Streaming network (LAN 2)
NOTE:
The RJ-45 and SFP streaming network connectors share the same IP address.
Only one connector can be active at any time. If the SFP cage is unpopulated, the
RJ-45 connector is active. If the SFP cage is populated, it becomes active and the
RJ-45 connector is inactive.
By default, the RJ-45 port is the active streaming network connection and the SFP cage
(see
figure 6 , D on page 13 for the encoder or figure 7 , D on page 13 for the decoder) is
unpopulated.
To use the RJ-45 port (see
figure 6
, C for the encoder or
figure 7
, C for the decoder),
connect this port to the network with a standard LAN cable.
If required, third-party SFP connectors must be purchased separately. To install an SFP
connector, follow these points:
1. Select and purchase the SFP connector that is most suitable for your requirements
(most models are acceptable). Either single mode (1310 nm) or multi-mode (850 nm)
modules can be used.
2. Power down the unit. In addition to being good safety practice, the unit needs to be
rebooted for the device to correctly recognize the SFP port.
3.
Install the module and reboot the unit. When a compatible SFP module is installed, the
SFP port becomes active and the RJ-45 port is deactivated.
4. Connect a single mode or multi-mode cable to the encoder (see figure 6 ,
D
), or
decoder (see figure 7 ,
D
).
To use a VNM 250 device as a controller:
1.
Configure the network settings of the device that is to be used as the system controller
(see
Low Level Device Configuration
on page 25).
2. Connect the device to the network using the streaming LAN 2 port on the rear panel of
the encoder (see
figure 6 ,
C
or
D
), or decoder (see figure 7 ,
C
or
D
).
3. Open a web browser on a control PC that is connected to the same network.
4. Enter the IP address of the streaming port of the VNM 250 device that was set as
system controller in step 1, above, and use the GUI to configure the system settings
(see
Setting a VNM Device as the System Controller on page 28).
NOTE: To control larger systems (ten or more components), use a VN-Matrix
Enterprise Controller (see the VN-Matrix Enterprise Controller User Guide at
www.extron.com ).
Control network (LAN 1)
The control port LAN 1 can be used for system control, using the HLI control protocol. A
touchpanel or similar control interface can be connected and configured to communicate
with the VNM Enterprise Controller to recall previously configured presets (see the
Note
under figure 8 on the previous page).
NOTE: This control method can only be used with a VN-Matrix Enterprise Controller.
The HLI control protocol is not supported by the VNM 250 controller (see the
VN-Matrix Enterprise Controller User Guide at www.extron.com ).
