Making an Initial Connection
The first step in configuring your TransVu is to make contact with it using the serial port.
Although the TransVu supports DHCP (automatic allocation of an IP address) Dedicated Micros recommend you allocate a fixed IP address.
The method for allocating a fixed IP address is detailed below.
1. Connect the Multi-pole connector with the correctly terminated cable loom to the TransVu
2. Switch the vehicles ignition to ON, the TransVu will now boot up. (If ignition sense is used)
3. Ask your network admin to complete the following with suitable values:
4. Connect the supplied RS232 cable from COM 5 on the TransVu to your PC serial port.
5. On your PC, from the Start menu, select Programs> Accessories> Communications> HyperTerminal and create a new connection using the COM port and the following settings:
Bits per second – 38400, Data bits - 8, Parity – None, Stop bits – 1, Flow control - None
6. In HyperTerminal, log on to the TransVu by typing +++ and pressing enter.
7. At the Transvu> command prompt, type the following commands, replacing <aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd> with the values from step 3. Press enter after each setting:
<ESC>m\ether_ip\aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd <ESC>m\subnet\aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd <ESC>m\gateway\aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd <ESC>m\save reset (to restart the TransVu)
8. Connect a crossed network cable between the TransVu and the configuration PC / Laptop (Provision should have been made for this when wiring the cable loom )
9. Open a Web browser and type the IP address of TransVu in the Address Bar. For example, "http://169.254.123.1/".
If everything is working you should now see the TransVu Viewer Home-Page. If not, check status LEDs on the front of TransVu, at least one LED should be lit, if not for refer to the Installation manual and check cable.

Dedicated Micros © 2006 7
Resolution
It is possible to select the image resolution, this is a global command and will affect all video images being displayed. This option is useful in application where the bandwidth is limited, selecting a lower resolution will reduce the amount of information being transmitted and therefore maintain bandwidth efficiency.
The resolution settings for the High, Medium and Low options are configured in the Camera Set-Up page.
Event Database
The TransVu stores events within a database, it is possible to access this database from the Live page. Any associated video recordings can be selected for review, it is also possible to filter the events and search for specific recordings; Video Motion Detection, Alarms and Power up.
The events are displayed in the event list and details the associated camera, date, time and a brief description of the event.
The list can be refreshed to update the list on screen.
Select the next or previous set of events.
Filter the events list and search for specific recordings. The options are:
All - List all entries.
VMD - List VMD events only.
Contact Alarms - List all alarm input triggered events.
Power Ups - List all system restarts and initialisation.

VCR Controls
Recorded images stored on the TransVu can be played back via the Live page. The VCR controls also work in conjunction with the events list.
The controls keys available are:
Play.
Fast forward.
Rewind.
Record - when selected you will be presented with a file type option which includes MJPEG, AVI and Raw AVI.
Frame rewind.
Pause.
Frame advance.

Goto Time and Date.
Dedicated Micros © 2006 9
Text Search
The TransVu supports the option to record text information alongside the video images, the Live page provides an interface to allow these recordings to be search for specific text information.
Time and date can be selected along with the text information, the TransVu will then search the database for associated recordings.
Search For
The information entered in the Search For section will instruct the unit to search for the exact text line unless a wildcard is used.
Example DOOR1 EXIT MANCHESTER OPEN
FRONT DOOR2 RECEPTION CLOSED
THIS IS THE FRONT DOOR
BACK DOORB CLOSED
BEER *1.50
Note: The Search For text is case sensitive, using the incorrect case will result in a message informing the
Operator that no matches where made. It is possible to use mixed case settings (Upper and low) as long as this is how the information is recorded A ‘space’ between words is classed as a character. Unicode characters are also supported.
Wildcards
First Word Search Entering text such as DOOR1 would inform the unit to only search for entries where DOOR1 was the first word within the line of characters. All entries would then be displayed between the selected time period. With the examples above you would only have one match.
All Instances of a Specific Word Search
It is possible to use a wildcard to search the whole of the character line for any instance of a specific word. For example *DOOR* would find all instances of the word DOOR, with the above examples you would have four matches.
10 Dedicated Micros © 2006
Single Character Variation Word Search
It is possible to perform a search on a word with a single character variation for example *DOOR?* this will display all instances of the word DOOR with variations on the last character. From the examples above this would result in three events DOOR1, DOOR2 and DOORB.
Specific Set Word Search
It is possible to search for a word within a range, for example
DOOR[0-9] - using the examples above this would display DOOR1 and DOOR2 DOOR[a-z] - using the examples above this would return no match DOOR[A-Z] - using the examples above this would display DOORB
Alternatively to carry out a complex word search you could enter DOOR[0-9a-zA-Z], this would result in DOOR1, DOOR2 and DOORB being displayed.
Special Syntax Character Word Search
In the example above an entry was made for one pound and fifty pence where a * was received as the currency denomination. Should you wish to search on all items of the value of one pound and fifty pence you would enter the following text, *\*1.50*. In this scenario the \ differentiates the * as being the search character (i.e. the * is a character stored on the remote server rather than the start of the wildcard).
Supported Wildcards
Note: If any of the following wildcards are characters within the stored text on the remote server it is
necessary to place a \ prior to the character.
[ ] - Open and Close bracket
* - Star
? - Question mark
! - Exclamation mark
^ - Caret
- - Hyphen
\ - Back slash
Save Image to Clipboard
It is possible to save an image (being displayed on screen) to the clipboard. Highlight the image and select the right mouse button, the images will be automatically copied to the clipboard and will be accessible for a compatible graphics package.

affect the quality of the image.
WARNING: When running the unit at maximum Record Rate (50pps or 20ms in Standard Record Settings),
this will affect viewing and network transmission, as the video codecs will be running close to capacity ­the unit’s priority is to record the footage to the internal HDD, so transmission performance will be reduced. This is exhibited by slow connection to the html pages and reduced viewing frame rates. Multi-user viewing will also be affected. It is not recommended to set the Standard Record rate to 20ms for everyday usage, but rather only for specific situations where this rate is necessary.
Function Description
Advanced Setup
This option gives access to the configuration page to allow alias configuration for the MPEG4 mode, refer to the Advanced Setup section below.
Video Expiry Period
This indicates the maximum time any images can be stored on the hard disk, if the record duration is less than the video expiry period the images will automatically be overwritten.
Spot Monitor Dwell Time
The unit supports an option Spot monitor output where a single or a sequence of cameras can be viewed full screen. If a sequence is to be displayed identify the time period each image is to be displayed on the monitor.
Record Duration
The total record time available in (DD) Days and (HH) Hours. This indicates the storage capacity of the system without any alarm recording. This is estimated from size of video storage, the standard record rate and the requested target size of the recorded images. Note: Changing the Record Duration will automatically update the Standard Record Rate. Changing the Standard Record Rate will likewise update the Record Rate.
Standard Record Rate
This is global setting and identifies the ‘common pictures per second’ for all enabled video inputs on the unit. This record rate will be allocated unless otherwise actioned
(Alarm or Variable Record Rate). It can be set in milliseconds or the number of pictures per second.
The delay between consecutive images from any one camera is the Standard Record Rate multiplied by the number of cameras being recorded. Changing the Standard Record Rate will automatically update the Record Duration. Changing the Record Duration will likewise change the Standard Record Rate.
Example Record Rates show the pps and the equivalent ms: 100 picture per second or 40ms 50 pictures per second or 20ms 25pps or 40ms 20pps or 50ms 10 pps or 100ms 8pps or 125ms 5 pps or 200ms 2pps or 500ms 1pps or 1000ms.
