Operating the HD Video Wall Controller
Introduction
Standby Mode
The multi-color LED next to the Power button, on the front panel, indicates the power state of the HD Video Wall Controller. In standby mode, power is being supplied to the HD Video
Wall Controller but the unit is not turned on. This LED will be red and remain illuminated as long as the unit is in standby mode. If this LED does not illuminate, check the connection between the power receptacle on the HD Video Wall Controller and the AC outlet.
Red LED indicates that matrix is in standby mode
Turning on the HD Video Wall Controller
Once the HD Video Wall Controller is in standby mode, press the Power button to power on the unit. The Power button and the LED indicator will turn blue and both remain illuminated as long as the unit is powered on. To power off the HD Video Wall Controller and return to standby mode, press the Power button again.
Blue LED indicates that matrix is powered ON

Operating the HD Video Wall Controller
Introduction
Using IR Control
The HD Video Wall Controller can also be powered-ON or placed in standby mode by using the included IR remote control.
When the HD Video Wall Controller is in standby mode, press the
Power button to power-
ON the unit. To power-OFF the unit and place it in standby mode, press the Power button again. Always make sure to point the IR remote at the IR sensor on the front panel.
The IR remote control also provides full control of all features. See Accessing the Menu
for more information.
IR sensor
There may be situations where the IR sensor is blocked by a cabinet or other mounting device. In this case, an IR extender (Gefen part no. EXT-RMT-EXTIRN) can be connected to the IR Ext port on the back of the HD Video Wall Controller. The sensor on the IR extender behaves exactly like the sensor on the front panel of the matrix. Always point the
IR remote control unit in the direction of the IR sensor.

RS-232 and IP Configuration
IP / UDP Configuration
The HD Video Wall Controller supports IP-based control using Telnet, UDP, or the built-in
Web-based GUI. To set up IP control, the network settings for the HD Video Wall Controller must be configured using RS-232. The default network settings for the HD Video Wall
Controller are as follows:
Description
IP Address

1. Connect an RS-232 cable from the PC to the HD Video Wall Controller. Also make sure that an Ethernet cable is connected between the matrix and the network.
2. Launch a terminal emulation program (e.g. HyperTerminal) and use the RS-232 settings listed on the previous page.
NOTE: Depending upon the network, all related IP, Telnet, and
UDP settings will need to be assigned. Consult your network administrator to obtain the proper settings.
3. Set the IP address for the matrix using the #set_ipadd
command.
4. Set the subnet mask using the
