CONNECTING THE EXTENDER FOR HDMI 1.3 OVER CAT5 WITH ETHERNET 1. Connect the Hi-Def source to the Sender Unit using the included HDMI cable. 2. Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDTV display to the Receiver Unit. 3. Connect the Ethernet device/router to the Ethernet input port on the Sender unit using a CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable. Connect the Ethernet output port on the Receiver Unit to the remote device/router with a CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable. 4.
DIP SWITCHES DIP Switch Location On the bottom of the Extender for HDMI 1.3 with Ethernet Receiver unit there are four (4) DIP switches. The DIP switches allow advanced EDID management of the Extender for HDMI 1.3 with Ethernet which may be necessary when troubleshooting or using different brands of hardware. The DIP switches allow control over the EDID and the HPD (Hot Plug Detect) status. Receiver Unit (bottom) DIP Switch Bank NOTE: DIP switch 4 is not used.
DIP SWITCH SETTINGS DIP 1 - EDID Mode ON (default) - External EDID Mode • DDC and HPD are passed through. Both the connection status and the full A/V capabilities of the display. The HPD status will also be detected by the source device. OFF - Internal EDID Mode • Local EDID is used instead of the EDID from the display device. EDID features newer than HDMI 1.3 are removed when the display is read. This provides a general EDID which is compatible with more displays.

TERMINOLOGY CAT-5/CAT5e Category 5 cable, commonly known as Cat 5, is an unshielded twisted pair type cable designed for high signal integrity. The actual standard defines specific electrical properties of the wire, but it is mostly known as being rated for its Ethernet capability of 100 Mbit/s. Its specific standard designation is EIA/TIA-568. Cat 5 cable typically has 3 twists per inch of each twisted pair of 24 gauge copper wires within the cable.
