Mounting Options
The N2000 units are available in stand-alone and card versions. The stand-alone version can be free standing, surface mounted,
wall mounted, or rack mounted. All cards
must be rack mounted
using the N9206 Card Cage (sold separately).
Surface and Wall Mounting
To mount your N2000 stand-alone unit to a flat surface or wall, follow these steps:
1.
Remove the four screws from the bottom of the unit and use them to attach the mounting wings (not included in shipment -
part number N9101). See
Figure 1
.
2.
Place the unit against the solid surface to which you want it mounted.
3.
Using standard hardware, attach the unit through each of the slots of the newly-attached mounting wings.
4.
Connect the appropriate cables necessary for your application. Refer to the sections
: Connecting Decoders to the Network
on
page 18 and
: Connecting Encoders to the Network and Configuring Stream Settings
on page 19 for more information on these
connections.

N2000 Series Cards
A Card Cage (part number N9206) accommodates up to six N-Series Encoder/Decoder cards (mix and match). The 12V power
supply of the N9206 is the primary power source for the installed cards. If the 12V power supply fails or is unplugged, the cards
will power down, detect PoE (if provided by switch) and restart normally using PoE. This usually results in a power loss of about one
to two seconds. The unit then reboots (which takes another one to two minutes).
To rack mount N2000 Series cards into the N9206 Card Cage, follow these steps:
1.
Gently slide the card into cage slot. Make sure the card is properly aligned with guides. The card’s front LED indicators should
align with holes in the cage’s faceplate. See
Figure 3
