Audio In; Usb - AMX NMX-ENC-1100 Instruction Manual

AUDIO IN

The audio signal strength indicators show the signal strength of the selected audio source. The encoder has separate indicators for
the left and right channels. The indicators are updated every half second.
FIG. 5 displays the audio signal strength indicators.

USB

The front panel features one Type-A USB connector for a connecting storage device. With a storage device connected to the port,
retrieve the configuration file or copy recorded video stream files to the storage device. Storage devices should be an external hard
disk drive (HDD) of 500GB or higher. NTFS-formatted drives are not supported.
The port has an LED beside it which indicates the state of writing files to an attached USB drive. See the LEDs section on page 11
for information about the LED indicator.
FIG. 6 displays the USB port and LED indicator.

NOTE: You can only retrieve information about IP conf iguration for the encoder from the front panel USB port. It is not possible to
retrieve IP conf iguration information by using the rear panel USB port. The encoder is capable of writing to devices connected to the
front and rear panel.
ID
The front panel features an ID pushbutton which allows you to retrieve the IP address and network configuration information for
the encoder. You can retrieve this information by inserting a USB drive into the encoder. Once the encoder recognizes the USB
drive, the USB LED turns green. After the USB LED turns green, press the ID pushbutton. The encoder creates and copies a text
(.txt) file to the USB drive with a list of configuration information including the IP address of the encoder.
NOTE: When a USB drive is attached to the encoder, the ID pushbutton is limited to only retrieving IP address information. You cannot
use the ID pushbutton with Identity Mode in NetLinx Studio unless there is no USB drive present.
FIG. 7 displays the ID pushbutton.
ID pushbutton
FIG. 7
The ID pushbutton functions as follows:
To use in conjunction with the ID Mode feature in NetLinx Studio, press the button once to assign a device address to the

device.
To retrieve the conf iguration information about the device, press the button to write the configuration file to a USB drive

connected to the front panel USB port. To enter this mode, connect a USB device to the USB port on the front panel of the
encoder and wait for the USB LED to turn green. When the LED flashes green, the encoder is copying a .txt file to the USB
drive. The encoder is finished transferring the file to the USB drive when the LED stops flashing.
IMPORTANT: It is not recommended to retrieve the conf iguration information while the encoder is streaming or recording.
To toggle between a DHCP or static IP address, press the ID pushbutton for two seconds until the USB LED starts to fast

blink. If you release the pushbutton within 10 seconds of the start of the fast blink, the network configuration toggles
from DHCP to static with a default IP address of 192.168.1.100 (or vice versa if the encoder is currently set to a static IP
address.) If a static IP address previously had been assigned to the encoder, this function reverts the encoder to the
previous IP address.
NOTE: In this mode, there should not be a USB drive present in either USB port.
To restore the device conf iguration to its factory default settings, press the ID pushbutton for 10 seconds during a boot

cycle. The USB LED turns green and starts blinking slowly. Releasing the pushbutton while the LED is slow blinking causes
the factory default configuration of the device to be restored. If you keep the pushbutton pressed for another 10 seconds,
the device configuration does not restore, however, you can restore the factory firmware version (see next bullet.)
CAUTION:
To restore the factory f irmware version, press the ID pushbutton during boot cycle for 20 seconds during a boot cycle.

The USB LED turns green and start a fast blink. Releasing the pushbutton while the LED is fast blinking causes the factory
firmware to be restored. Holding the button past the 10 seconds time window of fast blinking results in normal boot of the
system without restoring the factory device configuration or firmware.
CAUTION:
Instruction Manual - NMX-ENC H.264 Encoder
Restoring the factory default results in complete loss of the user conf iguration.
Restoring the factory f irmware version results in full loss of the device's user conf iguration and the current f irmware.
