CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS
NV-EC1701 EoC transceivers transmit high bandwidth encrypted Ethernet signals over conventional coax cables. To provide utmost signal integrity and security, the
NV-EC1701 transceivers
must be configured
to communicate exclusively with other transceivers within their
Network Group
. This group typically consists of one
NV-EC1701 located at the control room (usually connected to an ethernet switch or router), and up to four remote NV-EC1701 transceivers (usually connected to IP cameras).
Before connecting to the network,
each NV-EC1701 must learn which other NV-EC1701 transceivers are to be part of that group
. This simple process is
called
Joining
. It is recommended that transceivers in each Network Group be configured
prior to deployment
using these instructions:
Step One: Gather Materials
• NV-EC1701 transceivers
• 48VDC power supply & line-cord (NV-PS48-60W)
• Coax jumper
• Small paper-clip, partially straightened
• Device labels
• IP Network Documentation Log
Step Two: Connect Hardware
• Remove and discard the “Configure Before Use” labels.
• Connect two NV-EC1701 transceivers using a coax jumper.
• Connect a 48-56V power supply to transceiver #1; Apply power.
• Verify that the blue POWER LED on each transceiver illuminates.
• After 20 seconds, verify that the green BNC LED on each transceiver is off. If a BNC LED is on, the
transceiver has been previously joined. Perform the un-joining process below before proceeding.
Step Three: Joining
• On transceiver #1, using the straightened paper-clip, momentarily depress the small push-button
located behind and slightly above the RJ45 LED. The blue Power LED will begin blinking.
• Depress the same push-button on the transceiver #2.
• Both transceivers have now entered
Join Mode
.They will find each other and establish encrypted
communication. In about 10 seconds, the blue Power LEDs on both transceivers will return to a steady
on condition, indicating a successful
Join
.
Step Four: Adding Transceivers
(if required)
• Disconnect transceiver #2 and replace it with a new un-joined transceiver (#3, or #4, or #5).
• Repeat steps two and three to add additional transceivers to the same Network Group.
Step Five: Documentation
• Label the configured transceivers with a unique Network Group ID of your choice.
This will help you identify them after they have been deployed.
• Record this Network Group information in your IP Network Documentation Log.
This log may include essential documentation which will help you identify all
system devices during and after deployment:
• Camera Number
• Camera-end NVT Transceiver MAC Address
• Camera Position/Location
• NVT Transceiver Network Group Name
• Camera Make & Model
• Control Room NVT Transceiver MAC Address
• Camera MAC & IP Address
• Control Room Router Port Number
• Camera Login & Password
Un-Joining a Transceiver
If you need to move a transceiver from one Network Group to another, it must first un-learn its previous
Network Group and be returned to an un-joined state. Do this by:
• Connect a 48-56 VDC power supply to a transceiver to be un-joined.
• Wait until its green BNC LED is lit.
• Using the straightened paper-clip, momentarily depress the small push-button located behind
and slightly above the RJ45 LED until the green BNC LED goes off. The RJ45 LED should remain off.
• Release the paperclip.
• Observe that the BNC and RJ45 LEDs flash.
• Observe that the BNC and RJ45 LEDs turn off.
• Observe that the BNC goes on solid.
• Un-joining is now complete.
If you are not sure that un-joining has been successful, remove and then re-apply power, and repeat.
