Auxiliary Connections

Video Output – This connection can be used to connect a local monitor to playback files directly from the

DMR160 or to use the On Screen Menu to control the unit.

Stereo Audio Output – use the two line level stereo audio outputs when playing back files audio portion

of the recorded material on the display. These can be routed to local speakers or back into the main

videoconferencing audio system.

allows a remote switch (contact closure) to control the start / stop function of the DMR160. This is the

same as pushing the record (REC) button on the front keypad.

RS-232 – This standard serial DB9 connector allows connection for serial control (note: a null-modem

serial cable is required).

USB – The USB port on the back of the unit can be used for upload or offload of video content and for

network configuration of the DMR160.

Network Setup

Use this procedure when you first purchase the DMR160 and when you are ready to install the hardware

at your site.

How to Assign an IP Address

IP addresses may be assigned to the DMR160 by two ways: DHCP and Fixed (Static) IP. If your network

is configured for DHCP, the IP address will be provided automatically and will be visible on the video

output of the DMR160. To set a Fixed (Static) IP address, see the procedure below for setting fixed or

static IP addresses.

Setting the IP Address

1. Connect the Ethernet cable and power up the DMR160.

2. On your Internet browser, enter the current IP address of the DMR160. (Note: If the unit has

factory settings, the default static IP address is:

192.168.1.253 /24)

3. Login to the DMR160 using the procedure shown below in the Logging In section.

4. Navigate to the network settings page by selecting IP Settings.

5. To allow the DMR160 to pick up an IP address, set the DHCP Client checkbox to Enabled.

Navigate to the Info section and click on the Reboot button to reboot the unit. The

DMR160 will now have the new IP address. To find out the newly assigned IP address,

connect a monitor to the video output. The new IP address is displayed in the upper left

corner of the video output signal.
