6.7 Telnet Control
Before attempting to use Telnet control, please ensure that both theunit and the PC/Laptop are connected to the same active networks.
To access Telnet in Windows 7, click on the “Start” menu and type“cmd” in the search field, then press “Enter”. Under Windows XP go tothe “Start” menu, click on “Run”, type “cmd” then press “Enter”. Under
Mac OS X, go to “Go→Applications→Utilities→Terminal”. See below
for reference.

Once in the CLI (Command Line Interface) type “Telnet” followed by
the IP address of the unit and “23”, then hit “Enter”.

This will connect us to the unit we wish to control. Type “help” to list theavailable commands.
Notes:• Commands will not be executed unless followed by a carriage
return. Commands are not case-sensitive.
• If the IP address is changed then the IP address required for Telnet
access will also change accordingly.

86.8 WebGUI Control
6.8.1 Device Discovery APP
Please obtain the “Device Discovery” software from your authorized
dealer and save it in a directory where you can easily find it.
Connect the unit and your PC/Laptop to the same active networkand execute the “Device Discovery” software. Click on “Find Devices
on Network” and a list of devices connected to the local network
will show up indicating their current IP address. (The unit’s default IPaddress is 192.168.1.50)

By clicking on one of the listed devices you will be presented with thenetwork details of that particular device.

• IP Mode: If you choose, you can alter the static IP network settings
for the device, or switch the unit into DHCP mode to automaticallyobtain proper network settings from a local DHCP server. To switch
to DHCP mode, please select DHCP from the IP mode drop-down,then click “Save” followed by “Reboot”.
• WebGUI: Once you are satisfied with the network settings, you mayuse them to connect via Telnet or WebGUI. The network information
window provides a convenient link to launch the WebGUI directly.

96.8.2 WebGUI Control Page
All functions, including power, input selection, EDID management,HDCP management, port naming, Ethernet settings, and reset/
firmware functions, are presented on a single web page to allow
for simple and intuitive operation. The individual functions will beexplained in the following sections.

1. Power
The unit can be powered on or off (stand-by mode) from this tab.

2. RoutingThis tab allows for the selection of the input source. Four HDMI inputs
are available for selection.

10

3. EDID
This tab controls EDID management for the unit. All inputs can sharethe same assigned EDID, or each input can have a discrete EDID
assigned to it.
• ALL: Selecting the “ALL” mode will send the selected EDID to allinputs.
• APPOINT: Selecting the “APPOINT” mode allows for each input tohave a different EDID assigned to it.

The available EDID options are:
• SINK: EDID is passed from the currently connected display• 8/2D/PCM/720p: 720p@60Hz, 8-bit & LPCM 2.0• 8/2D/PCM/1080p: 1080p@60Hz, 8-bit & LPCM 2.0• 8/2D/PCM2/4K 3G: 4K@30Hz, 8-bit & LPCM 2.0• 8/2D/PCM2/4K Y420: 4K@60Hz (4:2:0), 8-bit & LPCM 2.0• 8/2D/PCM/4K 6G: 4K@60Hz (4:4:4), 8-bit & LPCM 2.0

4. HDCP Control
This tab allows for the HDCP mode to be switched between “Standard”
and “Apple” mode. “Apple” mode allows for the display of non-HDCP
required content from Apple devices on non-HDCP displays. Thissetting can be assigned individually to each input.

11

5. Naming
This tab allows for the renaming of the four HDMI input ports andthe HDMI output port. Please click the “SAVE” button to store thechanges.

6. Network SettingThis tab provides control over the unit’s network settings. The IP modecan be set to “DHCP” for automatic IP configuration, if your local
network supports it, or it can be placed in “Static” mode and the IPaddress, netmask and gateway can be defined manually. The HTTPand Telnet ports can also be changed from their defaults here.

7. Source Detect
When a live input source is connected one of the 4 HDMI inputs thecorresponding input port in this tab will display “ON”. If no source is
detected on that input, it will display “OFF”.

128. Status
This tab displays the currently selected HDMI input source and theunit’s firmware version as well as allowing for resetting or rebooting theunit.
• RESET: To perform a factory reset on the unit, please click the “RESET”button.
• REBOOT: To reboot the unit, please click “REBOOT” button.

9. Firmware Update
This tab provides a way to update the firmware of the unit.
• BROWSE: Click the “BROWSE” button to select the firmware update*.bin file which is located on your local PC.
• UPDATE: Click the “UPDATE” button to begin the firmware updateprocess.

10. HDMI Out Info
The HDMI output display’s detected information is listed here, including
type, manufacturer name, native resolution, color depth, 3D support,
4K support and audio format support.
