Installation

This section covers how to install and connect the product. It also provides safety information and other guidance related to installing the product.

Don’t void your warranty!

Caution
This product is for indoor use. Do not install it outdoors or in a humid environment without the appropriate protective enclosure. Do not allow it to come into contact with any liquid.
Do not install or operate this product if it has been dropped, damaged, or exposed to liquids. If any of these things happen, return it to Vaddio for safety and functional testing.

Cabling notes

Best practices for making cables:
n
Use Cat-5e or better cable. We recommend shielded cabling if the cables will be coiled, run tightly with other cables, or placed close to sources of electromagnetic interference such as power lines or fluorescent light fixtures.
n
Use high-quality standard RJ-45 connectors; 568B termination recommended.
n
Use a high-quality crimping tool.
Caution
When building cables for Vaddio products, do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors. If they are crimped incorrectly, they can cause intermittent connections and degrade signal quality. Incorrectly crimped pass-through connectors can also damage the connectors on the product, which will void your warranty.
Intact – will make reliable contact with the cable connector
Caution
Check your cables. Connecting a cable to the wrong port or using the wrong pin-out can result in equipment damage and will void the warranty.
Pro tip
To prevent tragic mishaps, label both ends of every cable.
Damaged – Bent contact fingers will NOT make reliable contact with the cable connector

Initial device set-up and system administration tasks

Vaddio devices have a web interface for initial device set-up, administrative control, and operation.
When any Vaddio product is shipped from the factory, there is no admin password and the administrative controls are not available. You will need to access the web interface and set the admin password. You will then have access to the system administration tasks to define how the device behaves as an element of your network.

Initial device set-up using the Vaddio Device Controller

The Vaddio Device Controller is a stand-alone tablet for working with Vaddio products' web interfaces.
To complete the initial device set-up with the Vaddio Device Controller:
1. Connect the touch-panel to the network on the same subnet as the products you need to work with – for example, connect both to the same PoE+ switch.
2. Go to the touch-panel's Configuration page (gear icon)and select Scan.
3. Locate the device you need to work with, and select Use.
4. Select Exit to leave the Configuration page and open the device's web interface.
Note
The first time you access a device at a specific IP address, the Vaddio Device Controller's screen may remain blank for 20 seconds or more.
5. Set the admin password.
If the Vaddio Device Controller does not find the device, verify that the Vaddio Device Controller and the device are connected to the same subnet.

Manual access and initial device set-up

If you do not use a Vaddio Device Controller or the Vaddio Deployment Tool, you will need to complete the initial device set-up manually, which requires you to discover the device's IP address and browse to the device's web interface.

Getting the device's IP address

To discover the device's IP address, press the IP button near the USB connector. The IP and MAC addresses are displayed in the stream and video output from the device. Press the button again to dismiss the information.

Dismissing the data display

To clear the display, press the IP button, or use the Data Screen On/Off control on the System page.

If the device is at 169.254.1.1

This is the device's default IP address. This means one of these things:
n
The device is not connected to the network – check the cable connected to the Ethernet port.
n
The network does not automatically assign IP addresses, and you need to configure the device for the network.
To communicate directly with the device, connect a cable from your computer's network port to the device's Ethernet port. You do not need to disconnect other devices.
After completing the initial device set-up, you will need to configure the device with a static IP address. Work with your network administrator.

Initial access to the web interface

Enter https:// followed by the device's IP address in your browser's address bar.
Before the product is configured, HTTP access is disabled. This is also true after restoring factory defaults. If you access the web interface using HTTP, you may encounter this message:
Switch to HTTPS if you see this message.
7
Page 12
Complete Manual for the AV Bridge Nano Audio Video Encoder
Expect a security warning from your browser the first time you access the device's web interface.
Different browsers will respond with different messages and options. Your browser will probably present a message indicating one of these things:
n
The connection is not private
n
The site is not secure
n
The site is not trusted
n
The site poses a security threat
This is because the certificate (the product’s website security credential) is self-signed rather than being issued by an external certificate authority. The HTTPS connection is secure and traffic is encrypted.
You will need to make the selections that your browser’s security message discourages.
Depending on the browser, the warning presents an option to learn more, view details, or go to the “Advanced” page. When you select this, your browser provides an explanation and a button or link to continue to the IP address you entered, with a reminder that it may be unsafe. Select the option to continue. Your HTTPS connection is safe.
After you have accessed the product’s web interface once, your browser may remember its IP address and not present the security message again.

