2.3. Connecting Steps

AAAENAIING! Please make sure that the VINX devices within a
system run the same firmware (package version). If the firmwares
are different the seamless working is not guaranteed.

2.3.1. 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.
AAAENAIING!
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
Firmware Release Notes section.

Connect an HDMI source device (e.g. a computer) to the HDMI
input port of the Encoder.
Connect HDMI display devices to the HDMI output port of the
Decoder devices for the Video Wall application.
Connect the desired VGA source (e.g.a laptop) to the Encoder.
Optionally for RS-232 serial transmission: connect the 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 the USB
ports of the Decoders. Connect the desired host device (e.g.
computer) to the Encoder via the USB mini-B type port.
Optionally for audio transmission: connect the desired audio
source device (e.g. a media player) to the audio input port of
the Encoder.
Optionally for audio extraction: connect an audio amplifier and
speakers to the audio output port of the Decoder.
Connect CATx cables between the VINX devices and the L3
Switch.
If '-AP' models are in the system using PoE, it is recommended
to connect them as a final step.
For devices with local power only: connect the power cord of
the supplied adaptor to the DC input first, then to the AC power
