DM NVX NETWORK MINIMUM

®

REQUIREMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS

The DM NVX Series network AV solution uses standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet. While no specific
manufacturer or model of Ethernet switch is required, there are minimum requirements that
need to be met for a successful installation.

❚  MINIMUM NETWORK REQUIREMENTS ❚ RECOMMENDATIONS

Network switch Use switches that support 802.1x for endpoint
authentication to ensure that only authorized
›› 1 Gigabit port for every connected DM NVX endpoint
endpoints can communicate with the network.
›› Non-blocking backplane
›› Layer 2 or 3
›› IGMPv2 implemented Use Active Directory® (AD) to centrally manage device
administration credentials
Network switch settings
›› Create an AD group responsible for device administration
›› IGMPv2 snooping enabled ›› Add device administrators to the group
›› IGMPv2 querier enabled ›› Add the group to the DM NVX on the “Device” page
›› Fast-leave enabled (also known as immediate-leave) of the web interface

If DM NVX video traffic will traverse

inter-switch uplinks:
›› The uplinks must have sufficient bandwidth for all encoders and
decoders on the switch. Allocate 1 Gigabit per encoder or decoder
attached to the switch.
›› Uplinks must be properly configured to support multicast traffic

Audio Video Bridging (AVB) is not required for

operation of DM NVX.
