NVX network segments is to carry NVX multicast streams as well as NVX control and ancillary traffic. A secondary design decision must also be made as to where other Crestron network devices will be located relative to network infrastructure, and particularly whether such devices will coexist on the same segment as the NVX or another segment that has traversal capabilities (but not multicast enabled) to the NVX segment. - Page 13 NVX devices in a nonblocking fashion. If more devices are connected, the uplink becomes a bottleneck, introducing the potential for difficult-to-diagnose blocking problems. DigitalMedia NVX Series System • 9 Design Guide – DOC. 7977C...

Page 14: Network Topologies
For small NVX systems that employ only one network switch, use a nonblocking switch so that there is no opportunity for a bottleneck. Star topologies can accommodate very large NVX installations by using large modular switch frames.

• Disable IGMP proxy on Crestron control processors with routers. Crestron control processors with routers, such as the CP3N, Pro3, AV3, and the DMPS3 line, should have IGMP proxy functionality disabled when connected to the NVX network to ensure NVX multicast traffic does not interfere with the control processor. - Page 21 • If serial and/or IR control is required For both types of endpoints, an external control surface such as a Crestron switch or touch panel may be linked through one of the spare LAN ports. The audio port may be repurposed to be a balanced line input for external analog audio input or for line output to an amplification and speaker system at the endpoint.
- Page 22 Because endpoints can be difficult to find, which can lead to increased costs in programming and maintenance, use descriptive names for endpoints either through the NVX web configuration tool or by replacing the default name in the Crestron Toolbox™ console. Do not rely on the default name or the Crestron IP ID.
