Warning!
Do not connect the 7700 Series unit to a power source until all the other connections have been made.
Once the video server is connected to a power source, its status LED light will flash red for a few seconds. The
unit is ready for operation as soon as the light turns steady yellow.
If the network connection is in order, the yellow "network connection" LED will also light up. The flashing orange
"data transmission" LED indicates data traffic on the network.
Setup using terminal software
Data terminal
You can use a data terminal software, such as HyperTerminal, which comes with Windows, to configure 7700
Series units.
Note
Information on installing and using HyperTerminal can be found in the user guides or online help for
Microsoft Windows.
– Before working with the terminal program, disconnect the 7700 Series unit from the data network.
– Connect the 5-block terminal block on the 7700 Series unit to an available serial port on your computer. You
will need a cable that is stripped on one end and terminates with a DB9 serial connector on the other. See
the Appendix for a pin-correspondence table between the terminal block and DB9 connector.
Configuring the terminal
To establish communication between the terminal program and the 7700 Series unit, the transmission
parameters must be correctly defined. Set the following values in the terminal program:
• 19,200 bps
• 8 data bits
• No parity check
• 1 stop bit
• No protocol
Command entry
After the connection has been established, you must log on to the 7700 Series unit. You can then access the
main menu. You can call up additional submenus and functions using the on-screen commands.
• If necessary, turn off the local echo so that entered values are not repeated on the screen display.
• Enter only one command at a time.
• After entering a value (such as an IP address), re-check the entry before pressing the Enter key to send the
data to the 7700 Series unit.
Assigning an IP address
To operate the 7700 Series unit on your network, you must assign it an IP address that is recognized by the
network.
The following default address has been pre-set at the factory:
Transmitter: 192.168.0.1
Receiver: 192.168.0.2
