SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP SECTION 2 Installation and Setup 2.1 What’s in the box Your encoder includes the following: • • • • • BLK-IPE101 encoder 12 V DC power adapter 9-pin terminal blocks (2) Hardware installation kit including mounting brackets (2), screws (4), and wall inserts (2) CD mini disk with application software, software manual, and encoder manual (this document) 2.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP encoder to the LAN for network settings to ensure that your encoder won’t initially conflict with other devices. Your network administrator should also setup WAN (Internet) access to the encoder. If you encounter a problem and need to contact Supercircuits Support, first complete the chart in step 1 about your Computer (PC) and encoder network settings, if possible. Support will need this information to provide assistance. 1.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP The Ethernet adapter data you see by using ipconfig will probably be different from that shown in the example above. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, the IP address is identified as the “IPv4 Address.” NOTE Table 2. PC/Encoder network settings Computer (PC) Encoder IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway CAUTION 2.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP In the example shown above, the message “Reply from 192.168.1.200: ...” indicates that your PC can reach the device with that IP address, and that address is in use. d. Since the ping test of the IP address we tried showed the address was in use, try another number between 1 and 256. For example, let’s ping 192.168.1.201. At the DOS prompt, enter: ping 192.168.1.201 e.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP At a Microsoft Windows computer attached to the LAN subnet where the encoder will be connected, open a Command Prompt window and enter: ping 192.168.0.100 The “Request timed out” response indicates that the IP address is not in use and the encoder can be attached to the network without causing errors. 2.

APPENDIX A: TROUBLESHOOTING APPENDIX A Troubleshooting A.1 Reboot encoder NOTE The reboot process lasts about 2 minutes, during which time the encoder will not respond to the IPAdmin Tool or transmit video to a web browser The encoder can be rebooted in two ways: • • Using the IPAdmin Tool: a. Start the IPAdmin Tool. b. Find the entry for the encoder you want to reboot and click it to select (highlight) it. c. Click the Reboot button and enter the administrator ID and PW. d.
APPENDIX A: TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Disconnect the power (adapter) from the encoder. 2. While pressing and holding down the reset button, power on the encoder. 3. Release the Reset button 5 seconds after applying power. 4. Wait for the encoder to reboot. A.3 Check firmware version Firmware is software embedded in the encoder that determines many of its features and functionality.
APPENDIX B: DIMENSIONS APPENDIX B Dimensions 30 www.sc-black.
APPENDIX C: POWER OVER ETHERNET APPENDIX C Power over Ethernet The BLK-IPE101 encoder supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) in conformance with the IEEE 802.3af standard.
