(Unit) Name

none

The unit Name and unit ID identify the device from a distance;

 

 

for example, in the event of an alarm call. The name helps when

 

 

there are many PelcoNet units on the network.

 

 

Enter a name (nine characters maximum) for the NET104A that

 

 

lets the device be easily identified. With appropriate configura-

 

 

tion, the name will be displayed in the video window.

 

 

 

(Unit) ID

none

The ID serves as a machine-readable name. The ID can be read

 

 

at any time. Reading is facilitated remotely via UDP/IP, letting a

 

 

management system monitor the unit.

 

 

 

Password

none

Transmitters operate at two authorization levels: service or user.

level

 

This field lets you set the password at either level.

 

 

At the service level, you can change all the configuration

 

 

settings. At the user level, you can operate but not configure the

 

 

device. You can have a live picture or see the configuration

 

 

settings but you cannot change them.

 

 

 

Password

none

The unit can be password-protected to prevent unauthorized

 

 

tampering with the configuration. The password needs to be

 

 

repeated correctly in the confirm box before password protection

 

 

is activated. If the device is not protected with a password, ÒNo

 

 

password setÓ will be displayed.

 

 

Once password protection is enabled, you need to log in before

 

 

the configuration pages can be accessed (Figure 26).

 

 

You can only change one of the two passwords. To change the

 

 

other, you have to access this configuration page again.

 

 

NOTE: If you forget the password and cannot access the unit,

 

 

refer to the red caution sheet that came with the unit. The sheet

 

 

details procedures for resetting the unit to allow access. Your

 

 

settings will be erased.

 

 

 

Date

n/a

Enter the current date in DD/MM/YYYY format. This is the

 

 

system date, driven by the internal real-time clock. The day of

 

 

the week (first entry box) need not be entered and will be

 

 

automatically adjusted based on the given date.

 

 

 

Time

n/a

Enter the current time or click the Synchronize button to

 

 

synchronize the NET104A with your computerÕs system time. The

 

 

system time is driven by the internal real-time clock.
