Chapter 2. Installation Step-by-Step Installation Instructions
STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This section provides step-by-step guidance for installing and configuring SVSi equipment on your network.
The steps provided here assume the following to be true:
1. There are PoE switches operational on the network.
SVSi equipment can operate on many different brands of networking equipment. The network
itself needs to meet certain requirements to be able to support an SVSi deployment. These
instructions assume that you have purchased and installed a pre-configured switch from SVSi
or that your existing equipment meets the following physical and protocol requirements:
• Layer 3, also known as “multi-layer”
• Gigabit Ethernet
• IGMP Snooping
• IGMP Snooping Querier (which only needs to be enabled on a single switch within the net-
work)
2. Deployment considerations have been made for the addition of high-speed video.
Our Networked AV solutions provide unsurpassed video and audio quality at bandwidths
appropriate to any network segment or link. Matrix switches as large as 1200x800 have been
constructed on a house network using SVSi’s equipment. Alternatively, many customers
choose to deploy on physically separate networks in order to use low-cost network appliances
but keep video traffic separate from data and voice.
3. You loaded N-Able onto the computer you are using to configure the equipment.
From your host computer, click this link to download N-Able (SVSi’s free setup utility software)
for PC or Mac:
http://svsiav.com/support/resources/software . This software is designed to set
up and control the equipment during initial deployment, however, it is not always the best
solution for production-type or primary user control. Refer to
Control Options on page 33 for
details on the available control options.
Note: To proceed with this installation, the switches must already be successfully connected
to your network. If needed, refer to your product’s documentation for installation instructions.
