7. Repeat these steps until all Encoders are connected to the network and configured with an appropriate Stream number.
NOTE: Each Encoder's Stream number must be unique to all other Encoders on the network.

Step 4: Conf iguring Decoder and Encoder IP addresses (if needed)
By default, all Decoders and Encoders are preset to Auto IP mode. This means that the IP address is pre-configured to
169.254.xxx.xxx with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. When an N2000 is first connected to the network, Auto IP checks the network
for available IP addresses in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range and then makes an appropriate, static assignment to each unit. It may be
beneficial in some applications to use DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) or static IP addresses, but IP configuration changes
must be done correctly to avoid any communication disruptions with the N2000 unit.

How IP Address Changes Affect Unit Control

As discussed previously, N-Able control is dependent upon the host computer being in the same IP address range as the SVSI
devices. Therefore, before making any N2000 IP address changes, we recommend having two statically-assigned IP addresses on
your computer.
Configure the first IP address to be in the range of the default N-Series IP settings (i.e., in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range), AND

Configure a second IP address in the range of the IP address you are planning to assign to the units (or when using DHCP,

an address within the defined range for your network).
