If you fail to connect to a system from a hardware receiver, check the following to pinpoint the
problem:

• Do not connect two units of the same type (for example, receiver to receiver).

• Make sure network connectivity is available (for example, by using the ping command as

described above).

If no video or a distorted video image is displayed at the receiver during a connection to a
transmitter:

• Make sure to use the right unit for your application: a camera can be connected only to a

transmitter, never to a receiver.

• Make sure the camera is switched on and the coaxial cable is connected to the transmitter.

• Check the camera cable and connect a video monitor to the camera to check that the camera is

functioning correctly.

• At the receiving system, make sure the monitor is switched on and the coaxial cable is

connected to the receiver.

• Check the monitor cable and the selection of the monitor channel, if the monitor features more

than one video channel.

• If the monitor can display only a single video standard (PAL or NTSC), check the setting of the

video output format on the Video Settings configuration page.
