LINK LED
The Link LEDs on the transmitter and receiver units have the following states:
- Off: When the Link LED is off, the device is either powered off or is in Sleep mode.
- Slow Blink: When the Link LED on the transmitter blinks slowly, the transmitter is in Scan mode, searching for a matching receiver. When the Link LED on the receiver blinks slowly, the receiver is in Beacon mode, searching for a matching transmitter.
- Fast Blink: When the Link LED blinks rapidly, the transmitter and receiver have accepted each other and established a network.
- On: When the Link LED is on steadily, the transmitter and receiver have established a valid audio/video connection and video should be visible on the connected display.
MULTIFUNCTION BUTTON
The Multifunction Buttons on the Transmitter and Receiver perform the following functions, depending on the adapter’s status and the way that the button is pressed.
- Wakeup Function: If the adapter is in Sleep mode, a momentary press of the Multifunction Button will wake the adapter and start normal operation.
- Factory Default Function: Press and hold the Multifunction Button for ten seconds to reset the adapter to the factory default settings.
- Next Network Function: If the Transmitter is awake and the Multifunction Button is pressed momentarily, the Transmitter will release its currently associated network and will join the next available network. If there is only one Receiver in the room, the Transmitter will eventually reestablish the original connection. A maximum of 10 Receivers can be supported in the same room.
- Next Source Function: If the Receiver is awake and the Multifunction Button is pressed momentarily, the Receiver will release its current video connection and will connect with the next available source.
