Video Server Initial Setup via a Crossover Cable
This section provides a guide on how to connect the NVS to your PC/laptop for initial setup.
Please follow the instructions in the order they appear, without skipping steps. Do not supply power to
the Network Video Server, until instructed.
In order to access the Network Video Server’s firmware you will need to connect the Video Server
directly to a PC or laptop computer via the supplied crossover cable.
1. Before you begin, you must determine the current network/INTERNET (TCP/IP) settings on the PC
or laptop you plan to setup the Network Video Server. Jot down your entries below for quick
reference.
(For information on how to determine your currents settings, see Appendix A)
Current TCP/IP Settings
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
1st DNS Server
2nd DNS Server (opt)
2. In order for the Network Video Server to communicate with your PC, you have to change your PC’s
IP address and subnet mask.
We recommend that you change your IP address to 192.168.1.11 and change the subnet mask
to 255.255.255.0.
Leave all other entries (Default Gateway, DNS Servers, etc.) blank.
(For information on how to change your IP address and subnet mask, see Appendix B)
3. After you have made the changes to your IP address and subnet mask, you may then attach
the Network Video Server to your PC via the supplied crossover cable. Plug in either end of the
crossover cable into the PC’s network card and the other end into your Network Video Server.
4. After connecting the PC and Network Video Server (NVS) using the crossover cable, power on the
NVS by plugging in the power supply shipped with the NVS.
