INTRODUCTION  
Congratulations on your purchase of the 4x1 DisplayPort Switcher. Your complete  
satisfaction is very important to us.  
Gefen  
Gefen delivers innovative and progressive computer and electronics  
add-on solutions that harness integration, extension, distribution, and conversion  
technologies. Gefen’s reliable plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform  
computer systems, professional audio/video environments, and HDTV systems  
of all sizes with hard-working solutions that are easy to install and simple to

The Gefen 4x1 DisplayPort Switcher  
Easily switch between four computers using DisplayPort with the 4x1 DisplayPort  
Switcher.  
The rack-mountable 4x1 DisplayPort Switcher offers an economical solution for  
switching between four different computers to one display location at the touch of  
a button.  
Eliminating the need to purchase many displays in a studio or professional en-  
vironment, this versatile solution saves money, supports both Mac and PC-type  
computers, and offers uncluttered and increased desktop space.  
This Switcher can be controlled using front panel discrete switching, the included  
IR Remote control, IP control, or the RS-232 port for switching automation.  
The 4x1 DisplayPort Switcher is compatible with all operating systems using  
DisplayPort.  
How It Works  
Connect the four included 6-foot DisplayPort cables between the computers and  
the Switcher inputs. Connect the Switcher output to the monitor using a Display-  
Port cable. Connect the included 5V DC locking power supply to the 4x1 Switcher  
and connect the AC power cord to an available electrical outlet. The currently  
selected source will be displayed.

IR REMOTE CONTROL UNIT  
Installing the RMT-4IR Battery  
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the IR Remote Control Unit.  
2. Insert the included battery into the open battery slot. The positive (+) side of  
the battery should be facing up.  
3. Replace the battery cover.  
The Remote Control unit ships with two batteries. One battery is required for  
operation and the other battery is a spare.

WARNING: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an  
incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the  
instructions.

IR REMOTE CONTROL UNIT  
How to Resolve IR Code Conicts  
In the event that IR commands from other remote controls interfere with the  
supplied IR Remote Control unit, changing the IR Remote Control’s IR channel  
will x the problem. The IR Remote Control unit has a bank of DIP switches used  
for setting the IR channel. The DIP switch bank is located underneath the battery  
cover.

opened rear battery  
compartment of the IR  
remote showing the

bank between the  
battery chambers.

It is important that the IR channel on the Remote Control unit, matches the IR  
channel set on the 4x1 DisplayPort Switcher. For example, if both DIP switches  
on the IR Remote Control unit are set to IR channel 0 (both DIP switches down),  
then the 4x1 DisplayPort Switcher must also be set to IR channel 0. See page  
21 on how to change the IR channel on the 4x1 DisplayPort Switcher.

TELNET CONTROL  
The Gefen 4x1 DisplayPort Switcher supports Telnet for controlling the Switcher  
over a network. To access this feature, an IP address, subnet, gateway, and port  
numbers need to be set correctly. Consult the network administrator to obtain the  
proper IP address and settings for this product to properly communicate with the  
Switcher over a network.  
The Telnet control must be congured using RS-232 commands. Once properly  
congured, enter the IP address that was assigned to the Switcher using a  
terminal program or other Telnet client.  
1. Connect the Switcher to a computer using RS-232.  
2. Use a terminal emulation program (e.g. HyperTerminal, PuTTY, Indigo,  
etc.) to connect to the Switcher. See page 14 for information on RS-232  
conguration.  
IMPORTANT: When using HyperTerminal under Windows XP,  
the LF (line feed) character option must be enabled.  
3. Apply power to the Switcher. Information similar to the following will be  
displayed in the terminal window:  
===================================================  
GEFEN  
DISPLAY PORT 441  
FW version: 1.3  
===================================================  
4. Use the #ipcongcommand to display the current IP settings. The factory  
(default) settings are displayed below:  
#ipcong

Telnet password on login is set to ON  
Note that the Telnet password is set to ON. A user name and password can  
be set for additional security. This option can also be disabled. See page 20  
for details.

TELNET CONTROL  
5. Use the #sipaddcommand to set the IP address for the Control System.  
Check with a network administrator to obtain an available address, if  
necessary. DHCP is not supported by this Switcher.  
#sipadd 192.168.2.234  
New IP set to: 192.168.2.234  
After setting the IP address, power-cycle the Switcher for the changes to  
take effect.  
IMPORTANT: All IP conguration changes will require the  
Switcher to be power-cycled.  
6
Specify the IP of the Control System in the Telnet client. In this example, the  
IP address is set to 192.168.2.234. Once connected to the Control System,  
the Telnet client will display a screen similar to the following:  
----------- Welcome to DP441 Telnet Server ----------  
You are user number 1 of 3 allowed.  
You will be disconnected after 10 minutes of inactivity.  
Login: Admin  
Password: Admin  
Type Cmd:  
By default, the user name and password options are enabled by use of  
the #use_telnet_passcommand (see page 20). Once this command  
is enabled, the Switcher will prompt for both the user name and password.  
The password cannot be disabled from the login process. Once logged in,  
the Type Cmdprompt will be displayed.  
The Telnet interface uses the same commands and syntax that are used with  
RS-232 control. See the command list, starting on page 15.
