Unit Name
Name details that you can alter to distinguish this unit from all others. The name entered here will be read by IPATH units (if used) for administration
purposes.
Unit Description
Allows you to optionally add a description of the unit, such as its location. Useful when many Agility units are being used.
System port
This section determines the IP Address, Netmask and Gateway details for the Gigabit Ethernet port located on the front panel. The default IP ad-
dress is 169.254.1.33 which is the zero config IP address that allows Agility Zero U unit to work immediately in point-to-point mode. You are recom
-
mended to change this to an appropriate address in the private IP range 192.168.xxx.xxx
The default netmask is 255.255.0.0. If you change the IP address to the private range, you are recommended to change this to 255.255.255.0 The
default gateway address is 0.0.0.0
Force Multicast
By default, the Agility Zero U unit will use unicast transmission when only a single RX is connected. This would then be upgraded to multicast when
one or more other RX units are added. By ticking this option, the Agility Zero U unit will always use multicast. This option should be ticked for most
installations as it provides the most efficient way to deliver video and audio to multiple destinations.
Enable options
These checkboxes allow you to determine which peripheral options will be used: Video, digital audio and USB.
• When the
Enable Audio-1
option is checked, the Agility Zero U arranges a bi-directional audio stream with the host computer via the USB connec-
tion.
• When the
Enable Audio-2
option is checked, the EDID definition of the DisplayPort or HDMI connection will be altered to permit a uni-directional
audio stream via the video output. This allows the use of embedded audio, even when the video display itself does not support audio.
Note: It is possible for both options to be enabled at the same time without issue.
Identify unit
When clicked, these buttons cause the top indicators to flash to assist with identifying the Agility Zero U unit within a rack.
• The Identify Unit (short) button flashes the indicators for five seconds.
• The Identify Unit (long) button flashes the indicators for one hour but can be overridden by clicking the Identify Unit (short) button.
Target Multicast Configuration
This option allows you to configure an IP address to which this transmitter can send multicast video and audio data, and from which multiple re
-
ceivers can tap into it.
Note: The multicast addresses for each service endpoint
must
be unique across the whole Agility installation.
