STEP 2 CONNECTING DECODERS TO THE NETWORK
The digital connection from a Decoder DVI-D port (female) to a display is accomplished using either a DVI-D
cable or HDMI (through adapter). N2000 units support embedded audio input and output on the DVI ports;
however, some display devices (e.g., many monitors) do not support embedded audio. When using such a
display, use the AUDIO port for separate transmission of sound and turn HDMI Audio off (on the Settings
page) to avoid video display issues.
Power is supplied via a PoE-enabled switch or an external power supply. The N2211 is not a PoE device and
must be powered by an external power supply. Refer to the following steps and
Figure 2-5 for guidance.
1. Using a Cat-5 cable, connect your SVSi Decoder’s P0 port to a PoE-enabled switch. This
provides both network and power connection. In non-PoE applications connect a 12V
regulated power supply (N9312) to the two-pin terminal block plug connector (labeled +12V
2A).
2. Connect the display you would like to use for that Decoder (monitor, projector, etc.) to the
Decoder’s DVI-D Output port using a DVI cable (or HDMI through adapter). This must be a
digital video connection.

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until all Decoders are installed on the network.
4. Once the Decoders and displays are connected and powered up, the yellow LocalPlay screen
appears on the displays.
Note: If the yellow LocalPlay screen does not appear, refer to Chapter 5, Troubleshooting
for more guidance.
Note: In order for the unit to receive PoE, it must be connected to a switch or other equipment
that has a PoE PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) port. The N2211 Decoder is not a PoE
device. When using this product, you must also provide power using the 12V external power
supply (included in shipment). PoE does not pass through the daisy chain (P1) port.
