Hardware Setup

This section provides information on how to perform the initial configuration of the VNR 100 so that it will work over the Ethernet with a network that is controlled by an Enterprise Controller. Topics that are covered in this section include:

•Setup Overview

•VNR 100 Power Up Procedure

•VNR 100 Power Down Procedure

•Initial Configuration of the VNR 100

•Getting Started with the Enterprise Controller

Setup Overview

NOTE: if the VNR 100 recorder is rack mounted, access to the rear panel may be restricted. Connect all cables at the same time as the unit is mounted.

1.Mount the VNR 100 recorder in a suitable location (see Mounting the VNR 100 on page 22).

2.Connect a standard IEC power cord to the rear panel power connector (A in figure 5).

3.Connect the VNR 100 to a network, using the rear panel Ethernet port 0 (G in figure 5). The VNR 100 must be controlled by an VNM Enterprise Controller connected to the network.

4.Power on the VNR 100 (see VNR 100 Power Up Procedure on page 12).

5.Use a computer on the same network as the VNR 100 to carry out the initial configuration (see Initial Configuration of the VNR 100 on page 12).

This initial configuration makes the VNR 100 available to a VNM Enterprise Controller on the same network.

6.If it becomes necessary to power down the VNR 100 recorder, see VNR 100 Power Down Procedure on page 12.