Setting access to the web interface

Set the admin password. If there are other tasks on the page (such as reading and accepting policies and agreements), complete them also.
Note
This page may include a link to the company’s standard privacy policy. This product does not record or save audio or video files, and it does not store any identifying information other than what you may choose to enter on the Room Labels page of the web interface. However, the device’s IP address is considered “personally identifiable information” for the purposes of the privacy policy.
Note
Be sure you have a way to remember the admin password. We cannot reset it for you. If the password is lost, you will need to restore factory defaults.
The full administrative interface opens when you finish.

Administrative tasks are on these pages of the web interface:
n
Networking – Network configuration, time zone and NTP server
n
Security – Passwords, guest access, other IT security-related settings
n
Room Labels – Helpful information to display in the web interface
The screen shots in this chapter may look different from your device's web interface. Some may be from other products within the same product family, and may lack features that your device offers or show features that are not available on your device.

Configuring access and other security settings

SECURITY PAGE
The Account Passwords and Web Server areas of the Security page provide basic security for the web interface:
n
Admin Password – Required for access to the admin pages of the web interface and for CLISH access to the device.
n
User Password – Allows password-protected access to the non-administrative operator’s web interface.
n
Automatically Expire Idle Sessions – Logs you out after 30 minutes of inactivity.
n
Allow Guest Access – Allows access to the non-administrative operator’s web interface without a password. This also allows people to control the device using the Vaddio Device Controller.
Other security settings include:
n
Allow CLISH over Telnet and Allow CLISH over SSH – For security reasons, access to the Command Line Interface SHell is disabled by default.
n
Allow Zeroconf DNS-SD Discovery – Allows other Vaddio devices and tools to detect the device. Enabled by default

Configuring a static IP address for a device currently at 169.254.1.1

If the device is currently at an IP address other than 169.254.1.1, skip this section.
By default, the device is set to DHCP, and will receive an IP address automatically if your network assigns IP addresses. However, if no DHCP server is available to automatically assign an
address, the device uses its default IP address of 169.254.1.1. Other devices may default to the same IP address. If you install more than device on this network, you must follow this procedure to prevent IP address conflicts.
Caution
Consult your IT department before editing network settings. Errors in network configuration can make the device inaccessible from the network. Do not change DHCP/Static addressing, IP address, subnet mask, or gateway unless you are very familiar with the characteristics and configuration of the network where you install the device.
To access the device's Networking page after initial device setup:
1. Leave the device connected as for initial device setup.
2. Log in to the web interface as admin, if you have not done so already.
3. On the Networking page, set IP Address to Static; then enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway as directed by the network specialist. You will need to log in again after saving your changes.
The device is now ready to be connected to the network.
10
Page 15
Complete Manual for the AV Bridge Nano Audio Video Encoder

Changing from an automatically assigned address to a static IP address

NETWORKING PAGE
In a network that assigns IP addresses automatically, the device's IP address may change from time to time. Setting a static IP address will keep this from happening,
You may wish to change the IP addresses of other connected equipment to static addresses as well. The process is the same for all Vaddio products with web interfaces.
1. Consult your network specialist to determine what the IP address should be.
2. Set the IP address to Static. If this is the only change you make, you will not be logged out.
3. If necessary, enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway that your network specialist instructs you to use. You will need to browse to the new IP address and log in again.

Changing the device's hostname

NETWORKING PAGE
If your network supports hostname resolution, you may find it convenient to change the device's hostname to something easy to remember. This allows you to access the device by its hostname instead of its IP address – for example, by entering https://ginger to open the web interface of the device named ginger.
Work with your IT department to ensure that the new hostname conforms to the organization's naming conventions.
11
Page 16

Specifying time zone and NTP server

NETWORKING PAGE
Using automatic NTP updating ensures that the timestamps in the device's diagnostic log are accurate. Specifying your time zone may make it easier to match logged events with other actions and external events.
1. To make the time zone and NTP server editable, enable Automatic NTP Updating.
2. Select the desired time zone from the list.
3. Optional: Specify the NTP server to use. If you are not sure about this, use the default.
4. Save your changes.
5. To update the system time immediately, select Refresh. Otherwise, the time will update the next time the device contacts the NTP server.

Adding room information

ROOM LABELS PAGE
Enter information about the location of the equipment and the local IT or A/V help line. This information will be displayed on all pages of the web interface and in the Location column of the Vaddio Deployment Tool.

Command Line Interface SHell (CLISH) reference

The Vaddio Command Line Interface SHell (CLISH) allows an external device such as an AMX or Crestron presentation system to control the device.

Requirements

n
SSH (recommended) or Telnet must be enabled on the Security page of the device's web interface.
n
Your computer or third-party control system must have a suitable SSH or Telnet client. If using Telnet, port 23 is used.
n
Your computer or third-party control system must be able to connect to the device over the network.
When you start a CLISH session, you must log in using the admin account.

