Hardware Connections Between Video Servers

 

You can easily connect a VideoJet X40 with connected cameras as a sender, and a suitable

 

MPEG-4 compatible hardware decoder (for example VIP XD) with a connected monitor 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.

NOTICE!

The sender and receiver must be located in the same subnet to establish a hardware

connection.

 

 

6.9.1

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!

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 5.22 Alarm Connections, page 62).

 

 

6.9.2

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.

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.

 

 

6.9.3

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 5.22 Alarm Connections, page 62). 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.
