Chapter
1. Introduction
The EverFocus EMX32 IP Decoder is an open, true 1080p HD Decoder. The device can
simultaneously decode up to four high definition (1080P) or standard definition (720P) video
streams, and display those streams in up to four division screens on a monitor. The EMX32 IP
Decoder can display its views on HD monitors or televisions.
The EMX32 IP Decoder is able to decode IP streams from EverFocus and ONVIF and
RTSP-compliant IP devices. It is used as a medium to connect the cameras and the monitor for
displaying video in different screen division. It supports the third-party IP cameras which are
compatible with ONVIF standards and RTSP protocol, and it can automatically search for ONVIF
supported third-party IP devices under the same LAN.
The cost-effective EMX32 IP Decoder eliminates the cost of the traditional DVR or PC. Just used
with a monitor only, you can easily view all the IP or analog video streams. The operator can
control and configure the settings either through the user-friendly local display OSD or by the
intuitive web-based user interface.
The EMX32 provide two video outputs HDMI and VGA, and both video output ports can be used
simultaneously. It also has one RS-485 port for connecting joystick or keyboard. This slim,
compact and VESA-mountable design is easy to install and can be used anywhere such as retail
stores or offices.

2.4 Connecting the IP decoder to the Network
There are three methods to connect the IP decoder to the network: Router or LAN Connection,
Direct High‐Speed Connection and One‐to‐One Connection. For more information of the
network, please refer to Appendix A. Network Overview.
2.4.1 Router or LAN Connection
This is the most common connection in which the IP decoder is connected to a router and
allows multiple users on and off site to see the IP decoder on a LAN/WAN (Internet). The IP
decoder must be assigned an IP address that is compatible with its LAN. By setting up port
forwarding on the router, you can remotely access the cameras from outside of the LAN via
the Internet. To remotely access the Web interface, please refer to 6. Remote Access to the
IP decoder. To set up port forwarding, please consult the manual of the router or refer to
Appendix B: Linksys & D-Link Port Forwarding.
14
EMX32
Connection Procedure:
The First step is to purchase or make a straight through cable. We recommend
purchasing one if you have never made a straight through cable. Please remember
you can not use a cross-over network cable for this application.
Once you have a straight through cable, plug one end into the LAN port on the back
of the recorder and the other into the router.
Log into the EverFocus IP decoder menu and go to the Network Setting Menu.
To let the router automatically assign an address:
Set the Network Type to DHCP. Make sure to write down the IP address and the
Gateway.
Exit from the Menu to save settings.
To manually assign an address:
Go to a computer connected on the same network as the IP decoder.
Click on the Start button and choose Run.
If using Windows Vista, choose Search instead.
Type “command” and click on OK.
In Vista, you will need to double-click on the “Command Prompt” file to open it.
In the DOS prompt, type “ipconfig” and press Enter.
The network information will be displayed on a screen similar to the one below.
In Windows Vista, look for the information that says “IP v4”.
15
EMX32
Note: The IP decoder’s IP address will only work at the location of the IP decoder. To
Note: If you changed to a different port other than 80, you will need to include this
Take the values for Subnet Mask and Default Gateway and input them into the IP
decoder; these values should be exactly the same in both devices. However, you
should change the last number of the IP address. For example, if the IP address
of the computer is 192.168.2.101, the IP decoder’s IP address should be
192.168.2.50.
To access the IP decoder from a computer simply open Internet Explorer and in the
address bar type:
http:// (IP address of the IP decoder)
connect from a different location over the Internet, see below.
To set the IP decoder for Internet Connection through router:
The next step is to open ports within your router. Log into the router using a PC and
open the following ports.
Ports to open: 80
If your Internet service provider blocks port 80, you can change it to a different
port in the IP decoder’s Network Menu Setup; open/forward that port instead.
If you are using a Linksys or D-Link router, see Appendix B for basic support on
setting up ports. For any other router, you will need to contact the manufacturer
for support.
To access the IP decoder from a computer simply open Internet Explorer and in the
address bar type:
http:// (the IP address given by your internet service provider)
at the end of the IP address:
http:// (the IP address given by your internet service provider):port number
If you have a WAN Dynamic IP address and have opened the ports, go to 6.7.3 DDNS
Setup to configure the DDNS settings.

Note: If you have a dynamic IP address, you can set the IP decoder to DHCP to
Note: When using this type of connection, only one device can be connected to the
2.4.2 Direct High-Speed Connection
In a Direct High-Speed Connection, the IP decoder connects directly to a modem without
the need for a router. You need to set the static or dynamic WAN IP address assigned by
your ISP (Internet Service Provider) in the IP decoder’s configuration web pages. To access
the IP decoder, just type “http://xxx”, where xxx is the IP address given by your ISP. If you
have a dynamic IP address, this connection may require that you use DDNS for a reliable
connection.
Connection Procedure:
The first step is to purchase or make a straight through cable. We recommend
purchasing one if you have never made a straight through cable. Please remember
you can not use a cross-over network cable for this application
Once you have a straight through cable plug one end into the LAN port on the back of
the recorder and the other into the high speed modem.

Right: Pinout of a crossed-over cable.
2.4.3 One-to-One Connection
You can connect directly without using a switch, router or modem. However, only the PC
connected to the IP decoder will be able to view the IP decoder. You will also have to
manually assign a compatible IP address to both the computer and the IP decoder. Unless
the PC has another network connection, the IP decoder will be the only network device
visible to the PC. See the diagram below:
Connection Procedure:
The First step is to purchase or make a cross-over cable. We recommend purchasing
one if you have never made a cross-over cable. Please remember you can not use a
straight through network cable for this application.
Once you have a cross-over cable, plug one end into the LAN port on the back of the
IP decoder and the other into the network card on the back of the computer.
Log into the EverFocus IP decoder menu and go to the Network Setting Menu.
You must use the Static IP option for this type of connection.
Assign an IP of 192.168.001.003, a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.000, and a Gateway
of 192.168.001.001. You can ignore DNS Server.
The next step is to set the computer’s network settings to match those of the IP
decoder. You will need Administrator privileges on your Windows machine to do this.
To assign a fixed IP address in Windows 2000/XP, follow the instructions below:

Note:
2.5 Checking the Dynamic IP Address
You can look up the IP address and access the Web interface of the IP decoder using the IP
Utility (IPU) program, which is contained in the CD. It can also be downloaded from
EverFocus’ Website: http://www.everfocus.com/HQ/Support/DownloadCenter_p1.aspx.
Please connect the IP decoder in the same LAN of your computer.
1. Install and then start the IPU program . The following dialog box appears.
2. IPU will automatically search the IP devices connected in the LAN. The default network
values of the IP devices will be displayed. By default, the network protocol of the IP device
is DHCP.
3. To optionally configure the Machine Name, IP Address, IP Type or Port Number using the
IPU:
a. Log in the IP decoder by checking the desired model and then click the Log in
icon. The Log in dialog box appears.
b. Type the Username and Password. Click the OK button, the status of the selected
camera will display Login.
1. The default user ID is admin and the default password is 11111111.
2. If you select more than one IP decoders that have the same user ID / password,
you will be able to log in several IP decoders at once.
