Installing the N2612S-C Encoder Card:

Follow the steps below to install your new N2612S-C Encoder into an existing N9206
Card Frame.
1. Gently slide the N2612S-C into the card cage slot. Make sure the card is properly
aligned with the guides. The N2612S-C front LED indicators should align with the
holes in the cage faceplate. See Fig. 2.

2. Align the thumb screw on to the back plate before seating the N2612S-C into the
cage.
3. Firmly seat the N2612S-C and tighten the thumb screw by hand to secure the
N2612S-C.
4. Use the 2-pin phoenix connector cable with ferrite core attached to connect
the N2612S-C 12VDC input phoenix connector to one of the N9206 six 12VDC
outputs.
5. Repeat these steps until all N2612S-C are properly installed. See Fig. 3.

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-C 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).
