Figure 4. Server Configuration
1. Windows should boot up all the way to the desktop without user intervention. Close all recording applications on the
desktop. On the task bar click Start > Programs > DX9000 Server > Server Configuration Utility.
2. Ensure that the number of channels and recording frame rate (Half or Full) for this recorder is consistent with the number
and frame rate listed on the first line. To change, checkmark the box for Initialize New Channels (Overriding Existing Ones)
and make the necessary corrections. Note: The “Quarter” frame rate setting is reserved for future development.
3. Ensure that the recording format is indicated properly for your location. To change, checkmark the box for Recording
Format and make the necessary correction.
4. The Resolution box should only indicate CIF at this time. Note: The “2CIF” resolution setting is reserved for future
development.
5. Checkmark the Multicast Group to configure it. Enter 239 in the first text box. The numbers in the last three text boxes
must match the last three numbers of this recorder’s IP address. For example, if your IP address is 100.0.0.101, then your
Multicast Group is 239.0.0.101. Click Configure.
6. Checkmark the Multicast TTL line if you have routers on the system. Enter the total number of routers that separate the
server from its farthest ViewStation on the network. For example, If two routers separate the server from its farthest
ViewStation, then the value will be 2.
7. Define the Alarm Interval (or Post-Alarm Interval) for the cameras associated with this recorder. These values are listed
in seconds. The default is 300 seconds. This feature is relevant only if you do not intend to record continuously (24 hours
a day) and wish to record events only during part or all of the day.
