Operating A/V components with the Extender

The A/V components do not respond to commands from the Extender

•Check if the Busy LED blinks green when you send a command with the Control Panel. If the Busy LED does not blink, the Extender is not receiving commands from a Control Panel.

•Make sure that the Control Panel is configured correctly in Wizz.it Ex;

•Make sure that the Extender is configured correctly in the Configuration Tool and connected properly to the A/V components;

•Make sure that the switches on the Extender are set correctly.

There are duplicate Extender IDs

Using the Extender ID switch, assign a unique ID to each Extender in the same Wireless Network. Make sure the Control Panel is configured accordingly in Wizz.it Ex.

You can use up to 16 different Extenders in the same Wireless Network.

Resetting the Extender

This is only necessary when the Extender shows unusual behavior.

To perform a reset, unplug the power adapter from the Extender. Wait a few seconds, and plug it in again.
