Chapter 4: Configuration

4. Configuration

4.1 Basic Configuration

The rotary switch on each device decides the channel of the device when booting.

For a receiver or receivers to connect to a transmitter, they must be on the same channel. Each transmitter should be on a separate switch setting and the receivers should be on the same switch setting as the desired transmitter. After you change the switch setting, you must reboot the device for the changes to take effect.

4.2 Advanced Configuration

Advanced configuration is not needed but is available.

You can access devices through the serial interface or Telnet for advanced configuration of network settings.

A serial/Telnet client is needed. To see the IP address of a receiver:

Connect a receiver to a monitor and power on. Device information, including the IP address, will be in the lower right corner. Reset the receiver if needed. If the receiver is set to DHCP IP mode, a network connection is required.
