Harman AMX NMX-ENC-N2612S Quick Start Manual

Overview
The SVSI NMX-ENC-N2612S Encoder is part of the N2600 Series and used in conjunction
with N2600 Series Decoders for transmission of video, audio, control, and USB 2.0
over Ethernet. All Encoders and Decoders of the N2600 Series feature balanced audio,
HDMI video connections, and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE+). The N2600 Series Decoders
support output scaling and limited output downscaling options.

Attaching Signal and Control Cables
The following table explains how to attach cables to the front of the Encoder.
IMPORTANT: Encoders must be securely mounted and connected to the switch before
attaching the remaining cables.
NOTE: Any switch handling the N2612S Encoder video stream must be configured to
support jumbo frames. Disable the wireless adapter on your computer (it must be hard-
wired to the switch).

Establishing Connection
N2612S Encoders 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 N2612S Encoder 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.
Select Change adapter settings.
2.
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:
1. Use the host computer to download and install the latest version of N-Able:
PC version - http://www.amx.com/products/N-ABLE-C.asp
2. Attach your N2612S Encoder unit(s) to the managed network switch.
3. Connect the host computer to the same managed network switch.
4. 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.
