1: Overview
About the S1700e Series
The S1700e series devices are for indoor use only.
Each device is configured to interface, right out of the box, with the most
popular camera data port configuration (4800 baud, 8 data bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit).
The S1700e series currently holds a single transmitter, the S1700e-T. It
offers the following features:

Configuration
The configuration steps to execute are:
Assembling the power-over-Ethernet kit (on the PoE devices only)
Setting a series of parameters, including the IP address
Establishing a point-to-point connection between a receiver and a
transmitter, if required
Page 19
Nextiva S1700e Series Installation Guide
Assembling the PoE Kit
You use the supplied power-over-Ethernet (PoE) kit to power the
S1700e-PoE device and establish the Ethernet connection. The kit
contains two items: an injector and a power cord.
Warning: On a PoE device, never connect an external power supply in
the DC Pwr poles on its back.

3. Plug the other end of the cable into the DATA & PWR port of the
injector.
4. Connect a second Ethernet cable (straight-through or crossover) into
the DATA port of the injector.
The crossover cable is to directly connect the device to a computer;
the straight-through cable is to integrate the S1700e on a network.
Note: The maximum length of this cable is 82 feet (25 meters).
5. Connect the other end of the second cable into an Ethernet device
Page 22
2: Configuration and Installation
Preparing a 12V DC Device
To prepare a 12V DC device for configuration:
1. In a lab, unpack the S1700e and place it on a table.
2. Establish the Ethernet connection by plugging a cable (crossover or
straight-through) into the LAN 10/100 connector on the front of the
device.
The crossover cable is to directly connect the device to a computer;

Setting Device Parameters
The first step in installing an S1700e device is to change its IP address to
ensure compatibility with an existing network. Write down the IP
information in the form located at the end of the guide, on page 27.
To set the parameters of a device:
1. Ensure that the device has power and is connected to the network.
2. Start SConfigurator.
Page 24
2: Configuration and Installation
3. In the General tab, click Program Options.
The Program Options window appears.
Page 25

8. Select the unknown device, then click Configure. In the Reconfigure
unit? confirmation window, click Yes.
The New Network Configuration window appears.
Page 27
Nextiva S1700e Series Installation Guide
11. In the Units tab, click Discover.
The new S1700e device appears.
12. Select the device, then click Configure.
13. Configure the serial port parameters to match those of the target
equipment (for instance, camera or PTZ keyboard).
For more information, refer to the SConfigurator User Guide.
The S1700e initial configuration is now complete.
Page 28
2: Configuration and Installation
To perform a point-to-point connection:
1. Start SConfigurator.
2. In the Units tab, discover the desired devices.
The discovered devices appear in the Units box.
3. Select the Connections tab, then click Add.
The Connection Creator window appears.

4. Select a transmitter in the left column and a receiver in the right one.
In the Transmitters column, you have access to the two encoders of
each input; the video stream is the same for both. Stream1 is
typically reserved for web viewing, therefore you should use Stream2
for point-to-point connections.
5. In the Video list, select the desired video mode.
6. To disable I/O data transmission (for example, alarms) between the
two selected devices, clear Forward I/O.

Installation
When your device is successfully configured, it is ready to be installed in
its final location.
If your S1700e device is powered using PoE, you can use the two DC Pwr
poles on the back of the device to power a camera. The supply voltage of
the camera must be 12V DC +/- 10%; its maximum power consumption
must be 5W (417 mA).
Page 31
Nextiva S1700e Series Installation Guide
4. If required on a PoE device, connect the power wires of a camera to
the DC Pwr poles on the connector on the back of the device.
