6.8 | Hardware Connections Between Video Servers | |
| You can easily connect a VIP X1600 M4S encoder module with cameras connected to it, acting | |
| as a sender, to a compatible hardware decoder (such as the VIP XD) with a connected | |
| monitor, acting as a receiver, via an Ethernet network. In this way it is possible to cover long | |
| distances without the need for major installation or cabling work. | |
|
| |
i | NOTICE! | |
The sender and receiver must be located in the same subnet to establish a hardware | ||
connection. | ||
|
| |
| Installation | |
| Compatible video servers are designed to connect to one another automatically, provided | |
| they are correctly configured. They only need to be part of a closed network. Proceed as | |
| follows to install the units: | |
| 1. | Connect the units to the closed network using Ethernet cables. |
| 2. Connect them to the power supply. | |
|
| |
| NOTICE! | |
i | Make sure that the units are configured for the network environment and that the correct IP | |
address for the remote location to be contacted in the event of an alarm is set on the Alarm | ||
Connections configuration page (see Section 5.26 Advanced Mode: Alarm Connections, | ||
| page 56). | |
|
| |
| Connecting | |
| There are three options for establishing a connection between a sender and a compatible | |
| receiver in a closed network: | |
| – | an alarm, |
| – a terminal program, or | |
| – | Internet Explorer. |
|
| |
i | NOTICE! | |
Connecting with a Web browser is described in the manual of the relevant unit that is to be | ||
used as the receiver, for example VIP XD. | ||
|

Connecting on Alarm
With the appropriate configuration, a connection between a sender and a receiver is made automatically when an alarm is triggered (see Section 5.26 Advanced Mode: Alarm Connections, page 56). After a short time the live video image from the sender appears on the connected monitor.
This option can also be used to connect a sender and a compatible receiver using a switch connected to the alarm input. You do not need a computer to make the connection in this case.
