Quasar CP-3211/CP-4221 User and Installation Guide Electrical Safety Notice and Warnings Warning: 1. Read the installation instructions before you connect the unit to a power source. 2. Electrical safety should always be observed. All electrical connections must be performed by a certified electrician. 3. Use the supplied power supply and protect against static electricity, ground faults and power surges. 4.
Document Information Minimizing EMI and RFI When wires run for a significant distance in an electromagnetic field, electromagnetic interference (EMI) can occur. Strong EMI (e.g. lightning or radio transmitters) can destroy the units and can pose an electrical hazard by conducting power through lines and into the system. Poor quality or worn wiring can result in radio frequency interference (RFI). To minimize the effects of EMI and RFI, consult your reseller.

Using the DNA Utility to Search and Access the Camera 6 Using the DNA Utility to Search and Access the Camera 6.1 Introduction The DVTEL Network Assistant (DNA) is a user-friendly utility that is designed to easily discover and configure DVTEL edge devices on a network. The DNA tool has a simple user interface and does not require any installation. The software is provided as a single, standalone executable. It runs on any PC.
Quasar CP-3211/CP-4221 User and Installation Guide 6.2 Quick Start 1. Install and run the DNA application on a computer connected to the network. The software is an .exe file supplied in a zip file together with an Online Help file (.chm). 2. Extract both files from the zip file, and place them together in a new directory. Both files should have the same name, but different extensions (.exe and .chm). 3. Upon launching the tool, DNA automatically discovers all devices on the network.
Using the DNA Utility to Search and Access the Camera The Navigation Bar contains tabs for all the actions needed to configure and manage attached devices. If no devices have been discovered, all the tabs are gray (disabled). After a device has been discovered, the tabs for functions which it supports are enabled and colored, as seen in the following Figure: To define the device on which to perform an action, the user must select the device from the Discover List.
Quasar CP-3211/CP-4221 User and Installation Guide 6.6 Configuring Communication Settings on the Quasar Camera To configure communication settings on the camera: 1. Connect the camera to the network on the same VLAN/LAN as the workstation. 2. If the network supports the default, open DNA utility by running dna.exe which can be found in the DNA Utility folder in the supplied CD, or click the DNA icon . Note: DNA is an alternative software to Device Search. Either of these programs may be used. 3.
Using the DNA Utility to Search and Access the Camera 7. Right-click the camera whose network property is to be changed. From the menu that opens, select Network Setup. The Network Setup dialog is displayed. Figure 21: DNA Assign IP – Use DHCP Dialog Box Tip: Record the camera’s MAC address for future reference. 8. To access DNA, do one of the following: a) For DHCP (not supported by Latitude): i. Select Use DHCP. Do not use for Latitude. ii. Click Update and wait for status.
Quasar CP-3211/CP-4221 User and Installation Guide Note: It is strongly advised that administrator’s password be altered for security reasons. b) If the Information Bar (just below the URL bar) prompts for permission to install the ActiveX Control for displaying video in the browser (see the figure below), rightclick on the Information Bar.
