3. Connecting XNET to Network
XNET supports LAN, xDSL, and Cable modem. It also supports shared IP environment where
single IP address is shared by at least 2 IP devices. Refer to [IP-Installer User’s Guide] for
details of setting the IP address for XNET.
3.1. Connecting to LAN
In case of connecting the XNET to LAN, it is generally connected as in Figure 3-1.
IP Network
(LAN/WAN
Figure 3-1. Connecting the XNET to LAN
1. Follow through steps 1 to 4 in Section 2.5 to assign IP address to XNET.
2. Install XNET and connect it to desired LAN.
3. Check if you can receive video data when connecting to XNET using the viewer program.
4. When one or more IP video products are connected through a IP sharing device (i.e. router)
to a larger network (i.e. the internet), in order to access each unit from outside the local area
network, each device must have a unique RTSP (Real Time Stream Protocol) and HTTP port
Client
number. You must also configure your IP sharing device for “port forwarding”. This is to enable
the IP sharing device to forward packet data with unique port number (RTSP and HTTP) to
unique internal IP address (local IP address). If you only plan to access multiple units from
within a local area network, you do not need to change the RTSP and HTTP port numbers,
unless other IP sharing devices sit in-between the client and the IP video products. For more
detailed information regarding the use of IP sharing device refer to the document [Use of
13 of 44
Page 14
XNET Network Video Server User’s Guide
Private IP network using IP-sharing-device].
3.2. Connecting to xDSL/Cable Modem
1. Follow through steps 1 to 4 in Section 2.5 to assign IP address and other network parameters
to XNET.
2. Install XNET and connect it to xDSL or Cable modem as in Figure 3-2.
IP Network
(LAN/WAN
xDSL/
Cable
Modem
②
Figure 3-2. Connecting the XNET to ADSL Modem
When fixed IP address is assigned to the xDSL or Cable modem, follow the same way as
assigning IP address for the case of LAN using IP-installer. To enable the notification of
the changed IP address to the user over e-mail when the IP address is changed in
floating IP environment, you have to assign the e-mail address when user name and
password are input using IP-installer. (Management server provides a convenient
way of connecting to your network camera under dynamic IP environment.
Please refer to the Application note regarding “Management Server” in the CD.)
When connecting XNET to xDSL or Cable modem, usually regular LAN cable is
required. But since some modems has crossover connections, please contact your
service provider for detailed information.

XNET Network Video Server User’s Guide
4. IP-Installer
XNET needs IP network parameters for connection to the network(Internet/Intranet). IPInstaller is a PC program for the initial network configuration to IP video products such as
Network Camera or A/V Server. IP-Installer is provided in a CD supplied with XNET or it can be
downloaded from “
Detailed information of Installing and running IP-installer can be found in [IPinstaller user’s guide]
4.1. Main window of IP-Installer
www.cnbtec.com”.
Figure 4-1. IP Installer
All the basic network parameters needed for the initial connection to IP video products can be
assigned by IP-Installer. Once the basic parameters are assigned and the initial connection is
successfully made, you can connect to the administration page for more sophisticated control of
the network parameters and other operational parameters. Refer to Chapter 5 for more details
of the administration page.

6. Tips for using XNET
6.1. ALARM-IN and ALARM-OUT
ALARM connectors are used to connect various sensing and alerting devices. Examples of
sensing devices are infrared sensors, motion sensors, heat/smoke sensors, magnetic sensor, etc.
ALARM-OUT is used for connecting alerting device such as loud speaker, flashing light, etc.
6.1.1. ALARM-IN
Connect the two wires of the sensors to “Alarm In”. The sensor type can be set in
Administrative mode(Ref. 5.7). Output lines providing on-off switching are connected
between “+“ and “-” pins.
Figure 6-2 shows the input circuit of “Alarm In”.
Figure 6-1. ALARM-IN/ALARM-OUT Connector

Page 39
XNET Network Video Server User’s Guide
6.1.2. ALARM-OUT
A Relay output is provided for connecting alarm devices or for remote on/off devices
such as light control. Relay circuits are normal open and circuits are closed upon
alarm output or remote on. The relay is capable of switching AC/DC 30V,1A electrical
signal.

6.2. Trouble Shooting
1. After XNET is successfully installed.
•
XNET in viewing mode, neither channel name nor video is display and eventually
timeout message is shown up.
Check the power and network connection of XNET.
To check if the network is properly operating, open the browser and try to connect to
any server.
Example) http://www.yahoo.com
Or open the MS-DOS Prompt and type the following.
ping www.yahoo.com
Then press Enter. If you see the “ Repl y f r om …” message it means that the network is
working properly. To check if the XNET is connected, open the MS-DOS Prompt and
type the following.
ping [the IP of the server]
Example) ping 192.168.1.112
If you see the “Reply from …” message, it means that the server is properly connected.
If you do not see a Reply message, check if the network cable and power cable are
properly connected.
2. After Successfully Connecting to the XNET
•
Video movement is slow.
In Basic Setup of Admin Mode, lower the “Quality”. High quality means more data. You can
also set the “Max. upload rate” to higher value. But this value must be lower than the
maximum upload speed of your network. For example, if the maximum uploading bandwidth
of the network is 400Kbps, set the total “Max. upload rate” as 384Kbps. If you set it higher,
the video image can be corrupted with artifacts.
Ask your network manager or ISP for maximum uploading bandwidth of the network.
•
The image is dull and I see green, pink dots.
This could be caused by performance limitation of the PC. Do not run too many programs
while running viewer program. The other reason could be missing data while transmission
from XNET.

XNET Network Video Server User’s Guide
• Mosaic phenomenon.
Mosaic phenomenon occurs when not enough network bandw idth is available considerin g th e
resolution and frame rate of the video.
Example is 704x480 video with low Max. upload rate.
Users are recommended to adjust resolution and frame rates to lower values for lower
bandwidth network.
6.3. Web Viewer
XNET is designed to be connected through internet explorer, too. For connection to XNET using
internet explorer type in IP address or host address in the address input field of the internet
