Share Mode will operate with the HMX user stations configured for Extender Mode. In Extender 
Mode, normally there would not be an HMX Manager appliance in the system.

From a user station, three steps are required to make a Share Mode connection with a Share Mode 
enabled transmitter: 

NOTE: Is is recommended that the IP address and Share Mode settings of each user station are configured 
before adding them to the network.

•

Via the serial port of the user station, set the transmitter for Share Mode connection.

•

Via the serial port of the user station, set the user station for Share Mode connection.

•

On the user station, enter the IP address of the transmitter with which a connection is desired. 
To configure this option on the user station, see Configuring Network Settings on page 33.

NOTE: Repeat the last two steps for each user station that you wish to connect to the transmitter.

In order to use Share Mode in Extender Mode, Share Mode must be enabled from both the 
transmitter’s serial menu and the user station’s serial menu. Once a transmitter is enabled for Share 
Mode, multiple user stations can connect with the transmitter.
