Thank you for your help. I just got it going.

Global Configurator application is not required....much easier to configure with the units web interface.

-It is very likely your unit won't have the default IP address. Read the user manual to reset. (hold reset button process)

-Log into the web interface by entering IP address into browser. (default 192.168.254.254) You will have to change IP address of your computer to 192.168.254.### to be able to log in.

-Change IP address of the Extron unit to work on your network.

-Change your computer back to automatic IP address

-Log back into web interface by entering your new Extron IP address.

-Click on Port Settings tab

-Change each port to have settings:

Port Type: RS232

Baud Rate: 57600

Data Bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop Bits: 1

Flow Control: None

Open Wireless Designer

-Connect via Network

-enter IP address of Extron

and the magic Port numbers are: (4 channel version)

Good luck

WOW! Thank you so much for this gents. I'll let you know how I go.

Does anyone have any experience in setting this up?

I have an Extron IPL T S4 connected to 4 x Lectro Venue 1 (Wideband Mid).

I have installed Extron Global Configurator 3.

I am at a loss at what to do next. 

Thank you in advance.

Has anyone tried any of the products from RF-Links?

GX-68

I've been wondering if I could use a GX-68 and take an output of of my antenna distro to send to one of their receivers. It's analogue, but I'm not fussed with quality, just need to see which talent is in front of the camera in reality TV.

It would be an expensive experiment...

Since each power supply has to be capable of handling the full load (otherwise it's not redundant) each RPS8 power supply would need to be able to put out 12 Amps continuously with some safety margin. That gets to be a fairly hefty 15 Amp pair of supplies with bigger fans (the kiss of death). Or you could use 4 power supplies in one box which gets you back to just buying two RPS4's. Also, the market for an RPS8 would be much smaller than the small RSP4 market. Finally, the few people that  truly need an RPS8 can certainly afford to buy two RPS4's. Eight Venue racks is a lot of wireless.

Thanks Larry and Karl,

Understood! 

I generally have 6 Venues in a rack, so would help to tidy up and provide more reliability. 

I also have a rack of 8 x IFBT4 which could benefit from this.

Thank you, fantastic looking product.

Very excited about this. Keen to clean up the rear of my racks. Any plans for an RPS8??

I struggled with this problem with many of my SM transmitters. I found that the spring washer was grinding a circle off the coating on the battery door. If you remove the circlip and flip the spring washer upside-down you will get extra life out of the battery door. I work in very dusty environments and now as a matter of course blow canned air under the spring washer with the battery door off the transmitter, to remove grinding particles. Give it a try...
