Currently, some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) may be blocking certain internet ports, disabling remote access to your EDSR unit over the internet. Due to certain security risks, your ISP may refuse to unblock these specific ports.

EverFocus now offers a firmware update specifically for the EDSR line of digital recorders which directly addresses this issue: firmware version 1.09 allows you to change the default HTTP and Data ports used by the DVR. This will provide a work around if your ISP refuses to unblock the ports on your internet connection. This feature is found in the NETWORK SETTINGS menu of your EDSR unit. This work-around allows you to customize your unit to connect using other various unblocked ports.

NOTE: For this work around, you will need to update to the latest firmware version, which can be found at: http://www.everfocus.com/servicebulletins.htm

HOW TO CHANGE PORTS ON AN EDSR 400-1600F:

1.) Access the Main Menu, by pressing [menu] on the front panel

2.) Use the JOG wheel to select NETWORK and press [ENTER]

3.) In the NETWORK SETTING MENU press [ENTER] until the Port Settings are reached.

4.) Use the JOG WHEEL to change the Ports as needed. (Only the CTRL port cannot be changed)

5.) Once the Ports are changed, press [MENU] twice to exit the menus and reboot the system.

Note: Once the Ports have been changed, these will be the ports that will need to be Forwarded if a NAT router (Linksys, Netgear, Dlink, etc.) is in use.

Due to all internet Browsers (Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, etc.) defaulting to use port 80 as the HTTP port; if the HTTP port number is changed from 80 to something else, the HTTP port must be specified when connecting to the DVR.

Example: IP address of the DVR is 146.82.96.172. ISP is blocking port 80, so HTTP port on DVR was changed to 1080, then the address that needs to be typed is

HTTP://146.82.96.172:1080. The :1080 entered at the end of the IP address specifies the port that the HTTP connection will be made.

PTZ control for EDSR Units.

The EDSR series Digital Recorders now offer PTZ control functions when using the web interface. You now have the same basic controls used with the VKB series keyboards over the web interface. This allows you to control the camera pan, tilt and zoom

functions while away.

Connections:

The Data Control cables connect to the back of the EDSR using the RS 485 Port. Depending on how your connections are setup and the number of cameras you are using, you will need to connect the data cables to Pins 3 and 6 on any of the 2 RS-485 ports. Pin 3 being Positive (+) and pin 6 being negative (-).

An Ethernet cable can be used in the RS485 port, as long as the wires for pin 3 and 6 are used. Looking at the top of an Ethernet cable, (flat edge) the wires that are used will be White-Green (3) and Green (6).

RJ-45 View from top– Locking clip is on reverse side.

EDSR PTZ setup.

Once the data cables are connected, the EDSR recorder is configured to communicate with PTZ camera or cameras.

Please Note: you need to determine what Protocol and Baud Rate is used for the cameras. (Note: All cameras connecting to the same DVR MUST be on the same Protocol and Baud Rate.)

SETTINGS:

1.) Access the Setup menu by pressing [MENU] on the front of the unit.

2.) Use the Jog Wheel to highlight the PTZ menu. Press[ENTER]

3.) In PTZ SETTINGS sub-menu, use [ENTER] to navigate between the options and the JOG WHEEL to change the settings.

4.) Set PTZ ENABLE: to ON,

5.) Set the PTZ port to RS485

6.) *Set the PROTOCOL to that of the Cameras (Pelco-D, Pelco-P, Everfocus, or VProtect)

7.) *Set the BAUD RATE to match that of the cameras

8.) Under PTZ ADDRESS, enter the Address for that camera on that specific channel. (Example: Channel 2 has a camera with Address 1, then for CH2: the value is change to 001, so it reads [CH2: 001].)

9.) Press [ENTER] twice to exit out of the setup menus. Restart the system.

*Note: These settings MUST match all the cameras connected on the same circuit.

VIEWING

Once you access the unit via the web-page. The option for the PTZ controls will be on the Right Panel.

Hard Disk Drive Installation

The first step in installing the hard drive is to insert the hard drive sleeve into the machine. The hard disk drive default setting is initially set to master. The second step is to insert the key provided and turn the tray key to the lock position. If this process is ignored the hard disk drive will not be detected. Follow the previous steps for the second hard drive or second empty sleeve.

Please Note: If the Hard Disk Drive is not locked in with the key a system loading screen will keep flashing and the DVR will not go into record mode. This is because the Hard Drive is not being recognized.

Final Install Process

Once you have completed the basic wiring installation and the hard disk drive installation you are read to turn on the DVR. Simply plug the power source you installed earlier. The POWER LED lights will light up if power is normal. The next step is to set up the menu options for the DVR.
