automatically assign itself an APIPA address from the
169.254.xxx.xxx range. When the unit is set to DHCP mode it will
attempt to automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.
When the IP mode is set to static IP, you can manually set the IP
address, netmask and gateway address. Click the “Apply” button to
save changes made to the IP Mode or Configuration.
Note: The default network setting for this unit is “Auto IP”.

Find Your Device:
Selecting “Show Me” will cause the unit to
immediately begin flashing the LEDs on the front of the unit to make
it easy to find. Selecting “Hide Me” returns the LEDs to their normal
behavior. This setting is useful when troubleshooting an installation
with a large number of units in a rack.
Casting Mode
Allows for the selection of the network broadcast mode supported by the
Receiver. Click the “Apply” button to save changes made to the broadcast
mode.
Note: Receivers must be set to the same mode as the Transmitter in order to
receive video.
-
Multicast:
This mode sends a single video stream that can be viewed
simultaneously by multiple receivers without increasing bandwidth
usage. This mode is ideal for video wall or matrixing scenarios.
Multicast mode requires a network switch with IGMP snooping
enabled.
Note: The 3 port network switch built into the Receiver units supports
IGMP snooping and may be used to distribute a multicast stream.
-
Unicast:
This mode uses a discrete video stream for every connected
Receiver and is ideal for simple, point-to-point, streaming setups. This
mode uses considerably more bandwidth than Unicast mode when
multiple Receivers are being used, however it does not require a
network switch that supports IGMP snooping.
