4K IP Streaming Extender

 

5. Operation of IPA Manager 

5.1 General Information 

The IPA Manager is a demonstration control software used to configure and control 
signal extension, routing and switching between   MP-IP300TR units. 

The IPA Manager includes Web GUI version and Windows PC version. 

The control PC can be connected to the ETHERNET port of any device or to any RJ45 
port of the 10GbE switch except the management/console port of the switch which is 
not part of the network. 

Before proceeding, make sure all the units are powered ON. Then ensure that the IP 
addresses of PC and all the units are on the same local area network (LAN).   

Start the application by double clicking on

 IPA Manager.exe

 file. If you receive a pop-

up asking for network access confirmation, make sure that both Private and Public 
networks are allowed.
