Installation and Setup Overview

This section introduces a checklist of the actions that you should do in the order shown
to install and configure all of the VNC 325 codecs in the VNM 325 system and to start
streaming data.
NOTE: For best results, and to avoid network disruption, install and setup the system in
the order shown below.
� Familiarize yourself with the signal and power connections on the codec (see “Rear
Panel Features”).
� If desired, mount the units (see “Mounting the Units”).
� Determine the data transport method and system routing that you will use in your
system (see “Planning the System Architecture”).
� Use a computer connected to the Remote port on each unit to configure the network
settings for that unit. Set one encoder in the system as the controller.
See “Configuring Network Settings”.
� Make all remaining connections, including LAN connections, one or more sources, and
all displays (see “Making Remaining Connections“).
� Use a web browser and the network interface to configure the system for the data
transport method selected (see “Configuring Encoders and Decoders”).
