Basic Setup:
1. Remove 1701+ Base and 1701+ Link(s) from packaging.
2. (Optional) Join the adapters together using a password. See Join instructions.
3. (Optional) Connect either NV-EC4BNC or NV-BNCA adapters to cable
infrastructure.
4. Ensure cables are properly terminated before connecting any 1701+ products.
5. Remove all legacy equipment from the cable infrastructure. NOTE: In order to
avoid damage to endpoints, it is important that non-IP devices are not connected
when you connect the 1701+ Base.
6. At the head end, connect the 1701+ Base to the switch and cable infrastructure.
a. (Optional) Connect the 1701+ Base to the power supply. This can be skipped if
the 1701+ Base is connected to a POE switch. (Note: the 1701+ Base can only
draw 30W from a PoE switch)
7. Using CAT5e or higher category cable, connect the endpoint to 1701+ Link.
a. (Optional) If required, connect a power supply to the 1701+ Link. This is
recommended if the endpoint draws greater than 25W.
8. Connect the 1701+ Link to the cable infrastructure. Verify that the Power and
Link LEDs are on.
9. Repeat steps 7-8 for each 1701+ Link being connected to the 1701+ Base.
Join / Factory Reset
By default, all 1701+ devices come pre-joined and ready to communicate with other
1701+. However, it is possible to have a group of 1701+ joined under a unique password
via two ways:
1. Visit our 1701+ Products page at www.nvtphybridge.com to download the 1701+
Configuration Tool.
2. Use the join button to join multiple adapters together.
To use the join button:
(Note: a paperclip or other thin item will be needed to press the join button.)
1. (Optional) If the adapters have already been in use, factory reset them all by
pressing their join button for at least 15 seconds. The LEDs on the unit will
perform 1 slow blink if done correctly.
2. On the 1701+ Base, press the join button for 10 seconds to generate a new
random password. If done correctly, the LEDs will blink slowly 5 times.
3. Make sure the 1701+ Base is connected to the 1701+ Link(s) for next step: (Note:
this step must be done quickly)
a. Press the join button on the 1701+ Base for 1 second. The join LED will start
blinking.
b. Press the join button on the 1701+ Link for 1 second. Both join LEDs will start
blinking rapidly.
c. Repeat step 3 for each 1701+ Link being connected to the 1701+ Base.
4. Once units have been joined locally, test for successful connectivity with desired
endpoints.
5. Connect to local cabling.
