NHD-SW-0501 Quickstart Guide
IMPORTANT! Installation Requirements!
• Visit the product page to download the latest rmware, document versions,
and the WyreStorm Maintenance Suite conguration tools.
• Install the latest rmware onto all NetworkHD devices in the system.
• NetworkHD requires a Layer 2 managed switch network with support for
Multicast & IGMP snooping enabled.
• NetworkHD uses AutoIP to assign IP addresses in the range of 169.254.x.x
to encoders, decoders and the NHD-SW-0501 out of the box. The use of
DHCP addresses is not recommended. Errors in static IP settings can result
in a complicated reset procedure.
• WyreStorm highly recommends using our recommended switch
manufacturers. Congure all network switches to the exact specication of
the guides at wyrestorm.com prior to connecting any NetworkHD devices.
• Due to the way H.264 compression encodes the video, interlaced video
sources are not recommended. Please use progressive scan sources for
best quality - even at lower resolutions.

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 HDMI
and Ethernet transmission limiting performance. Steps should be taken to
minimize or remove these factors completely during installation for best
results.

Setup and Installation
Installation and Connections
Do not connect the power supply or power on the PoE switch until all NetworkHD device network connections are made.
In order for NetworkHD encoders and decoders to be controlled by the NHD-000-CTL, the AV port on the CTL MUST be connected to the same LAN/VLAN
as the NetworkHD encoders and decoders.
In order for the devices in the system to be controlled via a 3rd party controller, the CONTROL port MUST be connected to the same LAN/VLAN as the
control system.
1. Install NHD devices to allow airflow through the product with at least 1 inch of clearance either side of the product vents. The install location should be dry,
well ventilated, and out of direct sunlight.
2. Connect sources to the NHD-SW-0501 using an HDMI cable from a quality brand such as WyreStorm Express ensuring a rm port connection.
3. Connect the HDMI display to the NHD-SW-0501 using an HDMI cable from a quality brand such as WyreStorm Express ensuring a rm port connection.
4. Connect NetworkHD NHD-SW-0501, encoders, decoders, and CTL to the network switch using well terminated and tested category cable of no more than
100m/328ft.
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 conguration or troubleshooting.
NetworkHD 000 Series Console Conguration
1. Connect a PC to the same LAN/VLAN as the NetworkHD components
and ensure it is within the same subnet/IP range as the components
default 169.254.x.x IP addresses.
2. Power On the NetworkHD devices by connecting the included power
supplies to the Power Input or by powering On the PoE switch.
3. Open the WyreStorm Management Suite (Available from the WyreStorm
website) and launch the NetworkHD 000 Series Console and press
Search.
Note:
If If a no devices are discovered, verify that the PC is in the same LAN/VLAN
and that the IP address of the PC is within the same subnet/IP range as the
encoders, decoders and CTL which by default 169.254.x.x. Also, create an
exception for the Conguration Tool for WyreStorm NetworkHD 000 Series in
the Windows Firewall.
4. Congure the system as per the instructions in the User Reference Guide.
Right Click on the NHD-SW-0501 in the Other Devices section to see its
available options, including setting the devices 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 names Input1, Input2, etc. This also
applies to decoders, Output1, Output2, etc.
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 encoding values of each encoder based on the
requirements of the content.
Accessing the NHD-SW-0501’s Web Interface
1. Open a web browser and enter in the NHD-SW-0501’s IP address
followed by /settings. For example if the switcher’s IP address is
192.168.10.254 enter, 192.168.10.254/settings.
2. Enter in the password, the default password is admin.
3. Adjust any applicable settings such as auto signal switching, pre-out
audio level or the default background image.
ScreenLink
The NHD-SW-0501 comes preloaded with the ScreenLink collaboration software that enables wired or wireless content streaming from any PC or Mac. Follow
the steps below to congure ScreenLink on the NHD-SW-0501.
The ScreenLink installer can be downloaded directly from the NHD-SW-0501.
1. Open a web browser and enter in the NHD-SW-0501’s IP address or visit screenlink.com to download the software.
2. The download page for ScreenLink will appear. Choose the appropriate installer and complete the installation process.
3. For instruction on how to use ScreenLink view the ScreenLink User Guide available for download at WyreStorm.com.

Troubleshooting
Before Performing any of the Following Troubleshooting Steps
• Verify that all NetworkHD devices contain the latest version of rmware.
This will ensure that all devices are up to date and working at their highest
performance level.
• Verify that the latest version of the WyreStorm Management Suite is
installed on your PC.
Download the latest version of the WyreStorm Management Suite and
NetworkHD rmware from the WyreStorm website
NetworkHD Software and/or NHD-000-CTL fail to locate NetworkHD
Devices
• Verify that all NetworkHD and Network devices are powered On.
• Adjust Windows Firewall Settings – Create an exception for Conguration
Tool for WyreStorm NetworkHD 000 Series or disable completely.
• Verify that the PC, the CTL, and NetworkHD encoders and decoders are on
the same LAN/VLAN.
• Verify that all network switches share the same VLAN conguration.
• Refresh the browser and empty the Cache if a refresh fails to remedy the
problem.
• Reboot all system components including the NHD-000-CTL and the PC/
Mac.
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.
Note:
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.All alias
settings for the encoders and decoders will be reset to default settings and will
require reconguration.
No Image Appearing on Displays
• Verify that all NetworkHD, 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.
Decoder Continuously Reboots
• Decoder may be set to DHCP and cannot locate the DHCP server. Connect
the decoder to a DHCP server and recongure the IP settings using the
NetworkHD 000 Series Console.
