Chapter 3 Network Connection and Setup
The network connection and setup instructions depend on whether you will be connecting the NVS-30 to a network with a DHCP server.
If connecting to a network with a DHCP server, the NVS-30 must be set to DHCP mode. If your network does not have a DHCP server, the NVS-30 must be set to True Static IP mode. By default, the NVS-30 is set to DHCP mode. Once connected to a network, configure your stream and record settings using the NVS-30 Command Center.
To access the Command Center, you must first know the network IP address of the NVS-30 device or use the Datavideo Utility Software to scan for the device IP. When connecting to a network with a DHCP server, the NVS-30 IP address is assigned by the DHCP server. In this case, you can use the Datavideo Utility Software to find the NVS-30 IP address. When connecting to a network without a DHCP server, you must assign a static IP address to the NVS-30. A default IP address is provided when in True Static IP mode.
3.1 Datavideo Utility Software
The Datavideo Utility Software is available for both Mac OS and Windows systems, and you can use it for the following:
• Identifying NVS-30 devices on a network and lists their IP addresses.
• Open the NVS-30 web based UI (Command Center) by double-clicking an
identified device on the device list.
• Update the NVS-30 firmware (see Appendix 2 “Firmware Update
”).
• Reboot NVS-30 devices (see “Device Reboot” in Chapter 6).
Before launching the Datavideo Utility Software, you must first configure your NVS­30’s network settings as well as the PC on which the software is installed. The subsequent section will take you through the entire network configuration process.
3.2 Network Connection and IP Address
This section details how to connect the NVS-30 to a network with or without a DHCP server, and describes how to acquire the NVS-30 IP address.
3.2.1 Finding the NVS-30’s current IP address
You must know your NVS-30 device’s IP address to access the Command Center. There are three ways to find the NVS-30’s current IP address:
• You can see it displayed on an HDMI monitor at device boot up.
15
• You can have it automatically saved to a connected USB device when rebooting
the NVS-30.
• Use the Datavideo Utility Software to view all connected NVS-30 devices and
their IP addresses.
Displaying the IP address on an HDMI monitor
The NVS-30’s IP address is displayed on a connected HDMI monitor at device bootup:
1. Connect the NVS-30 to an HDMI monitor.
2. Power up the NVS-30.
When the NVS-30 boots up, the IP address appears on the screen for approximately 30 seconds before being replaced by the passthrough signal.
Saving the IP address and status to USB
You can save a file containing the NVS-30’s IP address and the device’s current status to a USB device, making this information easily accessible.
1. Insert a formatted USB device into the USB port 2.
2. Reboot your NVS-30 by pressing the Reset button on the device (“Device Reboot
”
in Chapter 6).
3. The NVS-30’s IP address and status information are now saved to a text file on
the USB device. This file can be helpful if you do not have an HDMI monitor or if you need to share status information for your unit.
Finding the IP address with Datavideo Utility Software
The Datavideo Utility Software will display the IP addresses of the NVS-30 devices in your network. See the subsequent sub-section “
Connecting to a network with a
DHCP server (DHCP IP mode)” for details.
Note: In the DHCP network environment, if you switch the network connection while the NVS-30 is powered, you must power cycle the device to obtain the new IP address from the DHCP server. To power cycle the device, use the Reset button on the NVS-30 (see Chapter 6 “Reset to Factory Defaults”).
3.2.2 Connecting to a network with a DHCP server
In this section, you will learn how to use the Datavideo Utility Software to find the IP address of your NVS-30 device.
1. Connect the NVS-30’s LAN port to a network through an Ethernet cable.
2. Power on the NVS-30 and by default, the NVS-30 is set to DHCP mode.
3. From a computer that is on the same network subnet as your NVS-
30 device, download the Datavideo Utility Software from our official
website http://www.datavideo.cow/
.
16
4. Double-click the downloaded Datavideo Utility Software to open the application.
If Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is enabled on your network, the utility will
automatically scan for NVS-30 devices. To scan manually, click the
Find All
button.
5. All the NVS-30s on the same network subnet as your computer will be displayed,
along with their IP addresses and other information.
6. Open the Command Center (See Chapter 4).
Tip: If you have multiple NVS-30 devices, you may want to change the name of each device for easier identification (see “Device name and password
” in Chapter
4).
Note: If you need to switch the device from Static IP mode to DHCP IP mode, you can either reset the device to factory defaults (see Chapter 6 “
Reset to factory defaults”), or set it to DHCP mode using the Command Center (see “IP Setup” in
Chapter 4).
3.2.3 Connecting to a network withou t a DHCP server (True Static IP)
When connecting to a network without a DHCP server, the network does not assign an IP address to your NVS-30 device. In this case, you can either manually assign a static IP address to your NVS-30 device or use the device’s default static IP.
Default Static IP
The default static IP address is designed primarily for the initial setup of the NVS-30 using a point-to-point connection (direct connection between your computer and the NVS-30). On a network without a DHCP server, the NVS-30 must be set to Static IP mode. To set to the default static IP, follow the steps outlined below.
1. Power on the NVS-30 and by default, the NVS-30 is set to DHCP mode.
17
2. Press the Reset button located on the rear panel of the device to initiate a
device reboot. During the power-up sequence (all LEDs illuminate), the Record LED flashes for three seconds.
3. Press the Record button on the device while the Record LED is flashing.
4. This sets the device to True Static IP mode and the Static IP address to its default
address (169.254.1.11).
5. The device is ready when two or more of the recording destination LEDs (USB
port 1, USB port 2, SD Card) turn off, depending on your settings.
6. In order for your computer to communicate with the NVS-30, your computer’s IP
address must be in the same network range as your NVS-30’s IP address. Change your computer’s IP address and subnet mask to the following:
IP address 169.254.1.10 Subnet mask 255.255.0.0
7. Establish a connection between the NVS-30 and your computer using one of the
following methods:
• Connect an Ethernet cable from the NVS-30’s LAN port directly to your
computer’s Ethernet port.
• Connect an Ethernet cable from the NVS-30’s LAN port to the same network
switch as your computer.
8. Open the Command Center (See Chapter 4).
Note: The default IP address is not recommended for a traditional network setting. If you wish to use the NVS-30 in True Static IP mode over a network, after the initial setup we recommend that you change the static IP address of the NVS-30 device to an address that is more suitable to your network. You can change the static IP address in the Command Center as described in “IP Settings” in Chapter 4.
18
Chapter 4 Settings – The Command Center
The NVS-30 Command Center is a web-based application that allows you to configure device settings, control stream and record sessions, and import/export settings to or from other devices. To open the Command Center, you can do one of the following:
1. Enter the network IP address of your NVS-30 in your browser to open the Command Center.
2. On the Datavideo Utility Software, double-click any of the listed devices to open the Command Center.
4.1 Logging in to the Command Center
The Command Center opens on the Status page. The Status and About pages in the Command Center can be accessed without logging in. To access any other page, such as the
