Product Overview
The AMX NMX-WP-N2410 4K60 4:4:4 Windowing Processor functions with the N2400 Series of Video over IP Encoders and
Decoders. The NMX-WP-N2410 is capable of handling multiple real-time 4K60 networked AV streams with no video input or output
connectors – using only a single network port. This is a fundamental shift in the way professional AV technologies have traditionally
addressed windowing, but one that increases capability and flexibility while reducing installation and support costs. With the
NMX-WP-N2410, users can combine up to four HD sources together into a single 4K image, as well as mix 4K and HD sources in
any configuration.
The N2400 Series Windowing Processor is a 1RU rack-mount 4x1 windowing appliance that connects to your N2400 Series Video
over IP network and accepts up to four video streams from AMX N2400 Series Encoders. Each input can be cropped, scaled, and
positioned according to stored presets (such as quad, window-in-window, 3+1, etc.) or in any user-defined configuration. The
combined output video stream is then streamed to one or more N2400 Series Decoders at resolutions up to 4K60 4:4:4. Multiple
4×1 windowing processors can be stacked to give 7×1, 10×1, 13×1, 16×1, or higher capability.
NOTE: For proper operation, all four U ports must be connected to active streams.
IMPORTANT: To avoid creating a network loop, never connect more than one P port to the same network segment.
To achieve larger stacked configurations, additional Windowing Processors can be used as input streams.

Preparing for Install
This section provides step-by-step guidance for installing and configuring equipment from the N-Series product
family on your network. The steps provided here assume the following to be true:
1.
There are switches operational on the network.
N-Series equipment can operate on many different brands of networking equipment. The network
itself needs to meet certain requirements to be able to support deployment. These instructions
assume that you have purchased and installed a pre-configured switch from AMX or that your
existing equipment meets the following physical and protocol requirements:
•
•
•
•
Layer 2 (with IGMP Multicast Protocol), OR 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 network)
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.
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 N-Series 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.
N-Able software has been loaded on the computer you are using to configure the equipment.
From your host computer, download N-Able (our free setup utility software) using this link:
http://www.amx.com/products/N-ABLE-PC.asp
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.
NOTE: For a more detailed requirements list, refer to Appendix B: Minimum Network Requirements on page 33.

Chapter 2: Installing and Configuring the Windowing Processor
Step 1: Discovering the N2410 Windowing Processor
Before using your N2410 unit, it must be configured using the free N-Able device management software. However,
you will not be able to configure units until they are in the same subnet as the host computer. N-Series devices are
shipped in DHCP mode with a default fallback IP address of 169.254.xxx.xxx. The sample steps below show how the
required changes (to the host computer’s IP settings) are made in a Windows environment.
Steps for IP address configuration:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
From the Control Panel > Network and Internet dialog box, select Network and Sharing Center.
Select Change adapter settings.
Select the wired interface connected to your AV network.
Click the Properties button.
Scroll down in the list to the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) option. Highlight it and click the
Properties button.
6. Enable the Use the following IP address option, and enter the static IP address provided to you by your network
administrator.
NOTE: If the computer does not need Internet access, you can simply enter a unique 169.254.xxx.xxx IP address with a
255.255.0.0 subnet mask. Please contact your network administrator if you are unsure of how to configure the existing
interface. If the computer has a statically-assigned IP address, click on the Advanced button. Then click Add to enter a
unique 169.254.xxx.xxx address with a subnet of 255.255.0.0.
Steps for auto discovering devices on the network:
1.
Use the host computer to download and install the latest version of N-Able:
PC version - http://www.amx.com/products/N-ABLE-PC.asp
2. Attach one of the P ports on your N2410 unit(s) to the layer-3 network switch.
3. Disable the wireless adapter on your computer (it must be hard-wired to the switch).
4. Connect the host computer to the layer-3 network switch.
5. Open the N-Able application.
If all devices do not appear automatically in N-Able, click the Auto Discover button on the Unit Management tab.
This issues a broadcast command that will discover all units even if they are not in the same IP subnet.
NOTE: A web server is built into the N2410 and can be accessed directly by typing the unit’s IP address into your web
browser (without the need for N-Able). Internet Explorer is not a supported web browser.
Step 2: Logging in Using N-Able Software
Once the units have been discovered in N-Able, view them on the Unit Management tab. The N2410 units appear on
the following tabs:
• Unit Management tab - Windowing Processor is listed in the Type field (as shown in FIG. 3)..
• Video Matrix tab - N2410 units are found on the N2400 sub-tab of the Video Matrix.

