Establishing Connection
N2612S Encoders are shipped with DHCP as their default IP mode. The IP address is
assigned automatically based on the network DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found,
the unit will use Auto IP mode instead (with a default IP address of 169.254.xxx.xxx).
Before using your N2612S Encoder unit, it must be congured using the free N-Able device
management software. However, you will not be able to congure units until they are in
the same subnet as the host computer. 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 conguration:
1. From the Control Panel > Network and Internet dialog box, select
Network and Sharing Center.
2. Select Change adapter settings.
3. Select the wired interface connected to your AV network.
4. Click the Properties button.
5. Scroll down in the list to the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
option. Highlight it and click the Properties button.
6. Enable the Use the following IP address option, and enter the static IP
address provided to you by your network administrator.
NOTE: If the computer does not need Internet access, you can simply enter a
unique 169.254.xxx.xxx IP address with a 255.255.0.0 Subnet mask. Please contact
your network administrator if you are unsure of how to congure the existing
interface. If the computer has a statically assigned IP address, click on the Advanced
button. Then click Add to enter a unique 169.254.xxx.xxx address with a subnet of
255.255.0.0.
▪Steps for auto discovering devices on the network:
1. Use the host computer to download and install the latest version of N-Able:
PC version - http://www.amx.com/products/N-ABLE-C.asp
2. Attach your N2612S Encoder unit(s) to the managed network switch.
3. Connect the host computer to the same managed network switch.
4. Open the N-Able application.
Note: If all devices do not appear automatically, click the Auto Discover button on
the
Unit Management tab. This issues a broadcast command that will discover all units.
ID button - (Press and release)
Identies the unit in N-Able.
(Press and hold 30 seconds
)
set Encoder back to factory
defaults.
RESET button - (Press and release)

QUICK START GUIDE
NMX-ENC-N2612S Encoder
Overview
The SVSI NMX-ENC-N2612S Encoder is part of the N2600 Series and used in conjunction
with N2600 Series Decoders for transmission of video, audio, control, and USB 2.0
over Ethernet. All Encoders and Decoders of the N2600 Series feature balanced audio,
HDMI video connections, and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE+). The N2600 Series Decoders
support output scaling and limited output downscaling options.
FIG. 1 N2612S STAND ALONE ENCODER
Attaching Signal and Control Cables
The following table explains how to attach cables to the front of the Encoder.
IMPORTANT: Encoders must be securely mounted and connected to the switch before
attaching the remaining cables.
NOTE: Any switch handling the N2612S Encoder video stream must be congured to
support jumbo frames. Disable the wireless adapter on your computer (it must be hard-
wired to the switch).

▪Logging in Using N-Able Software
Once the host IP address is congured properly, you can view all discovered units
using the N-Able software. Access the N2612S Encoder units from the following
tabs:
• Unit Management tab - N2600 Encoder/Decoder is listed in the Type
eld.
• Video Matrix tab - N2612S Encoder units are found on the N2600 sub-tab
of this screen.
Double-click the unit’s name (in one of the lists mentioned above) to view its
Settings page. If prompted, enter admin and password for the default username
and password. Once logged in, you can change the username and password (using
the options on the unit’s Settings page). From this page, you can access any of the
main pages of the unit’s GUI.
NOTE: If you would like for N-Able to support auto-login to your units, make sure
N-Able’s Device Auto-login settings match the unit’s username and password (by
selecting N-Able > Settings from the N-Able tool bar).
NOTE: N2612S Encoder units can be congured to force HTTPS connections, so your
web browser may give you a security warning. N-Able on Windows will ask you to
download OpenSSL for Windows to connect HTTPS.
Basic USB 2.0 Setup
The N2612S Encoders and N2600 Series Decoders are USB 2.0-capable. By
default, USB connections are enabled and congured to follow video switching.
Follow these steps for basic USB 2.0 setup.
1. On the N2612S Encoder, connect the USB-Micro port to the computer to be
controlled.
2. Connect the computer’s video output to the Encoder’s HDMI IN port.
3. On the N2600 Series Decoder, connect the HDMI OUT to the display.
4. Connect a USB 2.0 device to the Decoder’s USB Standard-A ports (they can be
plugged into either port).
5. Using N-Able, click the Unit Management tab.
6. Click the Auto Discover button to discover your new devices (if you have not
already done so).
7. Once discovery is complete (and you see the new units listed in N-Able), click
the Video Matrix tab.
8. On the matrix, click the common cell for the desired Encoder/Decoder streaming
combination. See the screen shot below for an example.
9. Click the Take button to make the change to your matrix. The radio button
turns green to indicate the connection was successful.
