How do I setup Xantech Video Over IP?
The first thing you want to do is plug the switch into your network in the office and find its IP address from the router and log into the switch. Default login is araknis and araknis and it will force you to change the password away from default. You need to enable the IGMP setting.
Enable IGMP Snooping
Choose ADVANCED > MULTICAST > IGMP SNOOPING, then check options as follows:
- Status: Enabled
- Version: V2
- Report Suppression: Enabled
- Unregistered IPMC Forward Action: Drop
- IGMP Snooping Status: Enabled
- Fast Leave: Disabled
- Querier State: Enabled
- Querier Version: V2
- Router Settings > Router Ports Auto-Learned: Enabled
- Click Apply to save these settings
Verify Jumbo Frame
Choose SETTINGS > PORTS, then verify Jumbo Frame is set to greater than 8,000 Bytes. The
default value is 9216 the maximum is acceptable so you do not actually have to change anything herem, I just included for completeness.
Your switch is now ready to use.
When you get to site, just plug all the TX and RX units into the Araknis Switch and plug the video LAN side of the controller into to Araknis switch and the control side of the controller plugs into the main network for control. You can then log into the controller web GUI. You will probably want to set it on a static IP or give it a reservation in the router so that its IP address does not change. You can then use the web based GUI to set the output resolution on the RX units and the EDID you want to send to the sources on the TX unit.
There is a great video you might want to get the engineer to watch before the installation. See https://youtu.be/fLUIQ8KlFOc