N2410’s four U ports.
FIG. 6 Assigning Streams in N-Able
Configuring IP addresses
For proper operation, you must connect all four U ports to active streams and assign unique static IP addresses for
each of the U ports. These must be in the same subnet as the rest of the system (i.e., host computer, Windowing
Processor, Encoders, etc.).
IMPORTANT: To avoid creating a network loop, never connect more than one P port to the same network segment.
IP configuration changes must be done correctly to avoid any communication disruptions with the N2410 unit.
As mentioned previously, the default IP mode for N2410 devices is DHCP mode. When first connected to the
network, an IP address is assigned automatically based on the network DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found, the
unit will use Auto IP mode.
How IP Address Changes Affect Unit Control
N-Able control is dependent upon the host computer being in the same IP address range as the N-Series devices.
Therefore, before making any N2410 IP address changes, we recommend having two statically-assigned IP
addresses on your computer.
• Configure the first IP address to be in the range of the default N-Series IP settings (i.e., in the 169.254.xxx.xxx
range), AND
• Configure a second IP address in the range of the IP address you are planning to assign to the units (or when
using DHCP, an address within the defined range for your network).
Changing IP Addresses
There are two ways to assign new IP addresses to your N2410 units using N-Able:
• Option 1: Log in to each unit individually and make the changes on the Unit Settings page.
• Option 2: Export a comma-separated value (CSV) file, make changes to all units in the resulting file, and import
the CSV file into N-Able to apply the changes.
Option 1: Assigning IP Addresses Individually (using the Settings page)
1.
2.
3.
4.
Find the unit you wish to change in the control matrix (either on the Unit Management tab or the Video Matrix
tab).
Double-click the unit and log in.
Go to the Unit Settings page and make IP address changes for that unit either by setting a STATIC address or by
enabling DHCP.
Click the Trial Save IP button.

6.
Return to the Unit Settings page through the newly-configured IP address.
Once the Unit Settings page appears (successfully using the new IP address) you can confirm the new address
and lock in your changes.
NOTE: If you lose communication before you are able to confirm the new address, unplug the N2410, wait one minute,
and plug it back in. This restores the unit to the original IP address.
Option 2: Assigning IP Addresses to Multiple Units (using CSV files)
N-Able has the ability to export and import CSV files. Once units are auto-discovered in N-Able, the CSV file can be
exported into Excel where parameters such as IP address, subnet mask, gateway, stream number, audio settings, etc.
can be configured. Once configured, import the CSV file back into N-Able to assign those parameters to the
appropriate devices. This procedure can be used to configure multiple networked AV devices at the same time. It can
also provide valuable diagnostics by allowing you to see the last known device configuration as well as scan the
network for new devices (regardless of IP configuration). To configure units using a CSV file, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that you have performed an Auto Discover (on the Unit Management tab of N-Able) since connecting
all of the new units to the network.
2. From N-Able’s main menu bar, select N-Able > Export CSV. See Figure 7.
FIG. 7 Export CSV File
3.
From the CSV Output Columns window, select the fields you would like to be included in the CSV file. Hold the
<Ctrl> key to select multiple fields.
4. Click Yes on the pop-up box informing you that a CSV file is about to be generated.
NOTE: A CSV file editor (e.g., Microsoft Excel) is necessary to proceed.
5. The folder containing your CSV file displays. Double-click the file to open it.
6. You can use this file to edit the IP mode, IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP address, stream number, etc. Once
all changes have been made, save the file.
7. Go back into N-Able and select N-Able > Import CSV.
8. Browse to your saved CSV file and click Import.
