NOTES:
•
Do
NOT
connect VN-Matrix units to an existing network until each is
correctly configured. Incorrect configuration may cause disruption to
other network users.

Mounting the Units
CAUTIONS:
•
Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.
•
Ensure the vents in front and rear of the equipment case are not covered.
Detailed mounting instructions are in the “
Reference Information
“ section. The 1U high,
half-rack width VNC 325 codecs can be placed on a tabletop, without additional kits or
mounted on a rack shelf or mounted under a desk, using the optional applicable mounting
kit.
Planning the System Architecture
Before you make connections, plan how you will transport data (see “
Data Transport
Methods
“, below) and how you will route the streaming video and audio and the control
signals within the network (see “
Data and Control Routing
,“ on page 10).
