Affected Products:

• SVSI N2600 4K Series

Summary:

• A feature request was submitted by an integrator to expand the multicast configuration options for the N2600 series hardware platform.  In historical firmware configurations, users were restricted when defining network stream parameters, only possessing the ability to modify the final two octets of the H.26x multicast stream IP addresses.
   
• For massive local network architectures with rigid, pre-allocated IP frameworks, this limitation caused deployment conflicts.  Integrators required full, comprehensive flexibility across the address mask to match existing network schemes without overhauling pre-programmed equipment groupings.  Engineering accepted the feature enhancement and officially implemented full octet range selection starting in firmware version v2.0.1.

Troubleshooting:

• To confirm if a deployment has access to full multicast IP address tailoring or to resolve binding limitations:
  
   

1. Check Active Firmware: Access the device profile via the web configuration interface or a network management utility to verify the system's firmware baseline.
    
2. Review Multi-Octet Configuration Options: Navigate to the Network Streaming / H.26x Settings tab.  If the user interface restricts modifications strictly to the third and fourth octet spaces of the destination stream address, the unit is operating on legacy firmware.
    
3. Apply Firmware Feature Patch: Upgrade the N2600 encoders and decoders to firmware version v2.0.1 or higher.  This distribution removes the address input masks, enabling full configuration across the last two octets to fit targeted site schemes.
