Automatic Point-to-Point Connectivity
Point-to-point connectivity enables a DM NVX encoder to be connected directly to a
DM NVX decoder to stream video, audio, and USB. Rather than being connected to an
Ethernet switch, a 1000BASE-T Ethernet port of an encoder is connected directly to a
1000BASE-T port of a decoder. By default, point-to-point mode is enabled (set to
Auto)
and can be disabled if desired.
When point-to-point mode is enabled, no additional configuration is required for the
encoder or decoder to operate in point-to-point mode; however, the operating mode of a
DM-NVX-36x(C) device must be set correctly. If the device is to function as an encoder,
the operating mode must be set to
Transmitter. If the device is to function as a decoder,
the operating mode must be set to
Receiver. For information about setting the
operating mode of DM-NVX-36x(C) devices, refer to
Encoding and Decoding
Functionality.
To enable or disable point-to-point mode, use the web interface or SIMPL Windows as
discussed in the following sections.
Using the Web Interface
Enable or disable point-to-point mode by clicking the Settings tab and then clicking
System Setup.
In the Point-to-Point Control section, Point to Point Status indicates whether point-to-
point mode is
Active or Inactive.
In the Point-to-Point Mode drop-down list, select either of the following:
• Auto: (Default setting) A 1000BASE-T port of a DM NVX encoder detects a
direct connection to a DM NVX decoder or a connection to a 1000BASE-T switch.
Similarly, a 1000BASE-T port of a DM NVX decoder detects a direct connection
to a DM NVX encoder or a connection to a 1000BASE-T switch. If a direct
connection between an encoder and decoder is detected, point-to-point mode is
automatically enabled.
• Disable: Disables point-to-point mode
