Setup and Configuration
IMPORTANT! Installation Guidelines
•
Do not connect the power supply until all NetworkHD devices are connected to the network switch.
•
NetworkHD 600 Series uses DHCP to assign IP addresses by default. In the absence of a DHCP server an AutoIP address will be assigned in the subnet
169.254.0.0/16. Ensure the PC being used for configuration obtains an IP via DHCP or is set to an address in the AutoIP range prior to starting the
configuration process.
•
In order to configure the NetworkHD encoders and decoders, the AV port on the NHD-000-CTL MUST be connected to the same LAN/VLAN and Subnet as the
NHD encoders and decoders.
•
In order for the devices in the system to be controlled via a 3rd party controller on a different VLAN, the CONTROL port MUST be connected to the same LAN/
VLAN and Subnet as the control system.
•
The NHD-000-CTL’s two Ethernet ports are designed to be used in different Networks or VLANs. When using a single Network or VLAN for example when
using NetworkHD Touch – do not connect both ports – only use the AV port of the CTL.
Installation and Connections
1.
Install NHD devices to allow airflow through the product - WyreStorm recommend using the NHD-000-RACK3. The install location should be dry, well
ventilated and guaranteed to maintain the mandatory operating temperature range of the product.
2. Connect sources to the NetworkHD encoders using a DisplayPort or HDMI cable from a quality brand such as
connection.
3.
Connect the HDMI display to the NetworkHD decoders using an HDMI cable from a quality brand such as
ensuring a firm port connection.
4. Connect NetworkHD encoders, decoders, and CTL to the network switch using well terminated and tested category cable, whilst ensuring compliance with
IEEE 802.3an (10GbE encoder/decoder port) or IEEE 802.3ab (for CTL, encoder, and decoder 1GbE ports).
5. Optionally connect the LAN port to equipment following the guidance in the
6. Optionally connect the encoder/decoder RS-232 port to equipment following the pinout in the
7. Optionally connect the Audio In or Out to an audio device following the pinout in the
section.
Download the
NetworkHD Switch Mapping Worksheet
from any NetworkHD product page to keep track of Mac addresses, device and alias names for later
reference. This will aid in any reconfiguration or troubleshooting.
NetworkHD Console Configuration
In addition to the steps below more information on configuration can be found in the
1.
Connect a computer running Windows™ to the same LAN/VLAN as the NetworkHD components and ensure its IP is within the same subnet as the
NetworkHD default 169.254.x.x IP addresses. The NHD-000-CTL is set to a static address of 169.254.1.1 by default – do not choose this address for your PC.
2. Power On the NHD devices by connecting the included power supplies to the
Power Input
or by powering On the PoE switch.
3.
Open the WyreStorm Management Suite (Available from the
website) and launch the
NetworkHD 000 Series Console
and press
Search
.
Note:
If a no devices are discovered, verify that encoders/decoders, CTL and PC are within the same subnet scope and within the same range of the CTLs AV
Port and disable or create an exception for the
NetworkHD Console
in the
Windows Firewall.
4. Configure the system as per the instructions in the
.
Right Click on the NHD-600-TX/RX to see its available options, including
setting the devices IP address and setting an Alias name. You will also find other configuration options under the
Batch Settings window.
Note:
If a 3rd Party control system with a WyreStorm driver for NetworkHD is going to be used, the encoders must use the names IN1, IN2, etc. This also
applies to decoders, OUT1, OUT2, etc. For example, IN1-Satellite Receiver 1.
5. Upload to the configuration to the NHD-000-CTL by right clicking the CTL in the
Other Devices
section and selecting Upload.
6. Configure the scaling, HDCP values of each decoder based on the requirements of the content and display using the settings found in the
Video
tab in the
Batch Settings
screen.
