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.

QUICK START GUIDE

NMX-DEC-N2622S Decoder

Overview

The SVSI NMX-DEC-N2622S Decoder is part of the N2600 Series and used in conjunction 

with N2600 Series Encoders for receiving 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 Decoder.

IMPORTANT:

Decoders must be securely mounted and connected to the switch 

before attaching the remaining cables.

NOTE: Any switch handling the N2622S Decoder video stream must be configured 

to support jumbo frames. Disable the wireless adapter on your computer (it must be 

hard-wired to the switch).
