RS-232 Wiring
The NetworkHD devices use a 3-pin or a 4-pin phoenix with no hardware flow 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.
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.
Installation and Connections
1. Install NetworkHD devices to allow airflow through the product - WyreStorm recommends using the NetworkHD rack mounts. 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 Essentials 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 Essentials 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 802.3an (10GbE encoder/decoder port) or IEEE 802.3ab (for CTL, encoder, and decoder 1GbE ports).
5. Optionally connect the LAN port to equipment following the guidance in the LAN Port Wiring section.
6. Optionally connect the encoder/decoder RS-232 port to equipment following the pinout in the RS-232 Wiring section.
7. Optionally connect the Audio In or Out to an audio device following the pinout in the Audio Wiring section.
Setup and Conguration
Audio Wiring
NetworkHD uses three different audio outputs. A 3.5mm (1/8in) TRS Stereo Jack audio connection, a 3-pin phoenix unbalanced audio connection and a 5-pin
phoenix balanced audio connection.
NetworkHD Console Conguration
In addition to the steps below more information on conguration 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 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 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 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. Congure the system as per the instructions in the NetworkHD Installation Guide. Right Click on the NHD-x00-TX/RX to see its available options, including
setting the devices IP address and setting an Alias name. You will also nd other conguration 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 IN1, IN2, etc. This also
applies to decoders, OUT1, OUT2, etc. For example, IN1-Satellite Receiver 1.
5. Upload to the conguration to the NHD-000-CTL by right clicking the CTL in the Other Devices section and selecting Upload.
6. Congure the scaling, 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.
IR TX Port Pinout
Connection for IR TX (transmit) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) mono plug.
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.
Pin 1 TX (Transmit) ---> To ---> RX (Receive)
Pin 2 RX (Receive) ---> To ---> TX (Transmit)
Pin 3 G (Ground) ---> To ---> G (Ground)
Sleeve: Cathode (IR Signal)
3rd Party Device
Pin 1 Left Positve (L+) ---> To ---> Left Positive (L+)
Pin 2 Left Negative (L-) ---> To ---> Left Negative (L-)
Pin 3 Ground (G) ---> To ---> Ground (G)
Pin 4
Right Positive (R+) ---> To ---> Right Positive (R+)
Pin 5
Right Negative (R-) ---> To ---> Right Negative (R-)

IMPORTANT! Installation Requirements
• Do not connect the power supply until all NetworkHD devices are connected to the network switch.
• NetworkHD Series uses DHCP to assign IP addresses by default. In the absence of a DHCP server an AutoIP address will be assigned in the subnet
169.254.0.0/16. Ensure the PC being used for conguration obtains an IP via DHCP or is set to an address in the AutoIP range prior to starting the
conguration process.
• In order to congure 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
NetworkHD 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.
WyreStorm recommends reading through this document in its entirety to become familiar with the product’s features prior to starting the
installation process.
