Section 2 – “Functional Design” gives an overview of 

HD Link operation and configuration, while Section 4 – “Front Panel Display Configuration & 
Operation” and Section 5 – “Web Browser Interface Configuration & Operation” give specific 
instructions and guidelines. You can find output, power, and other specification information in 
Section 7 – “Specifications.”

troubleshooting guidelines.  

1.4  System Components 

1.4.1 

Transmitter and Receiver 

The HD Link system contains a transmitter (HDL950T) and receiver (HDL950R); both units have a 
front panel intuitive display and a Web browser interface. The front panels are identical, except that 
the receiver has a headphone jack to monitor the audio transmission. The front panel display shows 
the unit type (HDL950T or HDL950R) next to the HD Link logo. Connectors on the back panel of both 
units are similar, with female audio XLR connectors on the transmitter and male XLR connectors on 
the receiver.  

1.4.2 

Front Panel Interface 

On the front panel, you can 

●

 

Connect an Ethernet cable and a USB device (Section 3-3). 

●

 

Plug headphones into receiver to test reception (Section 3-3). 

●

 

Toggle between 

Operate

 and 

Standby

 mode (Section 4.1.1). 

●

 

Use the front panel display (Section 4) to 
•

 

Check status information. 

•

 

Configure some parameters. 

1.4.3 

Web Browser Interface 

You can use the Web browser interface (Section 5) to remotely configure HD Link parameters, as long 
as you first use the front panel display to configure the initial HD port and LAN port parameters on 
both the transmitter and receiver (Sections 4.1.5 and 4.2). The Web browser interface is similar to the 
front panel display, showing all the status that the digital display does.
