NHD-300-TX Quickstart Guide
WyreStorm recommends reading through this document in its entirety to become familiar with the product’s features prior to starting the
installation process.
IMPORTANT! Installation Requirements
• Visit the NetworkHD product pages download section at wyrestorm. com
to check for the latest firmware, document versions, and WyreStorm
Management Suite configuration tools.
•Install the latest firmware onto all encoders using the firmware upgrade
section in the Web UI. Full firmware update instructions are included with
the firmware download.
•Certain transport protocols of the NHD-300-TX requires a Layer 2+ or
Layer 3 managed switch network with support for Multicast & IGMP
snooping enabled.
•WyreStorm highly recommends using network switches listed in the
NetworkHD Switch Recommendation Guide. These switches have been
verified by WyreStorm to meet the requirements of a NetworkHD system.
•Configure all network switches to the exact specification of the guides at
wyrestorm.com prior to connecting any NetworkHD devices.
• WyreStorm recommends the use of the NHD-000-RACK4 for installations
containing multiple NetworkHD devices. Use of this product provides an
enclosure to mount and secure all NetworkHD devices in a standard 19-
inch rack frame (EIA-310).

Wiring and Connections
WyreStorm recommends that all wiring for the installation is run and terminated prior to making connections to the switcher. Read through this section in this
entirety before running or terminating the wires to ensure proper operation and to avoid damaging equipment.
IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines
•The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, and
electrical or environmental interference will have an adverse effect on signal
transmission which may limit performance. Steps should be taken to
minimize or remove these factors completely during installation for best
results.
•WyreStorm recommends using pre-terminated HDMI and DP cables due to
the complexity of these connector types. Using pre-terminated cables will
ensure that these connections are accurate and will not interfere with the
performance of the product.
LAN Port Wiring
The NetworkHD 300 Series LAN port is a 1GbE link for connection to a 1000BASE-T Ethernet device port. Refer to IEEE 802.3ab for official guidance on
the Ethernet link. Cables must be tested to 100MHz across the entire link. 1000BASE-T uses the IEC 60603-7 8P8C modular connector.
Installation and Connections
1. Install NetworkHD devices to allow airflow through the product - WyreStorm recommend using the NHD-000-RACK4. The install location should be
dry, well ventilated and guaranteed to maintain the mandatory operating temperature range of the product.
2. Connect sources to the NetworkHD encoders using a HDMI cable from a quality brand such as WyreStorm Essentials ensuring a firm port connection.
3. Connect NetworkHD encoders to the network switch using well terminated and tested category cable, whilst ensuring compliance with IEEE 802.3ab.
1. Log into the web server by opening a web browser and typing in the encoder's IP address. If the NHD-300-TX detects and acquires an IP address from a
DHCP server, you will need to check your network DHCP server's client list to verify the IP given to the encoder.
2. When promted to log in, enter the default password of aadmin.
3. For details on operating the Web UI, visit wyrestorm.com and download the NHD-300-TX's User Manual.
Accessing Web UI
All configuration changes to the NHD-300-TX are performed through the built-in web server. To access the web server follow the steps below. By default,
the NHD-300-TX is set to acquire an IP address from a DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not located by the encoder it will default to a static IP address of
192.168.11.244.
Audio Wiring
The audio connections use a 3.5mm (1/8in) TRS Stereo Jack.

Troubleshooting
Verify that all NHD devices contain the latest version of rmware. This will ensure that all devices are up to date and working at their highest performance
level.
Can't Access the Web UI No Image Appearing on Displays
•If using multicast, ensure the network switch is a supported model and
that all settings have been enabled per the relative switch configuration
guide.
•Ensure the stream URL you are entering into your decoding software/
hardware has the proper syntax.
•Ensure the proper transmission mode is selected through the encoder's
Web UI based on the network hardware and decoding equipment being
used.
•Verify the HDMI source is sending a compatible video resolution and
timing that can be accepted by the encoder.
•Verify all cables are terminated and seated correctly in the encoder,
network equipment and source devices.
•Verify if the NHD-300-TX has been assigned a DHCP IP address from a
DHCP server on your network. If no DHCP server is present the encoder
will default to 192.168.11.244
•Ensure the PC being used to access the Web UI is in the same IP
address range as the encoder.
•Verify if any anti virus, firewalls or policies that could be blocking the
connection.
•Attempt to log in through different web browsers.
