Fortress Technologies BreadCrumb Wireless Network instruction

Chapter 6. Conﬁguration Examples

2.Optionally encrypt the video signal as described below in the Section called Encrypting a Video Feed.

3.Install a BreadCrumb XLV in each convoy vehicle that is to receive the video signal.

4.For long convoys, or for convoys that will be passing through environments such as urban canyons that inhibit line-of-sight radio signals, install additional BreadCrumb XLVs in intermediate convoy vehicles to bridge gaps between the vehicles viewing the video feed.

5.Install a computer in each vehicle to view the video feed. This may be a wireless client of the XLV or, preferably, a wired client connected to the XLV’s ethernet port in Bridge Mode.

6.If the video is encrypted, be sure to install the appropriate Fortress Secure Client and Access ID on the viewing PCs.

Encrypting a Video Feed

A BreadCrumb device can be used to encrypt the video feed from a network camera with ethernet support. It is useful for administrators to conﬁgure all of their cameras in exactly the same way so as to minimize any BreadCrumb device-speciﬁc conﬁguration. The following approach takes this into consideration.

1.Connect the camera or video encoder to the BreadCrumb device using a crossover cable.

2.Conﬁgure the camera for the mini-network between the BreadCrumb device and the camera. The following settings may be used on all cameras:

a.IP Address: 192.168.3.2

b.Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

c.Default Gateway: 192.168.3.1

(In this example, 192.168.3.0/24 is used).

3.Conﬁgure the BreadCrumb device for the mini-network between the BreadCrumb device and the camera. The following settings may be used on all cameras:

a.Reachback Interface: Ethernet

b.Reachback Mode: Gateway (Ingress)

c.IP Address: 192.168.3.1

d.Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

e.Default Gateway: 10.0.0.1

4.Conﬁgure the BreadCrumb device for port forwarding to the camera. Assuming that the camera provides a web-based front end, use the following settings:

a.Ext Ports: 80-80
