Power LED 1.8 Power Output Specifications The EV3150A can output 12V DC power to other devices. This can be done via PoE using the RJ-45 port or an in-box power output port. Below are power specifications based on which power output method is used. In-Box Power Output • 12V DC Output – Max.
2 USING THE EV3150A FOR THE FIRST TIME 2.1 Initial Requirements Software Requirements Installation and configuration require the following: • Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP Operating System • Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 or higher Other browsers (i.e. Mozilla Firefox) are not currently supported. Install EtroScan™ EtroScan™ is a utility is used to configure network settings for video servers and other devices (e.g. video servers). EtroScan™ is available via two methods. Install EtroStation™ 3.
2 USING THE EV3150A FOR THE FIRST TIME 2.2 Physical Video Server Connections Connect to the Network Connect the EV3150A to network hub/switch via a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector. Please note that the PC must be on the same network domain as the video server. Connect Digital I/O The EV3150A has 2 digital inputs and 1 digital output. The digital I/O ports are labeled on the device.
2 USING THE EV3150A FOR THE FIRST TIME Properly align the wiring and terminals when connecting; an improper connection can damage the camera. Connect Audio I/O For audio I/O functionality, connect the audio input and output cables. Video flicker may occur when enabling/disenabling audio in and audio out. This situation normally only lasts for a second.
2 USING THE EV3150A FOR THE FIRST TIME Power on IP Camera Connect the power adapter to the power connector. The adapter should be connected to 110v~22OV AC socket. There is no power button on the camera, so connecting/disconnecting the power adapter will start/shutdown the video server. Power Out The EV3150A has the ability to provide power to other devices either via a power line out or PoE.
2 USING THE EV3150A FOR THE FIRST TIME Properly align the wiring and terminals when connecting; an improper connection can damage the camera. Please review the Power Output Specifications in section 1.8 before using. To remove the cable from the digital I/O socket, press down on the wire release and pull the cable. 2.3 Initial Network Configuration To configure the video server’s network settings use the EtroScan™ utility.
2 USING THE EV3150A FOR THE FIRST TIME Using EtroScan™ EtroScan™ allows users to easily find a video server and configure the settings. After installing EtroStation™, EtroScan™ can be accessed via the MS Start button. Select EtroScan™ from the start menu to start.
2 USING THE EV3150A FOR THE FIRST TIME Press the Scan button to list the IP and MAC address list for video servers on the network. To refresh the list, press the Clear Table button and press Scan again. A new video server will display the factory IP address, 192.168.1.2. However, if multiple new devices are present on the network, then multiple instances of 192.168.1.2 will be listed.
2 USING THE EV3150A FOR THE FIRST TIME To identify a specific video server, use the MAC address which is located on the bottom of the camera. Below is an example of the label displaying the MAC address. Please note that a completed RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) form must contain the serial number of the product. For more information, please refer to our website. Change Network Setting via EtroScan™ Using EtroScan™ there are two ways to modify the network settings. 1.
2 USING THE EV3150A FOR THE FIRST TIME After altering the video server network settings, click Apply to apply the changes. A prompt for the administrator authentication will be displayed: The default password for the administrator account (root) is pass. Enter the default password and click OK to confirm the changes. After applying the new network settings, the video server will reboot; this process takes about 45 seconds.
2 USING THE EV3150A FOR THE FIRST TIME 3. Enter the administrator username and password: User name: root Default password: pass Press OK button to access to the Live View web page. Usernames and passwords are case sensitive. The administrator password should be changed after installation is complete. Please refer to the User Manual for more information.
