1 Overview Designed for video monitoring and surveillance over IP networks, the S1700e series edge device is a self-contained solution delivering DVD quality, 4CIF video at 30 frames per second in NTSC (25 frames in PAL) over 10/100Base-T networks. Two compression modes are available: a proprietary MPEG-4-based mode and the MPEG-4 ISO 14496-2 compliant mode. The device can easily be extended over LANs and WANs or the Internet using ISDN, PSTN, or xDSL routers.
1: Overview About the S1700e Series The S1700e series devices are for indoor use only. Each device is configured to interface, right out of the box, with the most popular camera data port configuration (4800 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit). The S1700e series currently holds a single transmitter, the S1700e-T.

2 Configuration and Installation The steps required to prepare your S1700e device for operation are: Basic configuration, mainly for communication and serial connection Physical installation in its final location Verint Video Solutions 7
2: Configuration and Installation Configuration The configuration steps to execute are: Assembling the power-over-Ethernet kit (on the PoE devices only) Setting a series of parameters, including the IP address Establishing a point-to-point connection between a receiver and a transmitter, if required To configure the device, you need the proprietary SConfigurator tool.
Nextiva S1700e Series Installation Guide Assembling the PoE Kit You use the supplied power-over-Ethernet (PoE) kit to power the S1700e-PoE device and establish the Ethernet connection. The kit contains two items: an injector and a power cord. Warning: On a PoE device, never connect an external power supply in the DC Pwr poles on its back.
2: Configuration and Installation To assemble the PoE kit: 2 5 Straight-through Ethernet cable 3 J1 DATA & PWR PoE injector 4 J2 DATA Ethernet cable (straight-through or crossover) Power cord 6 1. In a lab, unpack the device and its PoE injector and place them on a table. 2. Plug a straight-through Ethernet cable into the LAN 10/100 connector on the front of the S1700e device. Note: The maximum length of this cable is 164 feet (50 meters).
Nextiva S1700e Series Installation Guide 3. Plug the other end of the cable into the DATA & PWR port of the injector. 4. Connect a second Ethernet cable (straight-through or crossover) into the DATA port of the injector. The crossover cable is to directly connect the device to a computer; the straight-through cable is to integrate the S1700e on a network. Note: The maximum length of this cable is 82 feet (25 meters). 5.
2: Configuration and Installation Preparing a 12V DC Device To prepare a 12V DC device for configuration: 1. In a lab, unpack the S1700e and place it on a table. 2. Establish the Ethernet connection by plugging a cable (crossover or straight-through) into the LAN 10/100 connector on the front of the device. The crossover cable is to directly connect the device to a computer; the straight-through cable is to integrate the S1700e on a network.
Nextiva S1700e Series Installation Guide Setting Device Parameters The first step in installing an S1700e device is to change its IP address to ensure compatibility with an existing network. Write down the IP information in the form located at the end of the guide, on page 27. To set the parameters of a device: 1. Ensure that the device has power and is connected to the network. 2. Start SConfigurator. The SConfigurator window appears.
2: Configuration and Installation 3. In the General tab, click Program Options. The Program Options window appears. 4. Ensure that the VSIP Port is 5510; otherwise, click Default. 5. Ensure that the Discovery IP Address is 255.255.255.255; otherwise, click Reset to Broadcast. 6. Check Detect All Units on LAN, then click OK.
Nextiva S1700e Series Installation Guide 7. Select the Units tab, then click Discover. A device of type “Unknown” with a 169.254.X.Y IP address appears in the Units box; it corresponds to your new device.
2: Configuration and Installation 8. Select the unknown device, then click Configure. In the Reconfigure unit? confirmation window, click Yes. The New Network Configuration window appears. 9. To use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), check Use DHCP. Otherwise, enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway of the device, as provided by your network administrator. For more information about DHCP, refer to the S1700e Series User Guide. 10. Click OK.
Nextiva S1700e Series Installation Guide 11. In the Units tab, click Discover. The new S1700e device appears. 12. Select the device, then click Configure. 13. Configure the serial port parameters to match those of the target equipment (for instance, camera or PTZ keyboard). For more information, refer to the SConfigurator User Guide. The S1700e initial configuration is now complete.
2: Configuration and Installation To perform a point-to-point connection: 1. Start SConfigurator. 2. In the Units tab, discover the desired devices. The discovered devices appear in the Units box. 3. Select the Connections tab, then click Add. The Connection Creator window appears.
Nextiva S1700e Series Installation Guide 4. Select a transmitter in the left column and a receiver in the right one. In the Transmitters column, you have access to the two encoders of each input; the video stream is the same for both. Stream1 is typically reserved for web viewing, therefore you should use Stream2 for point-to-point connections. 5. In the Video list, select the desired video mode. 6.
2: Configuration and Installation Installation When your device is successfully configured, it is ready to be installed in its final location. If your S1700e device is powered using PoE, you can use the two DC Pwr poles on the back of the device to power a camera. The supply voltage of the camera must be 12V DC +/- 10%; its maximum power consumption must be 5W (417 mA). To install the device: 1. Plug the video cable of the camera to the video input connector on the device. 2.

PoE kit For the maximum length of the camera power wire, refer to the S1700e Series User Guide. 5. If required, connect the serial port of the transmitter to a PTZ camera.
2: Configuration and Installation 6. When installing a device with the extended temperature option, make it stand vertically, allowing for better cooling. Status LED The system status LED is a bicolor (green-red) LED providing detailed information on the current state of the device. Condition Indication Steady red for 5 sec. The device is powering up. Flashing red (1 sec. intervals) The IP address of the device is already assigned to another device on the network. Flashing green (3 sec.
