AV FOR AN IT WORLD®
Overview
The SVSI NMX-ENC-N2615-WP Encoder Wallplate 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).
Wallplate includes white (WH) and black (BL) faceplate covers.

Installing the N2615-WP Wallplate Insert:
Follow the steps below to mount your new N2615-WP Encoder faceplate inserts.
1. Select either the White or Black set of faceplates insert for the wallplate.
2. Locate the faceplate insert alignment tool.
3. Place the alignment tool around the faceplate where the insert will be applied. (Fig.
2)
4. Remove the adhesive from faceplate insert and place the insert within the
alignment tool. (Fig. 2)
•Ensure the LED and IO are aligned with the face insert correctly.
5. Press inserts firmly into place for several seconds before removing alignment tool.
6. Repeat the above process for the remaining faceplate inserts.

Installing the N2615-WP Wallplate Encoder:
Follow the steps below to mount your new N2615-WP Encoder into an existing three
gang electrical box. The instructions given assume the box is already installed with
Ethernet access running to it.
1. Connect the PoE-enabled Ethernet cable to the rear connector of the N2615-WP
Encoder. This provides both network and power connection to the Encoder.
2. Place the N2615-WP Encoder into the box and secure it with six screws (included
in shipment).
3. Check LEDs for normal display (see the LED table at right).
4. Attach the (customer-provided US model only) front cover plate to the unit to
complete installation.
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 N2615-WP Encoder video stream must be configured to
support jumbo frames. Disable the wireless adapter on your computer (it must be hard-
wired to the switch).

Establishing Connection
N2615-WP 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 N2615-WP Encoder 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. 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:
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 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 configure 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:
1. PC version - http://www.amx.com/products/N-ABLE-PC.asp
2. Attach your N2615-WP 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.
▪Logging in Using N-Able Software
Once the host IP address is configured properly, you can view all discovered units
using the N-Able software. Access the N2615-WP Encoder units from the following
tabs:
•Unit Management tab - N2600 Encoder/Decoder is listed in the Type field.
•Video Matrix tab - N2615-WP 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: N2615-WP Encoder units can be configured 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 N2615-WP Wallplate Encoders and N2625-WP/N2622D Decoders are USB
2.0-capable. By default, USB connections are enabled and configured to follow video
switching. Follow these steps for basic USB 2.0 setup.
1. On the N2615-WP Wallplate Encoder, connect the USB-C port to the computer
to be controlled.
2.
Connect the computer’s video output to the Encoder’s HDMI IN port.
3. On the N2622D or N2625-WP Decoder, connect the HDMI OUT to the display.
4. Connect a USB 2.0 device to the Decoder’s USB Standard-A ports (they should
be plugged into the top 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.
