If you wish to control your MHUB 4K 4×3+1/8×6+2 from an external control system via a RS232 connection you will need to wire the included phoenix connector to the following specification.
Daisy chaining IR can allow you to connect the IR systems of 2 devices. This allows IR to pass from one device to another
This does not work for HDMI Mirrored ports.
a) The diagram below shows how you can link two HDA devices, such as an MHUBU86240 and an XTND4K40TPC using a MHUB + XTND Integration Kit
b) This second diagram shows how you would connect a HDA system to a 3RD PARTY extender or device such as a Harmony Remote by Daisy-chaining the IR transmitter from the 3RD party device and the IR receiver included with the MHUB system.

The mhub 2K’s IP address is pre-configured as 192.168.0.100, your computer will need to have it’s IPV4 range configured to be within the same range initially while you setup the matrix. To configure your IPV4 settings you will need to navigate to the following menu
->Network and sharing center
—>Ethernet
—–>Properties
——->Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
———>Properties

HDBaseT Product Distance Capability Notes
Products based on HDBaseT are based on one of two groups of electronic chips. The HDBaseT-Pro and HDBaseT-Lite groups. Each has different distances over which it can extend HDMI and this also depends on the type of cable used.
-
HDCP indictor light – shows whether a handshake between that display and source has been authenticated
-
Link indicator light – confirms the TV receiver is connected to the hub
-
Mode indicator light – if flashing all is correct
-
Power indicator light – Lit when the TV receiver is on
Our HDTV multiroom products use the physical properties of the twisted pair copper cables to transmit an uncompressed HDMI signal. It does not alter or compress the HDMI transmission into IP for example.
It cannot be linked in to an existing IP network. Our latest HDBaseT models however can transmit both HDMI and Internet traffic over a single Cat5/6 cable.
