Using this DigitaLinx wall plate decoder is a breeze. First, connect it to your network using a CAT6A cable. Then, connect your HDMI devices to the HDMI output and use the USB ports to connect compatible devices. You can route the USB from either the IPEX6001U - WP wall plate encoder or a stand - alone IPEX - USB2 - H USB host device. To set it up, just use Liberty AV's NEW Arranger software. When using, make sure your network meets the 10Gbps Ethernet standards. Also, if you want to extend the signal up to 100 meters, use a CAT6A cable. For maintenance, keep the device clean and check the connections regularly. If you face any issues, refer to the user manual or contact customer support.
