Front Panel

STATUS LED: Indicates device status.

USB DEVICES: USB 2.0 Type-A ports for RX mode (USB Devices).

USB HOST: USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports for TX mode (USB Host).

Rear Panel

1. POWER LED: On: Device is powered on. Blinking: Device is booting. Off: Device is powered off.
2. STATUS LED:
   • In TX mode (USB Host): On: Device is powered on. Blinking slowly: Device is being upgraded. Blinking quickly: 'Find me' function is activated.
   • In RX mode (USB Devices): On: Connected to a network and associated with a valid USB transmitter. Blinking: Connected to a network but associated with an invalid USB transmitter. Blinking slowly: Device is being upgraded. Blinking quickly: 'Find me' function is activated through Telnet API. Off: Not connected to a network or associated with a USB transmitter.
3. USB DEVICES: In TX mode (USB Host): USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports. In RX mode (USB Devices): USB 2.0 Type-A ports. Connect USB peripherals for USB expansion. Note: In TX mode (USB Host), acts as a local USB hub. Powered by a power adapter: Ports share 3A total current. Powered by PoE: Ports share 2.5A total current.
4. 12V: Connect to a DC 12V power adapter. Recommended adapter: DC 12V 2A or higher. Insufficient power may occur with lower specifications under maximum load.
5. RESET: Press and hold for 5+ seconds to reboot and restore factory settings. Note: Restoring factory settings will erase custom data. Use with caution.
6. LAN (POE): Connect to a Gigabit Ethernet switch for IP stream transmission and control. Default IP mode is DHCP. Note: 1. If both Ethernet ports are connected, the first port to connect is used. 2. Supports PoE+ to eliminate the need for a power outlet.
7. OPTICAL: Connect to a network switch using a single-mode or multimode SFP module (not included). Transmission distance depends on the SFP module used.
8. USB HOST: USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-B port. Connect to a USB host device.
9. HOST/DEVICES DIP switch: Toggle between TX and RX modes. Default setting: TX.

Wiring and Connections

WyreStorm recommends that all wiring for the installation is run and terminated prior to making connections to the switcher. Read through this section in its entirety before running or terminating any wires to ensure proper operation and to avoid damaging the equipment.

IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines

The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable transmitters, kinks in cables, and electrical or environmental interference will have an adverse effect on signal transmission which may limit performance. Steps should be taken to minimize or remove these factors completely during installation for best results.

WyreStorm recommends using pre-terminated USB and Ethernet cables due to the complexity of these connector types. Using pre-terminated cables will ensure that these connections are accurate and will not interfere with the performance of the product.