Usage notes

n
The > character is the command prompt.
n
In addition to the control commands, session management commands are available – help, history, and exit.
n
CTRL-5 clears the current serial buffer on the device.

Getting more information

Use a question mark as a command or command parameter to display a list of available commands, subcommands, or command parameters. For example, ? returns all top-level commands; network ? returns the valid subcommands for the network command; and network ping ? returns the parameters available for the network ping command.
Firmware updates sometimes implement new command parameters. We do not update the manuals for every firmware update. Querying will help you discover any command parameters that have been added since the last update.

Troubleshooting and care

If the equipment does not power up as expected, use this table to determine whether to call Vaddio Technical Support.
Note
If the equipment behaves in a way that suggests even a remote possibility of a bad cable, please try a known good cable with the same pin-out. Factory-made cables can be defective. Cables can appear to be good but only work part of the time. A cable may pass a standard continuity check but be unable to pass enough power to the connected device. Crimping tools can crimp unevenly, contacts can break internally, and individual conductors in the cable can break inside the jacketing material. Any of these can result in a cable that passes a continuity check but does not work reliably.
(The author would like to confess having made more than a few almost-good cables. It happens.)
What is it doing? Possible causes Check and correct
Nothing. The buttons do not light up.
Unable to access the web interface.
Unable to access the device's stream.
Power is not connected. Check the connections from the wall
outlet to the power supply and from the power supply to the device.
The wall outlet is not active. (Check by finding out if it powers something else, such as a laptop or phone charger.)
The device or its power supply is bad.
The device is not connected to the network.
The device is not at the IP address you browsed to.
Streaming is not enabled on the device.
The desired stream type is not selected.

Device's IP Address. If it is
169.254.1.1, see Configuring the
Device for Your Network.
Log in to the device's web interface as admin and enable the appropriate stream.
Select the appropriate stream in the web interface.
Aconnected HDMI source is not working.
IP and MAC address appear in video output
No power to the HDMI source. Check the power connection.
HDMI cable not connected correctly.
Acable is bad. Check using a known good cable.

Rebooting

SYSTEM PAGE, FIRMWARE TAB
This can help if the device stops responding as you expect.
In the System Utilities section, select Reboot, then confirm. You will need to log in again after the reboot.
If rebooting the device doesn't fix the problem, you may need to restore factory defaults. Before you take that step, back up the configuration.

Restoring factory defaults

This operation returns the device to its original state.
n
Any settings you have customized will be lost.
n
Anyone who is logged in to the web interface is logged out.
n
You will need to do the initial device setup again to be able to communicate with the device.
To save and restore your customized settings, export the device configuration before restoring factory defaults. See Exporting and Importing Configuration Data. Then import the configuration after completing the initial device configuration. Device behavior settings are preserved in the configuration file; identity settings such as passwords, device hostname, and IP streaming path and URL are not.
You can restore factory defaults from the web interface, CLISH, or using the device's IP button.
To restore factory defaults from the web interface:
1. Go to the System page.
2. If you have customized the device's room label or behavior settings and will want to restore them, export the configuration.
3. Select Restore Factory Settings.
4. A confirmation message informs you that the action cannot be undone. This is your cue to make sure you have successfully exported the configuration before you confirm.
39
Page 44
Complete Manual for the AV Bridge Nano Audio Video Encoder
To restore factory defaults using the IP button:
1. Disconnect power.
2. Then hold down the IP button while reconnecting power, and continue to hold it for 15 seconds.
The device returns to factory defaults and reboots.
If you hold down the IP button for more than 45 seconds, there is a small but nonzero risk that a portal may open in the space-time continuum. If this occurs, please exercise good judgment. Vaddio is not responsible for what happens next.
When the process is complete, you will need to access the web interface and complete the initial device set-up and any other configuration that may be needed.

Glossary

B
bandwidth
Data transfer rate (bits per second) for the stream. In some cases, using a high bandwidth can slow down other network traffic. On networks with very low bandwidth, video issues may result. Streaming at a lower resolution or frame rate can reduce bandwidth usage.
D
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A network management protocol that assigns an IP address to a device automatically when it is connected to the network.
F
far end
(conferencing) A location in the conference other than the one where you are. Far-end video is what you typically see in a conference – the people at the other end of the call.
Complete Manual for the AV Bridge Nano Audio Video Encoder
felis catus
What the internet is made of.
G
gateway
Network information automatically assigned in a DHCP network. If installing equipment on a non-DHCP network, get this information from the network administrator.
