You may rename this file (e.g. adding a date or other descriptive text) if desired. Factory Reset Settings The Reset to Factory Settings button is used to restore all of NVA Family s settings (e.g. video settings, network settings, etc.) to their www.brandywinecomm.com P a g e 13

default configuration. There are two factory reset methods. The first (and default method) method is to reset all settings except for the network settings (i.e. the device IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server, device hostname, and the Zero Configuration Friendly Name keep their current values). This method is selected by leaving the Preserve Network Settings checkbox selected prior to clicking Reset to Factory Defaults. The second method resets all device settings, including the network settings. NVA Family will revert to the default network settings, and will no longer be reachable at the existing IP address. To perform this full reset, deselect the Preset Network Settings checkbox prior to clicking Reset to Factory Defaults. Regardless of which method is used, the device must be restarted at the end of the factory reset process to allow the device to operate with its new settings; a prompt will appear in the Web UI to indicate that the device must be restarted. 14. Network Configuration Page The Network - Configuration page allows configuration of the network settings used by NVA Family. Hostname The default hostname is the product name NVA Family.

Serial Configuration Overview Use this menu to configure NVA Family s two serial ports. For either port select either: Disabled Network Passthrough Remote Serial Interface NVA Family has two serial ports, an RS-485 port (labeled as Serial Port 1) and an RS-232 port (labeled as Serial Port 2). Serial port settings may be configured to allow operation in two different scenarios: NVA Family may act as a network client to a remote system, bridging the local RS-485 port or the local RS-232 port to the remote system (passthrough) NVA Family may act as a network server for a remote system, bridging the local RS-485 port or the local RS-232 port to the remote system (passthrough) A description of each of the available settings is provided, followed by instructions on how to configure these settings to work in each of these scenarios. Speed The Speed selection list specifies the baud rate of the serial port; allowed values are 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200 baud. The default value is 9600. www.brandywinecomm.com P a g e 18

Options The Options text entry field permits the entry of stty (Linux / UNIX command) option flags which will be used for configuring the RS-485 or RS-232 port on NVA Family. For the RS-485 port, it is suggested that the following options should be used: -echo -onlcr (without the quotes). The - echo option disables local echo, while the -onlcr option disables the translation of newline to carriage return/newline characters. For the RS-232 port, it is suggested that the -onlcr option is used. However, the exact options that should be specified will depend upon the device that is connected to NVA Family. Server IP The Server IP value specifies the IP address of the remote server that NVA Family should connect to when the Mode is set to Client Connection. The default value is 127.0.0.1. Server/Client Port The Server/Client Port value is used to specify the TCP port used when NVA Family is bridging a local serial port to a remote system; this value is used in two different ways depending upon the Mode. When the Mode is set to Client Connection, this value specifies the TCP port to which NVA Family will connect on a remote server. When the Mode is set to Listening Server, this value specifies the TCP port on which NVA Family will listen for connections from a remote client. The default value is 8001 for serial port 1 and 8002 for serial port 2, but any valid TCP port number may be used. Note: Care should be used in selecting to choose values which are not already in use on NVA Family (by default, port 80 for the HTTP / Web server, and port 554 for the RTSP server for video streams on an Encoder). Examples Scenario 1: Serial Pass-through / Network Client To configure NVA Family as a network client to a remote system located at 192.0.32.10 on port 6900, so that the local RS- 485 port on NVA Family is bridged for serial pass-through, select the following in the Serial Port 1 (RS-485) settings area: 1. Select the desired Speed and enter the desired Options as described in Scenario 1 above 2. Click Enabled for the Passthrough option 3. Select Client Connection for Mode 4. Type 192.0.32.10 in the Server IP field 5. Type 6900 in the Server/Client Port field 6. Click Apply in the Serial Port 1 area Scenario 2: Serial Pass-through / Network Server To configure NVA Family as a network server listening on port 7500 for a connection from a remote system, so that the local RS-232 port on NVA Family is bridged for serial pass-through, select the following in the Serial Port 2 settings area: www.brandywinecomm.com P a g e 19

