connected

to the converter.
