4 Programming FastTrace-R
4.1 Programming Checklist
The following checklist provides an overview of the main tasks required to program a FastTrace-
R and the sequence in which they should be performed:
• Set the unique Site ID and Password for the FastTrace-R and ensure that matching ones
are entered in VideoCentral (refer to Site Details).
• Set the time zone on the FastTrace-R to the time zone of the site location (refer to Date/
Time Settings).
• Ensure all connected cameras are programmed (refer to Cameras and Camera Behaviour).
4.2 Setting the Operational Parameters
The FastTrace-R is factory configured with 'typical' operating values, but to use the FastTrace-R
in an operational environment, its configuration must be modified to use the site names, phone
numbers or network addresses that match the real network.
Once the FastTrace-R settings have been configured, the VideoCentral settings must be
updated to match.
4.2.1 Setting the Network Connection
The ADPRO VideoCentral software will require some basic information in order to connect to any
FastTrace-R site via a network connection. The minimum information that must be configured in
each FastTrace-R is shown below.
To enter the information, go to Database / Administration / Configure Sites, select the Edit
option, then highlight Network in the Communications section.
• Site ID: 9 characters (max) - your name for the FastTrace-R unit
• Password: 8 characters (max)
• IP Address: The TCP/IP network address assigned to each FastTrace-R (this address is
normally assigned by the network manager)
Your IT manager should be able to provide the IP address settings. Once the basic connection
details have been configured and saved, the FastTrace-R is ready to connect via the operational
network.
Note: The default FastTrace-R IP Address is 192.168.1.1.
4.2.2 Setting the Telephone Connection
The basic information needed to use a telephone (dial-up) connection is entered via the
Database / Administration / Configure Sites menu. Select the Edit option, then highlight
PSTN or ISDN in the Communications section:
• Site ID: 9 characters (max) - your name for the FastTrace-R unit
• Password: 8 characters (max)
• Hunt Group: Select from the list (Note: Different modem types must be installed via the
Windows Control Panel)
• Phone Number: Enter the phone number of the modem connected to the FastTrace-R.
