Device Configuration

Once you have connected all the equipment to the device, you can begin

configuring the device to ensure that it can communicate with the attached

devices and with a video management software over the network. In order to

configure the device, you first need to obtain the IP address using

SConfigurator.

1. Using SConfigurator: SConfigurator is a PC-based administration tool that

you can use over any TCP/IP network. You use SConfigurator to:

Configure Nextiva edge devices

Add security in your system

Get information on the devices connected on the network

Connect edge devices together

Update the firmware of the devices

Align the antennas of wireless devices

Manage licenses

Using a Video Management Software: You can use any video

management software to configure the device.

2. Using a Video Management Software: You can use any video management

software to configure the device.

Caution

Any changes made using the video management software will override

the changes made using SConfigurator or the Web Interface.

3. Using the Web Interface: The Nextiva S5500 PTZ Series have a self-

contained web server allowing you to connect directly to it using a web

browser. The Web Interface is a browser-based tool that allows you to

configure the Nextiva S5500 PTZ Series. For complete information on the

Web Interface, refer to the Web Interface User Guide.

Note

The default username and password for the Web Interface is admin. We

recommend that you change the default password for the Edge device to a

more secure password.
