Connecting a UDM-RX01 Receiver to the UDM Hub
1. Connect a standard Cat5/6 cable to the port marked UDM on the UDM Hub.
2. Connect the other end of the Cat5/6 cable to the “UDM Hub” port on the UDM-
RX01.
3. When the power is switched on 2 LEDs will be visible at the Hub port – Amber
(phantom power enabled) and Green (UDM-RX01 connected to Hub port).
Configuration Overview
Each UDM Hub can be configured for the correct network environment. It is also
possible to configure each Hub for the correct date and time. Configuration options
are available via the UDM Hub’s built-in Browser Interface.
Refer to the UDM-1604 Endeleo Multi-Format Distribution Hub Operation/Reference
Guide for information on input configuration, user control, passthrough mode, video
compensation, date/time configuration, creating scheduled events and scheduled
presets.
Setup
Perform the following for basic configuration from the Setup option. Click on Setup.
1.
Configure TCP/IP settings for Gateway/Subnet Mask and UDP Port if
required.
2. Define Hub Name if required. Click Update when complete.
3. Configure Date (dd-mm-yy format) and Time of Day (24 Hour time used). Click
Update when complete.
4. If you want the system to restore last connections after a system reboot - check
the "Restore on Power Up" tick box.
Note: The Date/Time displayed in the status bar of the UDM's web pages may need
to be refreshed. Click the Wednesday 01-Jun-05 14:45 link to refresh the date/time.
Network Configuration
Hubs can be configured for the network environment using the Setup page.
Note: The UDM-1604 does not support DHCP. Always configure a static IP Address.
1.
Specify the following network options for the Hub:
a. Hub IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway;
b. UDP Port (default = 2008)
c. Hub name (maximum of 30 characters).
2. Click on Update to save the new settings to the Hub (FIG. 2).
Note: All changes are immediate - once the IP address of the hub has been changed
redirect the web browser to the changed address.
Connecting to the UDM-1604
1. With the TCP/IP address configured, connect the UDM-1604 to your network
equipment (switch, hub, or serial port) - or if required use an Ethernet Cross-
over cable to connect your PC directly.
2. Enter the IP address into the address field within a browser window.
The default IP address of the UDM-1604 is
192.168.0.96 .
3. To connect to the UDM-1604, a password is required.
•The username should be left blank.
•The password is admin.
•The password is case sensitive.
4. On initial connection, the Status page is displayed.
Input Configuration
The options on the Inputs page allow you to specify the video types and audio
sources being presented to each input port and where appropriate renaming these.
1.
Select the Inputs link to invoke the Input Configuration page (FIG. 3).
2. Use the Type drop-down menus to select the appropriate Input Type for each
input).
•For VGA, Component, S-Video, and Composite inputs, only one connection is
possible per input port.
•If the Input Type is Composite, then the screen will refresh and enable the
administrator to name each of the 3 available composite sources separately.
3. Name the input Type(s) appropriately.
Configuring Audio Types For Inputs
Audio types (Analog L/R or S/PDIF) can be configured for each Input. To configure
audio for individual Inputs;
1.
Select the Inputs option from the available options at the top of the Status
page.
2. Select the appropriate Audio type Analog L/R or S/PDIF.
•If “Composite” is selected as the Input type, only one audio source will be
available.
•Ensure audio has been connected from the Input to the rear of the hub.
Ensure the connections are sound and fixed correctly.
Naming Ports
The Status option displays the currently connected sources (what source each
display is showing). Click the Status option. For each of the 16 ports, click the Port
Name hyperlink and define the port name. e.g. Reception, Lobby, etc.
Calibrating and Compensating Receive Units
Each Receive unit may need to be compensated for distance (Brightness,
Sharpness) and skew (R, G, B) depending on the length and type of UTP cable
(Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6) being used.
1.
Connect a known good source (input) to all ports. Click the Include All link on
the Status page - this will turn all 16 port lines orange from their default grey.)
2. On the top dark grey "Included" bar select a source to connect to by selecting a
Source Name from the drop down list. If you have a VGA source select this
source.
3. Click the Execute link and all displays will now display the selected source.
4. Depending on the calibration of the Receive Module, the image may appear
dim/bright, sharp/fuzzy or possibly not at all.
5. From the Status page click the Port Name hyperlink, and then click the
Advanced checkbox. Brightness, Sharpness and R, G and B skew delays can
be adjusted manually.
6. In this screen Sync handling capabilities can also be adjusted. Define as Auto
if you don't know but if no image appears you may need to select Sync on
Green.
7. Adjust Brightness until you can see a bright image and Sharpness to focus
the image correctly. Values can be changed by either using the Up and Down
buttons, or by typing the value (0-255) in the editable text box.
8. Then adjust Red, Green and Blue Skew settings (click Red link and the Blue
setting will appear, click Blue and the Green setting will appear and click
Green and the Red setting will reappear). Each radio button corresponds to a
4ns (nano-second) delay.
9. Repeat this display setup for each active screen connected to the UDM1604.
