Hardware installation

Before installing multiple Video Servers at the well-chosen locations, the Administrator should memorize the serial numbers on the packages respectively for future use.

Cable connection

Shut down all the peripheral devices prior to connection. Connect the supplied cables from the Video Server to related devices according to the figure. The Ethernet cable should meet UTP category 5 that cannot exceed 100 meters.

Power on

Make sure all cables are correctly and firmly connected before turning on the Video Server. Turn on cameras, sensors, alarm devices, and then attach the power adaptor of the Video Server to the electric power socket. As soon as the power adapter is plugged into the utility socket, the front LED will switch between green and red for several times. After passing the self-test, the LED will be green and the Video Server will standby for getting IP address. After getting IP Address, the LED will blink green every second. Otherwise refer to Appendix A for troubleshooting.

Connect the jack of the power adapter to Video Server prior to plugging the utility end into the utility power socket. It will reduce accidental electric surge shock.
