Commissioning Plan
Overview
Commissioning is the process of installing, configuring, and setting up the MAXPRO NVR
system hardware and software. At the end of the commissioning process, the MAXPRO NVR
system is equipped for use by operators to perform video surveillance operations.
Steps in the Commissioning Process
The process of commissioning involves the following phases.
Setting up the MAXPRO NVR
Setting up the MAXPRO NVR involves:
1
•Determining the number of MAXPRO
•Choosing the desired MAXPRO NVR system architecture.
•Connecting the monitors to the MAXPRO NVR. After connecting the monitors, configure
the monitor display properties.
•Connecting the keyboards (for example, Ultrakey) to the MAXPRO NVR unit.
Note:See Setting up the MAXPRO NVR for information on how to setup the MAXPRO
NVR system.
NVR server and client computers at the location.
Installing the Software in the Server and Client
Computers
Caution: For the Honeywell’s boxed solutions: MAXPRO NVR PE, MAXPRO NVR
XE, and MAXPRO NVR SE, the server and client software required is
already installed on the box. Hence the instructions in this section for
server software fresh installation are NOT applicable.
MAXPRO NVR Commissioning and Installation Guide19
COMMISSIONING PLAN

Steps in the Commissioning Process
Installing the software involves the following steps:
•The server and client computers meet the minimum hardware and software
requirements.
•Installing the MAXPRO NVR software.
Note:See Installing MAXPRO NVR for information on software requirements and
installation instructions for the MAXPRO NVR software.
Configuring MAXPRO NVR
In this phase, you need to configure the MAXPRO NVR through the user interface. Configuring
MAXPRO NVR includes the following:
•Configuring the Honeywell cameras with MAXPRO NVR Wizard
•Configuring the system level settings
•Configuring the disk management settings
•Configuring the schedule based recording for cameras
•Performing user administration
Note:See Configuring MAXPRO NVR for information on how to configure the MAXPRO
NVR system.
Verifying the Configuration
•Verifying the configuration involves checking whether the surveillance operations can be
performed using MAXPRO NVR. Surveillance operations include: viewing the live video,
performing the pan, tilt, and zoom on the video, and starting the video recording.
Note:See Verifying the Configuration for information on how to perform the verification.

The number of monitors that you can connect to the MAXPRO NVR unit varies based on the
NVR Edition you purchase. Refer to the MAXPRO NVR Data Sheet for more information.
Powering on the MAXPRO NVR Unit
This section describes the steps to power on the MAXPRO NVR unit.
Note:Honeywell recommends using an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) for the
MAXPRO NVR unit and the cameras. Powering the cameras and unit from a UPS
ensures that the MAXPRO NVR unit can continue to record video during a power
outage. If you need to monitor video during a power outage, consider a UPS for
the client workstations as well.
To power on the MAXPRO NVR unit
1. Turn on camera(s) and other hardware connected to the MAXPRO NVR unit.
2. Press and hold the power button on front of the MAXPRO NVR unit. The power button
turns “blue” after the MAXPRO NVR unit is turned on.
. . . . .
3. After powering on the unit, you are prompted to log on. The default user is user name:
Administrator, password: Password1. The user name and password are case sensitive.
After logging in, the MAXPRO NVR Wizard automatically starts up.
Note:
•You can change the default password, Password1, see the Changing the
default Windows Password on MAXPRO NVR section for more information.
•Refer to the MAXPRO NVR Operator’s Guide for more information on the
MAXPRO NVR Wizard.
To turn off the power for MAXPRO NVR
1. Close the MAXPRO NVR application.
2. Click Start>Shut Down. Wait for the MAXPRO NVR unit to shut down.
Changing the MAXPRO NVR IP Address and
Machine Name
Your MAXPRO NVR unit has pre-configured network ports with the following default IP
addresses.
•192.168.1.101 for NIC1 (Camera Network)
•172.25.254.101 for NIC2 (Client Workstation Network)
