You can use up to eight ASCII characters (no brackets, spaces, or tildes allowed).
5. Configure the Ethernet parameters in the Ethernet section as follows:
6. Select the Use name resolution checkbox if you want to launch EdgeVision Player using
the DATA Ethernet port.
7. Configure the synchronization parameters in the Date and Time section as follows:
Ethernet parameters
Parameter Definition
Management
IP address
The management IP address allows the EdgeVision system to communicate with EdgeVision
Configurator and EdgeVision Player , as well as being the address to forward audio/video
streams generated by EdgeVision.
The device remote control, configuration, and alarm collection features also use this address.
Default value:
192.168.3.31
Network mask Specify the range of IP addresses that reside on the current management IP address.
Default value:
255.255.255.0
Gateway Specify the IP address to use when a device from outside your network attempt to connect to
the EdgeVision system via the management IP address.
Default value:
192.168.3.1
Data IP address Type the IP address for the port that will stream the data to the Data Ethernet port.
The data port connects the EdgeVision device to the IP network to transport IP video/MPEG
data, but you can also configure it to forward of the audio/video streams generated by
EdgeVision.
Default value:
192.168.2.32
Network mask Specify the range of IP addresses that reside on the current Data IP address.
Default value:
255.255.255.0
Gateway Specify the IP address to use when a device from outside your network attempt to connect to
the EdgeVision system via the data IP address.
Default value:
192.168.2.6
Synchronization parameters
Parameter Definition
Date and Time Format Select the format in which EdgeVision displays the date and time.
Time zone Select the time zone where the EdgeVision device resides. The time zone determines
how the time is calculated.
NTP synchronization The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol to synchronize the device clock over the
data network.
• If you enable this feature, the clock time is synchronized with the NTP server. Enter
the IP address in the NTP server IP address field.
• If you disable this feature, you must set the time manually in the New Date and New
Time fields.
NTP server IP address Enter the IP address for the NTP server that synchronizes the clock on this device.
This field only appears if you enable the NTP synchronization feature.
