Quick Start Guide
ALIF 2112TALIF Receiver
The VNC port
Uses the standard Ethernet port on the left side of the front panel and provides lower-bandwidth image video feeds for use across standard networks and the wider Internet.
The Infinity portUses either the Gigabit Ethernet port, or an optional fibre optic module, on the right side of the front panel and provides high resolution DVI-D image and audio feeds.
The  ALIF 2112T consists of two distinct  Û sections Ü 
						

							Infinity port configuration
•	 If	ALIF	TX	and	RX	units	are	directly	connected,	no	configuration	
action	is	required,	provided	that	they	have	their	factory	default	
settings in place. If the standard settings have been changed in a 
previous	installation,	you	merely	need	to	perform	a	factory	reset	
on each unit (see below).
•	 Where	ALIF	units	are	connected	via	network	links,	you	will	need	
to	specify	their	network	address	details.	This	can	be	done	by	
connecting	a	computer	system	temporarily	to	each	ALIF	unit	
and	using	the	Infinity	browser-based	configuration	utility.	This	
configuration	utility	also	allows	numerous	other	settings	to	be	
altered.
 Note: For basic one-to-one installations, the factory default 
addresses may be acceptable for immediate use within your 
network without the need to use a configuration utility or change 
their values: TX unit (169.254.1.33), RX unit (169.254.1.32). 
Manual factory reset
Use to return an ALIF 2112T unit to its default configuration.  
1	 Remove	power	from	the	ALIF	unit.
2 Locate the small hole on the front panel, next to the left-hand 
Ethernet socket.
3  Push a narrow implement (e.g. a straightened-out paper clip) into 
the hole and hold it in. Meanwhile, power on the unit. 
	 After	around	eight	seconds,	when	the	factory	reset	has	
completed, five of the front panel indicators will flash for a perio\
d 
of three seconds to indicate a successful reset operation.
4	 Remove	the	implement	and	then	re-apply	power	to	start	the	unit	
in its default configuration.

							Browser-based configuration utility
To	use	the	browser-based	configuration	utility,	link	a	computer	via	
a	network	switch	to	the	Infinity	port	of	the	ALIF	unit	using	a	Gigabit	
Ethernet	connection.	This	configuration	utility	allows	you	to	perform	
all of the following functions:
•	 View/edit	the	IP	network	address	and	netmask,
•	 Configure	separate	IP	network	addresses	for	video,	audio	and	USB,
•	 Configure	video	bandwidth	settings	(on	TX	units),
•	 View	the	current	video	output	(on	TX	units),
•	 Perform	a	firmware	upgrade,
•	 Perform	a	factory	reset.
To access the browser-based configuration utility
1	 Connect	the	Infinity	unit	and	a	computer	via	a	network.	
2	 Run	a	web	browser	on	your	computer	and	enter	the	IP	address	of	
the	Infinity	unit,	e.g.	http://169.254.1.33
 The default settings for the ALIF 2112T are as follows: 
•	TX unit - IP address: 169.254.1.33  Netmask: 255.255.255.0
 Notes: 
 Where the address of a unit is not known, perform a manual 
factory reset (see page 2) to restore the default address.
 Your computer must be on the same subnet as the ALIF 2112T 
unit.  
TX (transmitter) unit configuration
In	the	ALIF	system,	the	most	important	configuration	details	are	
dictated	by	RX	units.	Thus,	the	TX	unit	setup	is	concerned	only	with	
three main factors: 
•	 Its	IP	address,	
•	 The	data	streams	to	enable/disable,	and	
•	 Video	signal	optimization.	
In a Gigabit Ethernet network with sufficient bandwidth, changes 
to the Video Configuration	page	should	not	be	necessary.	If	
adjustments	are	required,	please	see	the	AdderLink	Infinity	2112T	
full user guide for details.    
For VNC port configuration, please see the rear page

Using the VNC viewer
1 On a network connected computer, locate and 
select the VNC viewer icon 
	A connection details dialogue	will	be	displayed:
Enter the ALIF 2112T address here and click OK 
If required, select the encryption mode
2	 In	the	‘Server:’	entry,	type	the	network	address	that	has	been	
configured for the VNC port of the ALIF 2112T unit.
3	 Click	the	OK	button.	The	viewer	window	may	open	straight	away	
or	the	system	may	require	user	authentication,	in	which	case	an	
authentication	dialogue	will	be	displayed:
4	 Enter	your	Username	and	Password	and	click	the	OK	button.	 
The viewer window should now open.   
VNC port configuration
To download the VNC Viewer
1 Connect the ALIF 2112T VNC port to an IP network where a 
suitable computer is available on the same subnet (please see 
the Installation chapter of the ALIF 2112T full user guide for 
connection details).
2 On that 
computer, open 
an internet 
browser and enter 
the default local 
IP	address	used	by	
the ALIF 2112T:
http://192.168.1.42
