2.2. Connecting Steps

2.2.1. Preparing the Network

For the correct installation build a Local Area Network with a
Layer 3 (L3) type switch (highly recommended). However, Unicast
mode requires only Layer 2 (L2) switch. In both cases the switch must
support the Multicast routing.
ATTENTION! VINX Encoder and Decoder send certain system
commands over multicast packages. If the multicast routing is
disabled on the network, the signal transmission may fail.
Layer 2 vs. Layer 3 Switch
The VINX Encoders and Decoders use multicast routing. The managed
switch in the network shall offer the following capabilities:
▪ IGMPv2
IGMP snooping
▪
▪ IGMP fast leave
▪ IGMP Querier
Multicast filtering
▪
9k MTU - Jumbo/Giant frames
▪
These features are supported by the Layer 3 type switches. Please
see more technical information about the network requirements in the
Application Note (LW-AN-001) section.

L3 Network Switch
CATx Connect a CATx cable between the VINX devices and the
L3 Switch.
Connect an HDMI source device (e.g. a computer) to the
HDMI
HDMI input port of the Encoder. Optionally connect a Local
Display to the Output port of the Encoder.
Connect HDMI display devices to the HDMI output port of
the Decoder devices.
Optionally for RS-232 serial transmission: connect the
RS-232
desired devices (e.g. a Touch Control, Relay Box) to the
RS-232 ports by the supplied serial cables.
Optionally for USB extension: connect USB devices to
USB
the USB ports of the Decoders. Connect the desired host
device (e.g. Computer) to the Encoder via the USB mini-B
type port. Please pay attention to the indicated port types
(USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 support)
Power Connect the power cord of the supplied adaptor to the DC
input first, then to the AC power socket.
Connect a computer to the L3 Switch; thus, you can
CATx
connect to any VINX extender and arrange the necessary
settings easily.

2.2.3. Further Steps

Step 1. Connect a computer to the network to arrange the necessary
settings easily (see the

ATTENTION! Usually, an Ethernet switch needs more time to be

ready after powered on, than the VINX extenders. If the VINX devices
Keyboard and the Ethernet switch are powered on at the same time, the VINX
devices may not get IP address and they cannot be accessed over
RS-232
Ethernet. The solution is to power off the VINX devices and power
