Digitalinx IP networks. Basic Ethernet Switch Configuration Settings Below is a list of basic Ethernet settings for L2/L3 switches that can be used to configure switches for Digitalinx IP devices.
The PSE will also manage the power requirements for the attached devices. • A PD is a device powered by a PSE. Examples include Digitalinx IP encoders and decoders, as well as wireless access points. The electric modules that receive power from the PSE are called PD modules.
Wireless Access Devices In order for the Digitalinx IP Control software on an iPad to connect to the IP video network, it is necessary to deploy a wireless access point (WAP) on the A/V network. Set up an SSID and password for connectivity but Internet access for the WAP is not required.
Digitalinx IP Network Switch Guide A/V Network Topology 2000 / 2100 series systems can be deployed in a single or multi switch configuration. Single Switch Networking Below is an example of a A/V network topology using only one 24 port L2/L3 Managed Poe Network switch.
Digitalinx IP Network Switch Guide Multiple Switch Networking In a multi switch environment, two or more switches may be uplinked together to become one large A/V network. There are two methods that we address in this configuration guide; cascading and stacking.
Digitalinx IP Network Switch Guide Stacking Network Switches Below is an example of two switches stacked together with one Fiber cable jumper. In this configuration guide there are separate configurations for the core and extended switch when stacking switches together however when using a stacked network configuration the core network switch will manage the entire network.
Digitalinx IP Network Switch Guide Open Network Ports Required Below is a detailed list of the required open ports for DigitalinxIP series devices. These ports must be opened to communicate with DigitalinxIP devices on a LAN with a router and/or firewall.
