How to use and trouble shoot Simplified MFG Extenders Typical Extender use At the TX end: Is everything connected (Cat, HDMI, Power etc)? Is the HDMI cable in the HDMI input of the TX? We often use a loop out, make sure the input is not in this port. What are the lights where the Cat cable plugs into doing? Is the Green Lit Solid? Yes, good! Flashing or off the category cable is poor.
