QUICK START GUIDE
SVSi N3X21
H.264 Compressed Video Over IP Series
Overview
The N3X21 Video over IP Series extends the reach of your Networked AV
solution to the WAN for streaming, video to desktop, digital signage, set-top
boxes, cloud, or mobile devices applications. Fully integrated with existing
Networked AV control options, the N3X21 Series delivers the highest quality
HD video content at the lowest bandwidth for the most demanding
applications. This quick start guide will familiarize you with your new device
and step you through initial setup.
Establishing Connection
Before using your N3X21 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. N-Series
devices are shipped in Auto-IP mode with a default IP address of
169.254.xxx.xxx. 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 (for Windows 8):
1.
From the
Control Panel > Network and Internet
dialog box, select

Basic Installation Guidelines
Connections
Options
Power:
PoE:
Connect the unit’s
P0
port to an active, PoE-enabled
network switch
External power supply:
If not using PoE for power, connect a
12V regulated power supply (part number N9312) to the
unit’s two-pin terminal block plug connector labeled
+12V
2A
.
Network:
PoE units:
If using PoE to power the unit, you should already
have a network connection.
Externally powered units:
If not using PoE, connect the
P0
port to the network using an Ethernet cable, or connect the
P1
port to the network using an Ethernet cable.
Daisy-chain configuration:
Once network connection is
established to one unit, you can daisy chain additional units
by connecting Ethernet cables between devices using their
P0
and/or
P1
ports. Keep in mind that the number of units
supported in this configuration is limited by bandwidth (total
aggregate streams must be less than 1 Gb/s).
NOTE: PoE power is only supplied to the unit connected
directly to the network. All other units in the daisy-chain must
have an external power supply.
Video:
N3121 Encoders
• For video encoding of a
digital
source, connect the source
to the Encoder’s
DVI-D
port using a video cable with a
DVI-D connector (or adapter).
• For video encoding of a
digital or analog
source, connect
the source to the Encoder’s
DVI-I
port using a video cable
with a DVI-I connector (or adapter).
N3221 Decoders
• For video decoding, connect a digital display to the
Decoder’s
DVI-D OUT
port using a video cable with a DVI
connector (or adapter).

Audio:
N3121 Encoders
• For audio encoding, connect a line level analog audio
source to the
Audio
input terminal block plug connector, or
• Use the embedded audio from the video source.
N3221 Decoders
• For analog audio decoding, connect a line level analog
audio device to the
Audio
output terminal block plug
connector, or
• Send audio embedded in the video connection to a
monitor’s speakers.
