Chapter 3 Video Server Setup
There are three kinds of methods to configure the parameters of video server.
1. Through Hyper Terminal (connect DVS with the PC through RS-232 serial ports)
2. Through client-end application software (connect DVS with PC through network)
3.1 Parameter Setup through RS-232 serial port
Mainly set up IP parameters of the video server through serial port. The defaulted IP address
is 192.0.0.62.
Under the case that the IP address is unknown; the Hyper Terminal (need to connect the serial
ports) can only be adopted to configure IP address and other parameters. Under the case that IP
address is known, TELNET can be adopted to configure IP address and other parameters, and can
also modify the IP address by using client-end software.
3.1.1 Hyper Terminal Setup
Please direct connect the RS-232 serial port of PC with the RS-232 serial port of video server
before configuration (there are RJ45 head and DB9 line in the packing carton)
How to establish the connection with the super terminal connection?
Step one: Enter into Hyper Terminal. Click “Start” Æ “Programs” Æ “Accessories” Æ

Chapter 4 Upgrade Firmware
There are two methods to upgrade the DVS firmware. One is using shell commands to ask
DVS to download firmware from TFTP server. The other is using PC client software.
4.1 Use Shell Command and TFTP Server
Step 1:
Before the update start you should do the follow steps:
1. Download the TFTP server from the internet, such as Cisco TFTP Server. Then put the
firmware in the root directory of the Cisco TFTP Server.
2. Connect the device to the Router.
3. Please use DTE cable to connect device 232 port with COM port of the server PC.
4. Configure the Hyper Terminal. Steps as below.
Enter into start----all programs----accessories------communications-----hyper terminal. Click hyper
terminal.
1) Input the name “hikvision”. And do the step 1 again. Then enter into fig 4. select COM1 and
click “OK” to enter into fig 5.

Chapter 5 PPPoE Dialup Operation
DS-6100HCI-ATA video server supports remote access through network, through browser,
through PPPoE or PPP dialup. Before using this function, please make sure that the software you
used in your device support such functions or not.
5.1 Using PPPoE to establish connection
In the local LAN, use the client software remote setup the DVS parameters. The setup dialog
is looked as following:
In the server parameters sub dialog, enable PPPoE function, input the correct PPPoE user
name and PPPoE password. Click “OK” button and “Save Para.” button. The new server
parameters will be saved into video server through network. Reboot the video server, the DVS will
start to dialup the internet. After success, the video server will get a dynamic WAN IP address.
User Manual of DS-6000HCI-ATA Net Digital Video Server
- 29 -
[Explanation] please make sure that ADSL Modem is installed. If it is the first time to set
PPPoE parameters, it needs to reboot video server to establish the connection.
5.2 Client access DVS when using PPPoE
There are two methods:
One is to access using the current WAN IP address of the video server.
When the video server is successful establish the network connection by using PPPoE mode,
it will get the WAN IP address. You can use Hyper Terminal to get the WAN IP address, and
access this IP address through client software.
The other is to access through domain analysis server. By using this mode, you need a PC
with a fixed WAN IP address in the Internet, and there is the domain analysis server software
running in this PC (actually thi s PC is the analysis server). We provide such demo DNS software
and SDK.
In the server parameters of video server, there is an item named DNS. Please input the PC
fixed WAN IP address here. When the video server is successfully connection with the internet by
using PPPoE, it will get a dynamic WAN IP address, and send the name and current IP address to
the analysis server. If the client-end software wants to access the video server, it’d first to
User Manual of DS-6000HCI-ATA Net Digital Video Server
- 30 -
connect with the PC used as the analysis server, telling the analysis server which one video server
he wants to access. The analysis server will search all the video servers have been registered, find
out the server with the same name or same serial number, and tell the client-end the WAN IP
address of the video server. After the client-end software get the current IP address, it can establish
the network connection with the video server to get the video im ages directly.
Here the fixed WAN IP address of PC is 220.184.114.48. We call it as DNS IP. In that the PC,
one demo analysis server software named IPServer is run. It can get the video server information,
including the dynamic WAN IP address of the video server.

Chapter 6 Frequent Ask Questions
1, Failure to control PTZ
It is possible that the camera and equipment are not connected through RS485
port, or the wrong configuration of the decoder.
2，certain individual channel picture is un-normal
Please check whether the video cable is well connected with the camera and the
Embedded DVS
3，Possible reasons which can cause the failure of upgrading
Failure of the network, IP address error in the FTP host computer, FTP service is
not been booted by PC, the path to upgrade is not correct, no permission (usually
happened when to upgrade through client-end.)
If the above information cannot meet your demand, please not hesitate to contact
the provider.
