Product Usage Instructions

Installation Requirements:
Ensure you have the following items before starting the installation process:

  • 1x Extender Set
  • 2x DC 12V Power Supply (US/EU/UK/AU Pins for Each)
  • 4x Mounting Brackets (With Screws)
  • 1x USB Type B Cable
  • 1x Quickstart Guide

Basic Wiring Diagrams:
Follow the wiring diagrams provided in the manual to connect the encoder and decoder units correctly based on your setup.

Encoder Setup:

  1. Connect HDMI source device to HDMI In port.
  2. Connect a USB type A to type B cable between the USB Host port and a desktop or laptop.
  3. Connect USB devices (e.g., keyboard, mouse) to the USB Device Link port.
  4. Connect to the DC 12V power adapter.

Decoder Setup:

  1. Connect HDMI display to HDMI Out port.
  2. Connect to the encoder or switch for streaming media input via LAN port.
  3. Connect USB devices (e.g., keyboard, mouse) to the USB Device Link port.
  4. Connect to the DC 12V power adapter.

DIP Switch Setting:
To route signal from an encoder to a decoder, toggle each switch of the DIP switch on the decoder to match the encoder’s settings. Reboot both units for changes to take effect.

FAQ

  • How many arrangements are available for DIP switch settings?
    There are up to 16 arrangements available for 16 encoders to be associated one-to-one with 16 decoders in the same network.
  • What do I do if I want to link the decoder to a different encoder?
    Change the decoder’s switch settings to match the new encoder’s settings, then reboot both units for changes to take effect.

IMPORTANT! Installation Requirements

  • Read through the Wiring and Connections section for important wiring guidelines before creating or choosing premade cables.
  • Visit the product page to download the latest firmware, document version, additional documentation, and configuration tools.

OVERVIEW

EX-100-KVM-IP Encoder (Front/Rear)

WyreStorm-EX-100-KVM-IP-IP-Based-KVM-Extender-fig-3

  • A LAN Connect to the decoder or the switch for streaming media output.
  • B Link LED LED lights when the encoder is paired with the decoder successfully.
  • C Power LED LED lights when the device is powered on.
  • D DC 12V Connect to the 12V power adapter provided.
  • E HDMI In Connect to an HDMI source device.
  • F USB Host Connect a USB type A to type B cable between the port and the USB port of a desktop or a laptop.
    The port is USB 2.0 compliant.
  • G Channel ID This DIP switch consists of four manual switches, which are used to route the encoder to decoder based on their positions. For more information, see “Using DIP Switch to Perform Routing” section.
    Note:
    • By default, each individual switch is in the up position.
    • For the DIP switches on both encoder and decoder, you must reboot the encoder and decoder for the switch settings to take effect.

EX-100-KVM-IP Decoder (Front/Rear)

  • A USB Device Connect to USB devices (e.g. keyboard, mouse, Udisk, etc.)
  • B Link LED LED lights when the encoder is paired with the decoder successfully.
  • C Power LED LED lights when the device is powered on.
  • D DC 12V Connect to the 12V power adapter provided.
  • E LAN Connect to the encoder or the switch for streaming media input.
  • F HDMI Out Connect to an HDMI display.
  • G Channel ID This DIP switch consists of four manual switches, which are used to route the encoder to decoder based on their positions. For more information, see “DIP Switch Setting” section.
    Note:
    • By default, each individual switch is in the up position.
    • For the DIP switches on both encoder and decoder, you must reboot the encoder and decoder for the switch settings to take effect.

DIP Switch Setting

To route the signal from an encoder to a decoder, toggle each individual switch of the DIP switch on decoder to the same position as that on encoder. If you want to link the decoder to a different encoder, change the decoder’s switch settings in the same way as the encoder’s switch is performed.
Note:

  1. The DIP switch setting is applicable to one-to-one routing between an encoder and a decoder only, i.e. up to 16 arrangements of DIP switch setting are available for 16 encoders to be associated one-to-one with 16 decoders in the same network.
  2. You must reboot the encoder and decoder for the switch setting changes to take effect.

Installation & Wiring

Note: Before installation and wiring, ensure the device is disconnected from the power source.

Bracket Installation
To install the mounting brackets onto a surface:

  1. Attach the mounting bracket to the enclosure using the screws provided in the package separately. The bracket is attached to the enclosure as shown.
  2. Repeat step 1 for the other side of the device.
  3. Attach the brackets to the surface you want to hold the unit against using the screws (not included in the package).

IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines

  • The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, 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 the use of shielded category cable to minimize signal noise and interference.
  • WyreStorm recommends using pre-terminated HDMI 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.

Troubleshooting

No or Poor Quality Picture (snow or noisy image)

  • Verify that power is being supplied to the transmitter and receiving device.
  • Verify that all HDMI and UTP connections are not loose and are functioning properly.
  • Verify that the UTP cable is properly terminated following EIA568B standard.
  • Verify that the output resolution of the source and display is supported by this extender.
    Troubleshooting Tips
    WyreStorm recommends using a cable tester or connecting the cable to other devices to verify functionality.
