Installation - American Dynamics VideoEdge User Manual

The IP Encoder can be rack mounted, wall mounted or desk mounted.
Note
For a rack mount installation three IP Encoders must be used.
Up to 16 IP Encoders, supplying a maximum of 16 video inputs, can be connected to one Intellex
IP unit.
Note
POE networks that are connected to IP Encoders should not be routed to the exterior or outside of the
installed plant location.
The method of installing the IP Encoder will vary depending on the type of IP Encoder, i.e Power
over Ethernet (PoE) or Power Supply (PS), and the network configuration of the installation
environment. The two standard methods of installing the IP Encoder are:
• Method A — Pre-configuration of the IP Encoder;
• Method B — Post-configuration of the IP Encoder.
Method A — Pre-configuration of the IP Encoder; occurs before physical installation to the
network. This method is suited to larger installations where a number of IP Encoders are to be
installed on the same site at the same time. The advantage of Method A in this case is the IP
Encoders will have their network settings and identification configured before their connection to
the Intellex IP. This allows easier identification of each IP Encoder when using the Intellex IP to set
the video parameters for each device.
Note
Method A must be used where the Intellex IP TCP/IP settings are on a different subnet address
to the IP Encoder default settings (192.168.1.80/255.255.255.0). Using this method will ensure
TCP/IP settings match the subnet of the Intellex before the unit is connected to the Intellex
network.
Method B — Post-configuration of the IP Encoder; occurs after physical installation to the network.
This method is suited to smaller network configurations or where only one IP Encoder is being
added and configured at a time.
Note
In order to use Method B, the Intellex IP TCP/IP settings must be on the same subnet address
to the IP Encoder default settings (192.168.1.80/255.255.255.0).
