Installation

Make sure all devices are turned off before beginning installation.

Hardware Installation

1. Connect an HDMI cable from the video source device (i.e. computer,

game console, PVR/DVR) to the “In” HDMI connector on the Transmitter

unit.

2. OPTIONAL: If also transmitting IR control over Cat5, connect the IR

emitter and receiver probes to the corresponding connectors on the

Transmitter unit. The emitter should be placed near the IR sensor on the

video source device. The receiver should be placed in a visible location

so as to be accessible to the IR remote control for the video source

device.

3. OPTIONAL: If also transmitting RS232 signals over Cat5, connect the

transmitting RS232 device to the “RS232” connector on the Transmitting

unit using a DB9 cable.

4. Connect an RJ45 terminated Cat5 Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector

on the Transmitter unit.

If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category 5

unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cabling to connect the Host Unit

to the Remote Unit’s location, and that each end is terminated with a

RJ45 connector. The cabling should not go through any networking

equipment (i.e. router, switch).

If you are using premises cabling, ensure that the Category 5 unshielded

twisted pair (UTP) network cabling between the Host Unit and the

Remote Unit has been properly terminated in a wall outlet in each

location and there is a patch cable long enough to connect the Remote

Unit and the Host Unit to their respective outlets. The cabling should not

go through any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).

5. Connect the other end of the Cat5 cable run to the RJ45 connector on

the Receiver unit.

6. Connect an HDMI cable from the “Out” HDMI connector on the Receiver

unit the HDMI input connector on the display device (i.e. monitor, HDTV).

7. If Step 2 previously performed, connect and position the IR emitter/

receiver probes appropriately from the Receiver unit.

8. If Step 3 previously performed, connect a male DB9 serial cable from the

Receiver unit to the RS232 serial device. The male pinout on the DB9

connector is identical to that of the pinout on the male cable plugged into

the Transmitter unit.

9. Turn the extender units on by plugging in the power adapters. The

power LED should light up and stay solid. The Link LED on the RJ45

connector will light up to indicate a proper connection.

10. Turn on the display device and make sure it’s set to the HDMI input.

11. Turn on video source device. The video output should appear on the

display on the Receiver unit.

Driver Installation

No driver or software installation is required.
