Agility units are designed to be as flexible as possible and
this principle extends also to their configuration.
4.1 DIRECT LINKING
Where Agility local and remote units are directly linked
to each other, very little configuration action is required,
provided that they have their factory default settings in
place. If the standard settings have been changed in a
previous installation, you merely need to perform a factory
reset on each unit.
4.2 NETWORKED LINKING
Where Agility units are connected via networked links, you
can either configure them individually, or configure them
collectively using an Black Box iPath Manager:
Configuring networked Agility units individually
- You
need to specify the network addresses of the Agility
units so that they can locate each other. This is done
by running the
Browser-based configuration utility
on
a computer system linked to the same network as the
Agility units.
Configuring Agility units collectively
- The Black Box
iPath Manager allows you to configure, control and
coordinate any number of Agility local and remote units
from a single application.
Note: If you are using one or more Agility Zero U
Transmitter units within an installation managed by an
Black Box iPath Manager, the Black Box iPath Manager
must be running firmware version 4.7 or above.
IMPORTANT: When using Black Box iPATH to configure
Agility units, it is vital that all units that you wish
to locate and control are set to their factory default
settings. Otherwise they will not be located by the Black
Box iPath Manager. If necessary, perform a factory reset
on each Agility unit.

MANUAL FACTORY RESET
A factory reset returns the Agility Zero U Transmitter to
its default configuration. You can perform factory resets
using the
Browser-based configuration utility
or by using
this direct manual method.
TO PERFORM A MANUAL FACTORY RESET
1 Power on the Agility Zero U Transmitter.
2 Use a narrow implement (e.g. a straightened-out paper
clip) to press-and-hold the recessed reset button
on the front panel for roughly fifteen seconds, until
the indicators turn
blue
(Note: alternating red/green
indications will occur during the fifteen second period
while the button is still pressed).
3 Release the reset switch.
The indicators will remain
blue
for a short while (less
than ten seconds) while the Agility Zero U Transmitter
configures itself and should then change to
green
if all
connections are correct; or
orange
if one or more of the
video, USB and/or network links are missing.
Use a straight
-
ened-out paper
clip to press
the reset button
for roughly 5
seconds
