6.4 | Hardware Connections Between Video Servers | |
| You can easily connect a VIP XD with a connected monitor as a receiver, together with a | |
| compatible sender (for example VIP X1600) with a connected camera 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 5.11 Alarm Connections, page 34). |

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.
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 5.11 Alarm Connections, page 34). 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.
Connecting with a Terminal Program
Various requirements must be met in order to operate with a terminal program (see
Section 8.7 Communication with Terminal Program, page 67).

2.Enter the command 4 in the IP menu to change the remote IP address, then enter the IP address of the unit you wish to connect to.
3.Enter the command 0 to return to the main menu and then enter the command 4 to switch to the Rcp+ menu.
4.In the Rcp+ menu, enter the command 5 to activate the automatic connection.
