response” or similar, the diagnosis is probably

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

correct – you should then proceed as follows

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Windows 95/98 or Windows NT, check the IP

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

address for your NETWORK VIDEO SERVER is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

within the same subnet as your workstation:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.Click “Start”, “Settings”, “Control Panel” and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Network”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.Specify the TCP/IP adapter and click on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Properties”. In Properties, Click “IP Address”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.Check that the first 3 number blocks of the IP

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

address of your NETWORK VIDEO SERVER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

match the first 3 number blocks of your workstation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If not, your NETWORK VIDEO SERVER may be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on a different subnet and the IP address cannot be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

set from this workstation. You must set the IP

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

address for NETWORK VIDEO SERVER from a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

workstation on the same subnet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Example:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IP Address Camera: 192.168.1.221

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IP Address PC: 192.168.1.xxx.

Trying replacing your network cable

 

 

 

 

problems

 

 

Test the network interface of the product by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

connecting a local computer to the unit, using a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

standard Crossover (hub-to-hub) Cable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the above actions do not resolve the problem,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NETWORK VIDEO SERVER maybe faulty, In this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

case, try to localize the problem by connecting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NETWORK VIDEO SERVER to the serial port of a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

local computer, using the supported RS232 Cable

 

 

 

 

Faulty power supply

 

Verify that you are using an provided power supply

Faulty cabling

 

1.To verify that the cables are functional, PING the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

address of a known existing unit on your network.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.If the cabling is OK and your network is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

reachable, your should receive the reply similar to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this:
