to support jumbo frames. Disable the wireless adapter on your computer (it must be
hard-wired to the switch).

Establishing Connection
N2622S Decoders are shipped with DHCP as their default IP mode. The IP address
is assigned automatically based on the network DHCP server. If no DHCP server is
found, the unit will use Auto IP mode instead (with a default IP address of 169.254.
xxx.xxx).
Before using your N2622S Decoder unit, it must be configured using the free N-Able
device management software. However, you will not be able to configure units
until they are in the same subnet as the host computer. The sample steps below
show how the required changes (to the host computer's IP settings) are made in a
Windows environment.
▪ Steps for IP Address Configuration:
1. From the Control Panel > Network and Internet dialog box, select Network and
Sharing Center.
2. Select Change adapter settings.
3. Select the wired interface connected to your AV network.
4. Click the Properties button.
5. Scroll down in the list to the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) option.
Highlight it and click the Properties button.
6. Enable the Use the following IP address option, and enter the static IP address
provided to you by your network administrator.
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. Please contact your
network administrator if you are unsure of how to configure the existing interface.
If the computer has a statically assigned IP address, click on the Advanced
button. Then click Add to enter a unique 169.254.xxx.xxx address with a subnet of
255.255.0.0.
▪ Steps for auto discovering devices on the network:
7. Use the host computer to download and install the latest version of N-Able:
PC version - http://www.amx.com/products/N-ABLE-PC.asp
8. Attach your N2622 Decoder unit(s) to the managed network switch.
9. Connect the host computer to the same managed network switch.
10. Open the N-Able application.
Note: If all devices do not appear automatically, click the Auto Discover button on
the Unit Management tab. This issues a broadcast command that will discover all units
▪ Logging in Using N-Able Software
Once the host IP address is configured properly, you can view all discovered units
using the N-Able software. Access the N2622S Decoder units from the following
tabs:
• Unit Management tab - N2600 Encoder/Decoder is listed in the Type field.
• Video Matrix tab - N2622S Decoder units are found on the N2600 sub-tab of
this screen.
Double-click the unit's name (in one of the lists mentioned above) to view its
Settings page. If prompted, enter admin and password for the default username and
password. Once logged in, you can change the username and password (using the
options on the unit's Settings page). From this page, you can access any of the main
pages of the unit's GUI.
NOTE: If you would like for N-Able to support auto-login to your units, make sure
N-Able's Device Auto-login settings match the unit's username and password (by
selecting N-Able
> Settings from the N-Able tool bar).
NOTE: N2622 Decoder units can be configured to force HTTPS connections, so your
web browser may give you a security warning. N-Able on Windows will ask you to
download OpenSSL for Windows to connect HTTPS.