1. Select the desired Speed and enter the desired Options as described in Scenario 1 above 2. Click Enabled for the Passthrough option 3. Select Listening Server for Mode 4. Type 7500 in the Server/Client Port field 5. Click Apply in the Serial Port 2 area When two units are connected the Server/Client Port values for the sending and receiving units must match. 21. HD-SDI Configuration The NVA family of encoders will work with high-definition serial digital interface (HD-SDI) with the use of a compatible a/v converter. The following connections have been tested are supported via a converter: HD-SDI to Component HD-SDI to HDMI HD-SDI to composite 22. Troubleshooting If issues are encountered in trying to access NVA Family, including but not limited to Web UI connectivity or streaming video connectivity, please verify that any software firewalls are disabled on the client system that is attempting to connect. If hardware firewalls or other filtering devices are present on the network between NVA Family and the client system, try moving NVA Family device to a new network location that is not filtered by these devices. Live Video Issues If a blue or black screen is seen on the HDMI or Composite output of NVA Family acting as an Encoder, or if distorted video is seen on the Composite output, please check the configuration on the video source. Many video sources (especially DVD players) will use an Auto setting for their HDMI output. If the video source is set to an Auto mode, it may not work properly with NVA Family. While some HDMI sources will configure themselves to match the current configuration specified on NVA Family, not all devices are capable of this functionality (e.g. the Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player WDAVN00). If an HDMI source device does not appear to support this autoconfiguration functionality, then you should manually set the HDMI output of the video source to 720p, 1080i or 1080p, depending on the mode in which you wish to use NVA Family as an Encoder. Also, verify that the Video Input mode chosen on NVA Family matches the output mode of the video source. This can be confirmed using the Video Input Status page in the Web UI of NVA Family. www.brandywinecomm.com P a g e 20

Streaming Video Issues General Audio settings must match on the Encoder and Decoder. If an Encoder has audio disabled, then it must also be disabled on the Decoder. If an Encoder has audio enabled, then it must also be enabled on the Decoder, and the audio sample rate specified on the Encoder must also be matched on the Decoder. Encoder Specific Issues If NVA Family is configured as an Encoder for streaming video, and the video stream is not displayed at the remote stream recipient (e.g. VLC software client), try the following steps: 1. Restart the stream recipient (close and re-open VLC), and reconnect to the Encoder. 2. If step 1 does not display streaming video from the Encoder, then restart the Codec on the Encoder using the Restart button on the Video Settings page in the Web UI; wait approximately 10 to 15 seconds, then re-open the video stream recipient. 3. If the above two steps above do not restore streaming video from the Encoder, then reset the device by power cycling NVA Family (remove the network cable if powered using PoE, or the external power adapter), allow the device to boot up, and try again. Decoder Specific Issues If NVA Family is acting as a Decoder for streaming video, and the video displayed on the monitor has frozen, or if the screen is black with no video, try the following steps: 1. Select a different video source in the Web UI of the Decoder, if different streaming video sources are available on the network. 2. If no additional sources are available on the network, then restart the Codec on the Decoder using the Restart button on either the Video Settings page or the Decoder Settings page in the Web UI, and video should begin to stream again. 3. If the above two steps do not restore video on the streaming Decoder, then restart the Codec on the Encoder, wait approximately 5 seconds, and then restart the Codec on the Decoder. Video should begin to stream again after 10 to 15 seconds. 4. If the above two steps above do not restore video on the streaming Decoder, then reset the device by power cycling the Decoder (remove the network cable if powered using PoE, or the external power adapter). 5. Finally, if video is still not being received on the streaming Decoder, then power cycle both the Encoder and Decoder devices, double-check the menu configuration and try again. www.brandywinecomm.com P a g e 21

