SerVision MVG 400 System Guide

Installing the MVG 400 System 25

NOTE: For information about configuring and using the CCTV monitor, see Configuring a

CCTV Monitor (TV-Out), page 54; Viewing Video on a CCTV Monitor (TV-Out),

page 152.

To connect a CCTV monitor:

1. Install the monitor in its desired location.

2. Connect the Video In connector of the monitor to the TV-Out connector of the

MVG 400, using a cable with an appropriate connector (BNC or RCA) for the Video-In

connector of the monitor on one end, and a BNC male connector on the other end.

Note: If you are using a standard television set as a monitor, use the television’s AV

connector as the Video Input connector.

Connecting a Switch

If you wish, you can connect a switch to the unit to change the display on the monitor. The

switch must be connected to the Sensor 4 (In4) connector. For additional information, see

Connecting Sensors, page 17; Configuring a CCTV Monitor (TV-Out), page 54; Viewing

Video on a CCTV Monitor (TV-Out), page 152.

Connecting Multiple Monitors

If you wish, you can connect multiple CCTV monitors to the MVG 400. For example, you

may wish to have one monitor beside the driver’s seat and another beside the conductor’s

seat.

To connect multiple monitors, you must use video splitters to split the connection. Bear in

mind, however, that the image quality in each of the monitors will be slightly degraded. To

correct this problem, you can use a video amplifier (booster) for each monitor. To ensure you

have the correct equipment, consult a video equipment supplier.

Setting Up Network Connections

The MVG 400 has a built-in router. This router manages a small local network (LAN) that

can include up to four devices – the video gateway itself and up to three other devices. For

example, you could connect a PC and an IP-based cash box to the router, and they would all

be part of the MVG 400’s LAN.

The built-in router is also used to connect the internal local network to other, external,

networks, such as the internet or a cellular network. This makes it possible to access the

MVG 400 and the other devices connected to the router remotely. In addition, if a PC is

connected to the MVG 400’s router, it can access the MVG 400 directly, even when no

external network connection is available. The router can connect to more than one external

network at a time.

Because the router is part of both the internal LAN and one or more external networks, it has

two types of IP addresses:

• Local IP: An IP address on the internal LAN. This IP address identifies the router within

the network that it manages. It is static (fixed) and is

172.20.233.1.
