Quick Start Guide

Connecting Power
Zio
endpoint devices can receive power from either an external, 12V/2.5A
power supply, or Power over Ethernet (PoE+, if present) from a PoE+
network switch or stand-alone PoE+ injector.
●
If the device does not receive PoE+:
Connect the
DC 12V
power
input on the device to an AC power source, using the supplied
AD-to-DC power adapter or PDU400-12 Power Distribution Unit; or
●
If the device receives PoE+:
You need not connect anything to
this port. However, if a local power source is available, you can
connect the device to it to provide a backup power source should
PoE+ become unavailable. This will not damage the device.
After a brief power-up sequence, the front-panel
POWER LED
lights solid
green
to indicate that the device is receiving power. On the rear panel,
the
ACT and 1G LEDs
flash or light solid
amber
to indicate network
activity and link status.
Your
Zio
endpoint devices are now operational.
To begin using the
Zio
Coordinator GUI, open a web browser window. Then,
enter the following URL into the address bar:
<nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn>:8080/zio
where
<nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn>
is the IP address of a
Zio
device.
Tip
Turn on your source devices and displays before connecting
the
Zio
endpoint devices to power.
Note
PoE+ is the default power source.
If PoE+ becomes unavailable, the
Zio
endpoint device will
switch to local DC power and reboot. When PoE+ becomes
available again, the device will switch back to PoE+
seamlessly (without a reboot).

Zio
Coordinator GUI
Example
If the device IP address is 192.168.1.200, enter:
192.168.1.200:8080/zio

Ambient Heat
Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35 °C (95 °F). Do not
install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Cables and Connections
●
Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
●
For best performance and to minimize cable clutter, use Category 2
(High-Speed) HDMI cables that are only as long as necessary to
connect two devices.
Do not exceed the maximum recommended cable length of 9
feet (2.74 meters).
●
For network connections:
◆
At a minimum, use high-quality, Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables.
If you
plan to use Power over Ethernet (PoE+), you must use Cat
6a Screened Shielded Twisted Pair (SSTP) cable.
◆
Do not use crossover cables.
◆
Ensure that the cables are properly terminated and free of
damage.
●
Ensure that the cables are securely connected.
Important
Do not stack multiple
Zio
devices on top of one
another.
Use the optional mounting cage.
V I D E O