23. Reset to Factory Defaults Overview It is possible to reset NVA Family to the factory default values for all settings (e.g. Network, Video, Reference, etc.). This procedure is called a Reset to Factory Defaults (RFD). This can be useful if the network settings have been forgotten, or if settings were accidentally configured on the device which have rendered it inaccessible. There are two types of RFD procedures available: a Network RFD which only resets the network settings and leaves all other configuration values unchanged (such as whether the device is acting as an Encoder or a Decoder, whether it is configured for SD or HD sources, etc.), and a Full RFD which resets all settings on NVA Family. The RFD is performed using a USB storage device and a special cue file. Requirements for the cue file are as follows: In the root of the USB storage device place a the cue file named rfd.txt The cue file consists of a single line of text in the format of <RFD_type>=<RFD_action> The supported values for RFD_type are: all - which resets all device values to factory defaults. network - which resets just the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server values, the Zero Configuration Friendly Name, and the HTTP port and TLS/SSL mode values. The only supported value for RFD_action is 1 No white space characters (space, carriage return / line feed, etc.) may be before or after the RFD_type and RFD_action values If the RFD function completes successfully, the device will automatically reboot and the cue file will be automatically deleted from the USB storage media. In order to perform an RFD on multiple units, the RFD cue file must be re-created on the USB storage media for each unit. A log of the RFD operation is saved to a file on the USB media; the log file name is based on the MAC address of the unit and the current date on the unit (e.g. RFD_log_00F00FC7C869_2009-09-08.txt ). The log may be optionally disabled by adding an additional line to the cue file that reads log=0; it is recommended that logging is left enabled to assist in troubleshooting. This second line must appear after the <RFD_type>=<RFD_action> entry on the first line. If the RFD function did not complete successfully, the device will not reboot and the cue file will not be deleted from the root of the USB storage media. Example 1 To reset all values, create a text file named rfd.txt in the root directory of a USB storage device that contains a single line that reads all=1 Example 2 To reset just the network values, create a text file named rfd.txt in the root directory of a USB storage device that contains a single line that reads network=1 Example 3 To reset all values and to also disable logging of this RFD operation, create a text file named rfd.txt in the root directory of a USB storage device that contains a single line that reads all=1, and a second line that reads log=0 www.brandywinecomm.com P a g e 22

Network RFD A Network RFD will restore just the Network settings to the factory default values, and will leave all other values in their current state. The settings that are reset along with their post-rfd values are listed below: IP Address: 192.168.1.200 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 DNS Server: 192.168.1.1 Device Hostname: NVA Family Zero Configuration Friendly Name: NVA Family HTTP Server Port: 80 HTTP SSL/ TLS Encryption: disabled To perform a Network RFD, create a cue file as described above with a single line of text that reads network=1 (omitting the quotes) in the root directory of a USB storage device. 1. Insert the USB storage device into one of the external USB ports on NVA Family; NVA Family may either be fully booted, or it may be restarted or powered on with the USB storage device inserted. 2. Once NVA Family has finished booting (approximately 1 minute from power-on), the RFD cue file will be read from the USB storage device and NVA Family will attempt to perform the reset to factory defaults. 3. If the RFD procedure is successful, NVA Family will erase the RFD cue file, and it will then automatically reboot itself. 4. If the RFD procedure is not successful, the RFD cue file will not be erased and no reboot will take place. Complete RFD To perform a Complete RFD, create a cue file as described above with a single line of text that reads all=1 (omitting the quotes) in the root directory of a USB storage device. 1. Insert the USB storage device into one of the external USB ports on NVA Family; NVA Family may either be fully booted, or it may be restarted or powered on with the USB storage device inserted. 2. Once NVA Family has finished booting (approximately 1 minute from power-on), the RFD cue file will be read from the USB storage device and NVA Family will attempt to perform the reset to factory defaults. 3. If the RFD procedure is successful, NVA Family will erase the RFD cue file, and it will then automatically reboot itself. 4. If the RFD procedure is not successful, the RFD cue file will not be erased and no reboot will take place. 24. USB Investigate Device (ID) Feature The USB ID feature identifies the unit s network settings and saves them to a log file located on a USB storage device. In the root directory of a USB storage device create a file called id.txt Connect the USB storage device to NVA Family www.brandywinecomm.com P a g e 23

After approximately 60 seconds, the ID operation should be complete and the USB storage device may be removed. A log file will have been saved into the root directory of the USB storage device and may be viewed on a client system. If successful a log of the ID operation is saved to a file on the USB media; the log file name is based on the MAC address of the unit and the current date on the unit (e.g. ID_log_00F00FC7C869_2009-09-08.txt ). If unsuccessful an error message appears in the log file. The cue file is not removed at the completion of the ID operation, so it may be re-used on multiple units without having to re-create the ID cue file. www.brandywinecomm.com P a g e 24
