SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP Overvoltage and overcurrent will cause severe damage to the encoder. CAUTION 2.5 Install IPAdmin Tool The IPAdmin Tool, included on the CD mini disk, is a utility that will discover cameras and encoders installed on your network and enable you to perform the initial network setup for each.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP configuration. Additionally, if DHCP is not used on your network, DIGIOP Black encoders must be installed on the network and configured with new network settings one at a time to avoid addressing conflicts. Use the following procedure to setup and apply compatible, static, network settings for your encoder.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP Static Option 4. In the IP Setup window, click the Static option bullet to select this option. If you have other compatible network settings you want to apply to the device, enter them in the appropriate locations. Click Setup to save settings. 5. In the Login window, enter the ID and PW (password) for your encoder and click Login. The default administrator values for the ID and PW are root and pass. After entering ID and PW, the IP Setup window closes. 6.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP In networks without a DHCP server, encoders must be powered on and reconfigured one at a time to avoid addressing conflicts between other encoders, or possibly with another device on the network. Configuring the network settings of your encoders includes these steps: —— —— —— —— Determine the network settings of your computer. Check the network for compatibility with the default static network settings of your encoder.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP Table 2. PC/Encoder network settings Computer (PC) Encoder IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway CAUTION If connecting your encoder to an enterprise network, consult with your network administrator for the encoder IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Find network settings (IP addresses) that are not in use 1. At your PC, find an IP address on your network that is not in use: a. Write down the EXACT IP address of your PC up to the third/last period.
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 (i.e., you cannot use it for your encoder). d. Since the ping test of the IP address we tried showed the address was in use, try another number between 1 and 254. 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 Attach your encoder to the network and power it on Apply power to the encoder. When the encoder powers on, it performs an internal initialization, then establishes a connection to the LAN. Wait until the initialization process completes before continuing. It may take up to 3 minutes for your encoder to initialize. Configure the encoder IP address 1. Open the IPAdminTool directory on your computer, then double click the file IPAdminTool.exe to start the application.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP c. Enter the subnet mask for your computer from Table 1 into the Subnet Mask field. d. Click SETUP. A Login window will open. 5. In the Login window, enter the ID and PW (password) for your encoder, then click Login. The default administrator ID and PW are root and pass. After entering the ID and PW, the IP Setup window closes. 6. In the IPAdmin Tool window, click Refresh and verify that the entry representing the encoder now shows the new IP address. 7.
