To achieve maximum distance and performance, use 24 AWG solid wire Cat5e/6 or 23 AWG solid wire Cat6a cable.
Installation 1. Make sure that the HDMI and RS-232 serial source is powered off. 2. Connect the HDMI source to the HDMI Input port on the local transmitter unit. 3. Connect the included 3.5 mm Male-to-DB9 female adapter cable to the RS-232 port on the local transmitter unit, then connect the computer to the adapter. 4. Connect the IR-IN cable to the IR-IN port on the local transmitter unit.

Go to the Setup drop-down menu and select the Serial Port option. 2. Select the COM port that is being used and update the remaining settings: Baud Rate (57600), Data (8 bit), Parity (none), Stop (1 bit), Flow Control (none). 3. Next, you will need to configure your software to allow input control.
Troubleshooting If you are unable to obtain an acceptable image after following these installation instructions, try the following troubleshooting tips: 1. Are the external power supplies that came with the product connected and plugged into a working power source? For the product to function properly, it must be connected to and receiving power from the external power supply. 2. Was the power to the connected devices turned off prior to installation? If not, restart them. 3.
Troubleshooting 7. Check your cabling for any damages that may have occurred during installation. If a cable connector is loosened from being pulled through ceilings/ walls or the cable jacket is damaged causing the wiring to be exposed, you will not be able to achieve maximum performance. 8. Are the transmitter, transceiver, and/or receiver located in an area that exposes them to higher temperatures? If the product is overheated, it will not function properly. 9.
