Installation

Front

RESET Button: Press and hold this button for 10 seconds when the unit is powered-on until the STATUS LED starts flashing to restore the default settings.
POWER LED: Indicates power.
STATUS LED: This will flash yellow/green every second until the unit boots up completely and control LAN is ready, then it will stay on.

Rear

DC 12V: Connect the 12VDC 1A PSU to an AC wall outlet and securely connector to the unit.
VIDEO LAN (PoE): Connect to the same Network Switch where all Encoders and Decoders are connected using a single RJ-45 Cat.6 or above cable. The unit can be powered via PoE if the connected Switch has this feature.
CONTROL LAN: TCP/IP control network port.
NORMAL/MCU: DIP Switch to control RS-232 port. NORMAL: the RS-232 port is used for serial port commands control; MCU: the RS-232 port is used for MCU software upgrade.
RS-232: phoenix block 3-way connection for the pass-through transmission of RS-232 commands.
6-Pin Phoenix Connector: 4 channel I/O level outputs, 1 channel ground, 1 channel power output.
IO LEVEL: DIP Switch to control I/O level output and Voltage out; switch to left for 5V I/O level out, switch to right for 12V I/O level out.
IR IN: Connect the supplied IR Receiver cable for 12V IR signal reception.

Please Note:

As default the IP mode of the CONTROL LAN port is DHCP, the PC connected needs to be set to “Obtain an IP address automatically” mode and an optional DHCP server (for example a network router) is recommended in the system.
If there is no DHCP server in the system, 192.168.0.225 will be used as the IP address of the CONTROL LAN port. Set the IP address of the PC in the same network segment (for example 192.168.0.88).

Operation

Web GUI

This Controller can be managed via the built-in Web GUI.
Please follow the below steps:
Input the Controller’s default IP address (192.168.0.225) or the URL ( http://controller.local) into the Web browser address bar on the PC to enter the Web GUI login interface:
Select the default username (admin) and password (1234) on the above login interface. Then, click on Log In to enter the Web GUI interface. For the first time, you need to setup the project, as shown in the following picture:
Click on Close button to load an existing project in the web page directly or click on Next button to go to the next step.
On this interface, you need to set the IP mode of Video LAN.
Mode 1: Automatically managed by Controller Box
Click on Next button and wait for the completion to enter the interface as shown below:
Select Automatically add Encoders and Decoders to project and click on Scan button to enter the Project page. All the connected devices will be listed in the Current Devices list.
Then click on Stop Scan & Auto Assign to stop the search.
Selecting List all discovered Encoders and Decoders and clicking on Scan allow the user to enter in the Project page. All the connected devices will be listed in the Unassigned Devices list.
Click on Stop Scan to stop search. Then the Add All and Add buttons behind Unassigned Encoders and Unassigned Decoders will become operable as shown below.
Click on the Add button behind each unregistered Encoder or Decoder to add the device to the project one by one, or click on the Add All button to add all Encoders or
Decoders to the project.
Encoders and Decoders that have been added to the project will appear in the Current Devices list as shown below.
Mode 2: DHCP mode
Please follow the same steps shown in Mode 1 operation below.

Mode 3: Static IP mode by manual settings.

Select Static IP mode by manual settings on the interface shown below and click on Next.
Manually set the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway of the Video LAN port.
Note: It’s strongly recommended to use different IP network domain from Control LAN port.
Set the IP address range of Encoders and Decoders and click on the Next button.
The rest of the steps are the same as the Mode 1 operation.
Preview Page
On this page is possible to see the preview of the Encoder/Decoder by clicking on the dropdown lists.

Matrix Control Page

Encoders: Display all the connected Encoders. The text in the figure is the name of the device. Decoders: Display all the connected Decoders. The text on the first line is the name of the Decoder and the text on the second line refers to the Encoder where the signal resource comes from.
If an Encoder shows “No Signal”, it means that the Encoder cannot be dragged. If there is an image on an Encoder, it means that the Encoder can be dragged. As shown in the figure above, if an Encoder is dragged to the place where the red arrow points to, all Decoders will share the same signal resource from this Encoder; if an Encoder is dragged to the place where the blue arrow points to, only the indicated Decoder can receive signals from this Encoder.
