HHD2646 © Copyright 2016 Hall Research, Inc.3.0 Installation3.1 ConfigurationPoint-to-pointWhen connecting point-to-point, there is no need for any IP configuration forthe TX and RX. The only requirement is that the TX and RX need to be in thesame group by having the DIP-switch positions same on both devices.Point-to-Many (Splitter) and Many-to-Many (Matrix)For simple installations where video routing is permanent (static) and you don’texpect to switch the video connections after installation, simply use the dipswitches to set the multicast group numbers on each device. Remember, eachSender must have a unique group number. All Receivers with same groupnumber as a Sender will show the video from that Sender (also RS-232 and IRare routed between them). To use a broadcast TV analogy, Multicast Groupnumbers are like TV channel numbers. Only one station can broadcast on anyparticular channel, but many Receivers can be tuned to that channel.As shipped, each device is configured for DHCP. So once powered up, each boxgets its IP address from the DHCP server on the network. You can change the IPaddresses to Static and assign a different address if you desire. To do so, firstconnect a Windows™ PC or laptop to the network and run the free DVMManager Tool.Hardware setup• Connect source(s) to the HDMI input of the Senders(s).• Connect the HDMI loop output of the Sender to a local HDMI display ifdesired.• Connect the Sender(s) to the switch/router with CAT5e/6 cables.NOTE A Gigabit Router or Switch with DHCP server is recommended and whenthere are more than one Sender on the network in a matrix configuration(multipoint-to-multipoint) it is required that the Ethernet Switch support:Gigabit Ethernet, DHCP Server, and IGMP. Hall Research recommendsusing the Cisco SG300 Series of gigabit Ethernet Switches.Figure 3.1 - Example of Point-to-Point
