Step 2: Establishing Communication with the N8000
Each controller ships with dual IP addresses (192.168.1.99 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and 169.254.10.99 with a netmask of
255.255.0.0).
•
For the single Ethernet port of the N8001:
The single Eth1 port is assigned both IP addresses.
•
For the two Ethernet ports of the N8002/N8012:
Eth0 gets the 192 address and should be used as the outward-facing IP address for LAN or WAN control. The 169 address
(assigned to Eth1) is in the default IP address range with which all N-Series Encoders and Decoders are shipped.
Logging In
The N-Command Controller has a web-based interface. To access the interface, open a web browser and navigate to the unit's IP
address. Google Chrome is the recommended browser.
•
After applying power to the unit, allow approximately one minute for initialization.
•
Once the unit boots, enter 192.168.1.99 into your web browser's URL bar.
•
The device log-in page displays. Enter the default username (admin) and password (password). These can be changed
after initial login.
•
After successful login, click on the Admin > Unit Management drop-down menu to discover all networked AV devices on
the video network.
•
These units display on the Matrix page. The login IP address can be changed by going to Admin > IP Address.

These units function as a virtual matrix switch for N-Series Encoders/Decoders and serve as a touch-panel editor for easy graphical
control of networked AV installations.
