CAUTION:To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment, disconnect the power from the 
HMX 1050 user station by unplugging the power supply from the electrical outlet. To reduce the risk of electric 
shock or damage to your equipment, turn on the remote workstation and the HMX 1050 user station in the order 
described in the following procedures.

You can install the HMX system with the HMX 1050 user station either by a point-to-point or 
networked configuration.

In a point-to-point configuration, no administrator setup of the HMIQDI transmitter or the HMX 
1050 user station is required. This enables you to install the system quickly, directly out-of-the-box. 
However, in the point-to-point configuration, you can install only one HMIQDI transmitter and 
HMX 1050 user station pair on a subnet, and both must be on the same subnet.

Before connecting the HMIQDI transmitter to the remote workstation, ensure that the resolution 
and the refresh rate of the remote workstation are supported by the HMX 1050 user station. Set the 
screen resolution and refresh rate of the remote workstation. Unsupported settings will cause blank 
video at the user station.
