BlackWire Driver Manager

This driver requires BlackWire Driver Manager and OS 2.10+ to work. You must have this installed and setup before moving forward. 

IMPORTANT: 

Before beginning confirm you have a working static route enabled on your router. 

Type the IP address of your J+P receiver into your browser and confirm the J+P Web UI loads. If it does not you need to check or setup the static route on your router.

 

Download and install the BlackWire On Screen Display driver. Search for on screen display and then select the BlackWire Driver.

Install a copy of this driver for each room you want to use this in. 

Once you have the driver installed the Auto-Trial time will start. You have 72 hours to test the driver. No extensions will be provided. 

  1. Enter your license key into the License Key box
  2. Press select to pop up the Room Selection Box. This is the room you will want to obtain the Volume and Source Selection feedback from. 
  1. In this example we are selecting Kevins Office. In yours you will select the room you are setting up. 
  2. Press Ok. 

Once you press Ok the box will disappear. Press the now visible Set button. 

Almost finished! Now you can confirm the room you selected has been set. 

The options in the driver must now be setup. 

Text Location: This is where the OSD text will appear on the screen

Text Opacity: This is how much background is visible around the text

Volume Color: This is the color of the text when adjusting the volume

Mute Color: This is the color of the text for when mute has been enabled

Source Color: This is the color of the text that is displayed when the source is changed

 

Now it is time to identify the driver and assign it to the J+P receiver. 

Go to Connections – Network – IP Network and double click on the driver and then add the IP address of the Just Add Power receiver. 

IMPORTANT: You must have a working static route enabled or this driver will NOT work. The best way to test this is to type the IP address of the J+P receiver into your web browser and make sure a WEB UI loads.
