INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides an installation overview as well as a detailed step-by-step process for installation.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
The N2000 Encoders and Decoders have multiple configuration and installation options. For basic installation
guidelines, see
Table 2-1 . For more detailed instructions, refer to Step-by-Step Installation Instructions on
page 20.
Table 2-1. Basic Installation Guidelines
Connections Options
Power
Power over Ethernet (PoE): Connect the unit’s P0 port to an active, PoE-enabled
network switch (not supported on the N2211 Decoder).
External power supply: If not using PoE for power, connect a 12V regulated power
supply (SVSi part number N9312) to the unit’s two-pin terminal block plug connector
labeled +12V 2A.
Network
PoE units: If using PoE to power the unit, you should already have a network
connection.
Externally powered units: If not using PoE, connect either the P0 or P1 port to the
network using an Ethernet cable.
Daisy-chain configuration: Once network connection is established to one unit,
you can daisy chain additional units by connecting Ethernet cables between devices
using their P0 and/or P1 ports. Keep in mind that the number of units supported in
this configuration is limited by bandwidth (total aggregate streams must be less than
1 Gb/s).
Note: PoE power is only supplied to the unit connected directly to the network. All
other units in the daisy-chain must have an external power supply.
Video
N2000 Encoders
• For video encoding of a digital source, connect the source to the Encoder’s DVI-D
port using a video cable with a DVI-D connector (or adapter).
• For video encoding of a digital or analog source, connect the source to the
Encoder’s DVI-I port using a video cable with a DVI-I connector (or adapter).
N2000 Decoders
• For video decoding, connect a digital display to the Decoder’s DVI-D port using a
video cable with a DVI-D connector (or adapter).
