Rebooting and factory resetting the extender
If the power to your HMX extender needs to be turned off, then turned back on again, a reboot can
be performed via the extender System Configuration utility. Also, if a factory reset is needed and
does not have to be manually performed from the extender front panel, the reset may be done in
the utility as well.
To perform a standard reboot on your extender:
Select Reboot on the left side of the page, then click Reboot on the displayed page.
To factory reset and reboot your extender:
1. Select
Reboot
on the left side of the page, then select the Perform Factory Reset checkbox.
2. Click the Reboot button at the bottom of the page.
Advanced Transmitter Configuration
Although basic configuration of your transmitter should already be complete, advanced procedures
are available via the System Configuration Utility that allow you to further customize your
transmitter video, USB and security settings. If you are using an HMX 6210T transmitter within your
extender system, additional unique procedures must also be performed to utilize the VNC port on
the front panel.
NOTE:
Log in to the transmitter System Configuration utility before completing the following procedures.
All steps begin on the main System Configuration page.
Configuring transmitter video
Options are available that allow you to control and configure the video transmitting across the HMX
extender system.
NOTE: When using an HMX extender system with dual-head extenders linked via two Gigabit links with
sufficient bandwidth available, there may be no need to alter the default settings on the Video Configuration
page of the System Configuration utility.
Details about the specific settings are provided in the next procedure, but the following best
practices are recommended:
• If moving video images are shown frequently on an HMX 6210T transmitter, lower the Frame
skipping percentage and reduce the color depth.
