DV-IP RT

Conguring the Unit

The unit can be congured either on the local monitor or over the network using a PC with Internet

Explorer or similar browser. Both have near identical menu interfaces.

Accessing the menus on a local monitor

1. The Conguration pages can be displayed on a local monitor (connected to BNC

Connector Mon A on the rear of the unit). When connected, press the MENU button on

the IR Remote Control.

Note: If the IR Remote Control does not open the conguration menus, press the DVR button to

make sure it is in DVR mode, then press the MENU button again.

Locating the Unit IP address

The IP address of the unit is required to access the webpages. It can be identied from the

conguration menu pages using the local monitor, press the MENU button on the IR Remote

Control and navigate to the System Settings->System menu to nd the DHCP assigned IP address.

Note:

The unit can be installed in a DHCP network environment where an IP address, subnet

mask and default gateway will automatically be allocated from the network DHCP Server

(DHCP is enabled by default).

Note: If a DNS (Domain Name Server) address is not to be used, it is strongly advised that a

xed IP address be assigned (a DHCP assigned address can change without notication

i.e. following power failure).

If using the 1Gb network capability (network connection via Network port ‘Net 1’) a xed IP

address can be assigned via the Network Settings->1Gb Network menu.

If connected via Network port ‘Net 2’, a xed IP address can be assigned via the Network

Settings->Network menu.

For information on locating the unit’s IP address via a PC and serial port connection, refer to

Appendix D.

Default DNS Address

It is recommended that a DNS (Domain Name Server) address be congured. Assigning a

recognisable name can help a remote user to locate the unit.

If no System name is allocated to the DV-IP RT, the default DNS address will be:

machine serial number.yourdomain.com

• <machine serial number> is displayed in the System menu page

and also on the underside of the unit.

• <yourdomain> is the name assigned to your DNS

network.

The default DNS address can be renamed via the Network Settings->Network menu. Following

renaming, the DNS address will be:

yourname.yourdomain.com

• ’ yourname‘ is the name assigned via the Network

menu.

Note: To activate an assigned DNS address, it will be necessary to reboot the unit. The DV-IP RT

can be rebooted via System Settings:Maintain-> Reset.
