Connecting an ENC5516
1. Ensure the unit is powered off.
2. Connect the dual-connector end of the DSSRV Data cable (ordered separately) to the unit’s primary capture card.
3. For 4-port connections, connect the dual-connector end of the DSSRV data cable to the unit’s secondary capture card.
4. Connect the other end of the DSSRV Data cable to each ENC5516. Observe the port assignments as follows:
• Primary capture card: The top DSSRV data cable port on the primary capture card is for Encoder 1 (COM ports 3 and 4). The
bottom DSSRV data cable port is for Encoder 2 (COM ports 5 and 6). The primary capture card connects to the 20-pin ribbon
connector slot in 2-port kits.
• Secondary capture card: The top DSSRV data cable port on the secondary capture card is for Encoder 3 (COM ports 7 and
8). The bottom DSSRV data cable port is for Encoder 4 (COM ports 9 and 10). The secondary capture card is the daughter card
that connects to the 20-pin ribbon connector slot in 4-port kits.

5. When you have finished connecting the encoders, turn the unit on.
NOTE: Disconnecting an ENC5516 encoder from the unit while powered might cause the application or operating system to stop
responding. To recover from this error, restart the unit. Video will not record until the unit has restarted. Ensure the screws on the
data cables between the ENC5516 encoders and the unit are fastened to prevent encoders from disconnecting during use.
