Compatibility

The performance of the DV-IP Viewer and HTML Pages is influenced by the specification of

the PC on which they are run. Performance can be maximised by ensuring processor speed,

RAM and the Graphics Card are all of a high specification.

Operating Systems

The DV-IP is supported on Windows 98SE, ME, NT4 SP6, 2000 and XP.

For best performance, set the colour quality on your PC to 16-bit. This can be done in

Display Options> Settings> Colour Quality

ActiveX

By default, the security settings in Internet Explorer will not allow the DV-IP to show images.

In the Security Options of the browser (Tools> Internet Options> Security> Custom

Level) the ActiveX options (the first 5 options in the menu) should be enabled, or set to

prompt at the very least. When set to prompt, confirmation is required each time a page is

updated, or the chosen image view altered.

Web Browsers

The DV-IP HTML Pages are compatible with Internet Explorer for Windows v5.5

onwards, and Netscape Navigator for Windows 4.7x.

Serial Cables

Use only screened cables when connecting to Serial Ports one to four of this equipment.

Ensure that the screen of the cable connects to the equipment chassis through the D Type

backshell and that the backshell is securely fixed to the equipment chassis using both fixing

points. Failure to do so may result in equipment malfunction. A screened RS232 cable is

included with each unit.
