IMPORTANT! Installation Requirements
• Visit the NetworkHD product pages download section at wyrestorm.
com to check for the latest rmware, document versions, and WyreStorm
Management Suite conguration tools.
• Install the latest rmware onto all encoders and decoders using the
Maintenance Tool found in the Management Suite and via the NHD-000-
CTL web interface. Full rmware update instructions are included with the
rmware download.
• NetworkHD 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
veried by WyreStorm to meet the requirements of a NetworkHD system.
• Congure all network switches to the exact specication of the guides at
wyrestorm.com prior to connecting any NetworkHD devices.
• NetworkHD uses stateless address autoconguration (auto-IP) to assign
link-local IP addresses in the range of 169.254.x.x to encoders and
decoders out of the box. Your PC must be set to an address in this range in
order to discover the encoders, decoders and NHD-000-CTL.
• 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).
• If using a mix of HD & UHD resolution displays with differing HDCP versions
and for HDMI 1.4/HDCP 1.4 displays – Ensure the decoder is set to HDCP
1.x by right clicking the unit in the NetworkHD Console and opening the

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 400 Series LAN port is a 1GbE link for connection to a
1000BASE-T Ethernet device port. Refer to IEEE 802.3ab for ocial 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.
IR TX/RX Guidelines
• Using WyreStorm infrared emitters and receivers is the best way to ensure
that most IR coding formats are transmitted and received by the NetworkHD
system. Other 3rd party emitters and receivers can be used; however, these
devices must operate in the same manner as the WyreStorm devices.
• Due to differences in IR across 3rd party control systems their IR ports
should never be connected directly to a NetworkHD system as an
incompatibility may exist. WyreStorm offers a cable that compensates for
voltage differences as well adjusts for differences in the pins used within the
port. Refer to the CAB-IR-LINK product page for more information.
IR TX Port Pinout
Connection for IR TX (transmit) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) mono plug.
Tip: Anode
Sleeve: Cathode (IR Signal)
IR RX Port Pinout
Connection for IR RX (receive) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) stereo jack that outputs
+5V DC to power the included IR receiver.
Tip:
Ring: IR Signal
+5V DC
Sleeve: Ground (GND)
Audio Wiring
The audio connections use a 3.5mm (1/8in) TRS Stereo Jack.
Tip:
Ring:
Left Channel
Right Channel
Sleeve: Ground (GND)
RS-232 Wiring
The NetworkHD 400 Series uses 3-pins of a 4-pin phoenix with no hardware
ow control. Most control systems and computers are DTE where pin 2 is
RX, this can vary from device to device. Refer to the documentation for the
connected device for pin functionally to ensure that the correct connections
can be made.

Setup and Conguration
IMPORTANT! Installation Guidlines
• Do not connect the power supply until all NetworkHD devices are connected to the network switch.
• NetworkHD 400 Series uses stateless address autoconguration (auto-IP) to assign link-local IP addresses in the range of 169.254.x.x to encoders and
decoders out of the box. Your PC must be set to an address in this range in order to discover the encoders, decoders and NHD-000-CTL.
• In order to congure the NetworkHD encoders and decoders, the AV port on the NHD-000-CTL MUST be connected to the same LAN/VLAN and Subnet as the
NHD encoders and decoders.
• In order for the devices in the system to be controlled via a 3rd party controller on a different VLAN, the CONTROL port MUST be connected to the same LAN/
VLAN and Subnet as the control system.
• The NHD-000-CTL’s two Ethernet ports are designed to be used in different Networks or VLANs. When using a single Network or VLAN for example when
using NetworkHD Touch – do not connect both ports – only use the AV port of the CTL.
Installation and Connections
1. Install NHD devices to allow airow 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 DisplayPort or HDMI cable from a quality brand such as WyreStorm Express ensuring a rm port
connection.
3. Connect the HDMI display to the NetworkHD decoders using an HDMI cable from a quality brand such as WyreStorm Express ensuring a rm port
connection.
4. Connect NetworkHD encoders, decoders, and CTL to the network switch using well terminated and tested category cable, whilst ensuring compliance with
IEEE 802.3ab (for CTL, encoder, and decoder 1GbE ports).
5. Optionally connect the encoder/decoder RS-232 port to equipment following the pinout in the RS-232 Wiring section.
Download the NetworkHD Switch Mapping Worksheet from any NetworkHD product page to keep track of Mac addresses, device and alias names for later
reference. This will aid the setup process in NetworkHD Console and help with any reconguration or troubleshooting.
NetworkHD Console Conguration
In addition to the steps below more information on conguration can be found in the NetworkHD Installation Guide.
1. Connect a computer running Windows™ to the same LAN/VLAN as the NetworkHD components and ensure its IP is within the same subnet as the
NetworkHD default 169.254.x.x IP addresses. The NHD-000-CTL AV port is set to a static address of 169.254.1.1 by default – do not choose this address
for your PC.
2. Power On the NHD devices by connecting the included power supplies to the Power Input.
3. Open the WyreStorm Management Suite (Available from the WyreStorm website) and launch the NetworkHD Console software and press Search.
Note: If a no devices are discovered, verify that encoders/decoders, CTL and PC are within the same subnet scope and within the same range of the CTLs AV
Port and disable or create an exception for the NetworkHD Console in the Windows Firewall.
4. Congure the system as per the instructions in the NetworkHD Installation Guide. Right Click on the NHD-400-TX/RX to see its available options, including
setting the device’s IP address and setting an Alias name. You will also nd other conguration options under the Batch Settings window.
Note: If a 3rd Party control system with a WyreStorm driver for NetworkHD is going to be used, the encoders must use the Alias prex IN1, IN2, etc. This also
applies to decoders, OUT1, OUT2, etc. For example, IN1-Satellite Receiver 1
5. Upload to the conguration to the NHD-000-CTL by right clicking the CTL in the Other Devices section and selecting Upload.
6. Congure the scaling and HDCP values of each decoder based on the requirements of the content and display using the settings found in the Video tab in
the Batch Settings screen.
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.
NetworkHD Software fails to locate TX/RX/CTL Devices
• Verify that all NHD and Network devices are powered On.
• Adjust Windows Firewall Settings – Create an exception for NetworkHD
Console.
• Verify that the PC, CTL AV Port, and NHD encoders and decoders are on the
same LAN/VLAN/Subnet.
• Verify that all network switches share the same VLAN conguration.
• Reboot all system components including the NHD-000-CTL and the PC.
• Ensure that only one CTL port is connected per LAN/VLAN. If only one LAN/
VLAN exists only use the AV port.
• Ensure the network switch is fully congured per the appropriate switch
conguration guide.
Failure to Connect to CTL Controller
• Follow the previous steps for failing to connect to devices. If these are
unsuccessful, press and hold the reset button on the front of the CTL for 5
seconds.
• After a reboot the CTL will be returned to the default IP address of
192.168.11.243 for the control port and 169.254.1.1 for the AV port.
No Image Appearing on Displays
• Verify that all NHD, Network, Source, and Display devices are powered On.
• Test sources and displays by connecting them directly together.
• Swap out the HDMI cable
• Connect the power supply to the component rather than using PoE.
• If the display is only HDMI 1.4/HDCP 1.4 – Ensure the decoder is set to
HDCP 1.x by right clicking the unit in the NetworkHD Console and opening
the video settings option.
