Introduction
NEX-MC10 is an IP control box that is used as an A/V control device for
controlling, configuring and managing encoders and decoders on the local
area network. It integrates two Ethernet ports and two RS232 ports, offering
integration-friendly control features -- LAN (Web GUI & Telnet). It also can be
used with a third-party controller to provideasimple, flexible control and
management options. It can automatically search and display encoders and
decoders. It is designed to be compatible with the configuration file from PC
configurator (PF-IP Console) and use the imported configuration file to
perform operations on encoders and decoders such as matrix and video wall.

Note:
•Only LAN1 (AV/POE) port supports PoE. You can
connect it to a PoE switch to receive power,
eliminating the need for a nearby power outlet.
•We would recommend that you power NEX-MC10
using either a power adapter or a PoE switch
instead of using both them at the same time. For
example, if you want to use a power adapter,
ensure that PoE function of the connected LAN
port in the switch is disabled or a non-PoE switch
is used.
