  • Page 20: Step-By-Step Installation Instructions

    SVSi equipment can operate on many different brands of networking equipment. The network itself needs to meet certain requirements to be able to support an SVSi deployment. These instructions assume that you have purchased and installed a pre-configured switch from SVSi or that your existing equipment meets the following physical and protocol requirements: •...

  • Page 21: Setting Up Your Host Computer

    STEP 1 SETTING UP YOUR HOST COMPUTER In order to communicate with SVSi equipment, your devices must be on the same subnet as the host computer. N2000 devices are shipped in Auto IP mode with a default IP address of 169.254.xxx.xxx. Before beginning installation, you will need to make some changes to the computer running N-Able.
  • Page 22 Note: If the computer does not need Internet access, you can simply enter a unique 169.254.xxx.xxx IP address with a 255.255.0.0 subnet mask. Contact your network administrator if you are unsure of how to configure the existing network. SVSi units will not self-assign in the 169.254.0.xxx range.

  • Page 29: Configuring Decoder And Encoder Ip Addresses (If Needed)

    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.

  • Page 30: Option 2: Assigning Ip Addresses To Multiple Units (Using Csv Files)

    Chapter 2. Installation Changing IP Addresses Note: If you lose communication for any reason, unplug the N2000, wait one minute, and plug it back in. This restores the unit to the original IP address. Option 2: Assigning IP Addresses to Multiple Units (using CSV files) N-Able has the ability to export and import CSV files.

  • Page 33: Control Options

    To better understand, think of Encoders as radio stations and Decoders as car radios. The Encoders are supplying the streams and, using the Decoders, you can “tune in” to the stream you want. SVSi’s N-Control solutions (N-Command, N-Act, and N-Touch) provide you with the most flexible management options available, insuring you are getting the most from your digital media system.
