Step 2: Connect to the IP Network

Use the provided Ethernet cable to connect the encoder to your IP network.

1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port (to the left of the COM ports)

on the encoder.

2. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into a network port or switch.

Step 3: Power-on the Encoder

Attach the provided power cable to the encoder or rack mount shelf (which has two cables)

and to an appropriate AC power source(s) as explained below. When powered-on, the

encoder will automatically run a power-on self-test sequence.

1. For standalone encoders, insert the power connector that comes with the encoder into

the 24 VDC power receptacle in the lower left corner of the back panel.

2. For a rack mount shelf, insert the two power connectors into the dual power supplies on

the back panel.

3. Connect the other power connector end(s) to a conventional 110/220 VAC power

source.

4. Wait until the encoder or blade completes the boot sequence before continuing. This may take 1–3

minutes and the unit will self-test while displaying status messages on the optional LCD

display on the front panel.

5. The encoder will then search for a DHCP server and display the IP address on the LCD

panel (if present). If this process completes successfully, note the IP address and skip to

step five. See: Step 5: Verify Streaming Video and Audio.

6. If you do not have an LCD display, and/or your network is not DHCP-enabled, you will

need to connect an ASCII terminal to the serial port to find or set the IP address. This is

explained in step four. See: Step 4: Find or Set an IP Address.
