Changing Stream Setting

Repeat these steps until all Encoders are connected to the network and configured with an appropriate
Stream
number.
NOTE:
Each Encoder’s Stream number must be unique to all other Encoders on the network.
NOTE:
Screen-by-screen descriptions of the web interface options are provided for your reference in the

Configuring Decoder and Encoder IP addresses (if needed)
IP configuration changes must be done correctly to avoid any communication disruptions with the N3000 unit.
As mentioned previously, the default IP mode differs depending on product model:
N3121/N3221 devices are shipped in
Auto IP
mode. This means that the IP address is pre-configured to 169.254.xxx.xxx
with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. When first connected to the network,
Auto IP
checks the for available IP addresses in
the 169.254.xxx.xxx range and then makes an appropriate, static assignment to each unit.
N3132/N3232 devices are shipped in
DHCP
mode. When first connected to the network, an IP address is assigned
automatically based on the network DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found, the unit will use
Auto IP
mode.
How IP Address Changes Affect Unit Control
As discussed previously, N-Able control is dependent upon the host computer being in the same IP address range as the SVSI
devices. Therefore, before making any N3000 IP address changes, we recommend having
two statically-assigned IP addresses on
your computer
.
Configure the first IP address to be in the range of the default N-Series IP settings (i.e., in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range), AND
Configure a second IP address in the range of the IP address you are planning to assign to the units (or when using DHCP,
an address within the defined range for your network).
