6. Tips for Using iCanServer440R
6.1. Alarm Input/Output
The Alarm In/RLY OUT Connector is used to connect the various sensing and alerting devices. Examples of sensing devices are infrared sensors, motion sensors, heat/smoke sensors, magnetic sensor, etc. Examples of alerting devices are loud speaker, flashing light, etc
Figure 6-1. Alarm IN/RLY OUT Connector
No. Name Description
1 In - Input signal from external sensor device (-) 2 In + Input signal from external sensor device (+) 3 Out - Output signal to external alerting device (-) 4 Out + Output signal to external alerting device (+)
1. Alarm Input(ALARM IN)
Connect the two wires of the sensors. The sensor type can be set in Administrative Mode(Ref. 5.5 & 5.6). Output lines providing on-off switching are connected between “In-“ and “In+” pins. Figure 6-2 shows the input circuit of “Alarm In”.

6.2. Trouble Shooting
1. After iCanServer440R is successfully installed.
•
iCanServer440R in viewing mode, neither channel name nor video is display and
eventually timeout message is shown up.
Check the power and network connection of iCanServer440R.
To check if the network is properly operating, open the browser and try to connect to any server.
Example) http://www.icantek.com
Or open the MS-DOS Prompt and type the following.
ping www.icantek.com
Then press Enter. If you see the “ Reply from …” message it means that the network is working properly. To check if the iCanServer440R is connected, open the MS-DOS Prompt and type the following.
ping [the IP of the server]
Example) ping 192.168.1.112
If you see the “Reply from …” message, it means that the server is properly connected. If you do not see a Reply message, check if the network cable and power cable are properly connected.
•
Name of the channel on iCanServer440R is displayed but there is no video.
Check if there is input video source to the channel. And check if there is a firewall in the network. Check if the network is NAT type.
In case there is a firewall in the network:
Try a TCP connection. TCP connection is usually enabled by checking TCP box before connecting to iCanServer440R. Refer to viewer manual for more detailed operation.
If the network is NAT type, you need port mapping. It is be achieved by setting the NAT server to forward all packets coming in through a specific port to iCanServer440R.

2. After Successfully Connecting to the iCanServer440R
•
Video movement is slow.
z In Basic Setup of Admin Mode, lower the “Quality”. High quality means more data.
You can also set the “Max. Bandwidth” to higher value. But this value must be lower than the maximum upload speed of your network. For example, if the maximum uploading bandwidth of the network is 400Kbps, set the total “Max. Bandwidth” of the 4 channels to 384Kbps. If you set it higher, the video image can be corrupted with artifacts. Ask your network manager or ISP for maximum uploading bandwidth of the network.
z Check whether dual streaming mode is enabled and iCanServer440R is recording
video. Dual streaming mode is enabled by selecting “Enable High Quality Video Recording” in basic set-up page (Refer to Section 5.2). When dual streaming mode is enabled, iCanServer440R provides low speed video to connected user while recording high quality video into HDD.
•
The image is dull and I see green, pink dots.
This could be caused by performance limitation of the PC. Do not run too many programs while running viewer program. The other reason could be missing data while transmission from iCanServer440R.
•
Mosaic phenomenon.
Mosaic phenomenon occurs when not enough network bandwidth is available considering the resolution and frame rate of the video. Example is 640x480 video with low Max. Bandwidth. Users are recommended to adjust resolution and frame rates to lower values for lower bandwidth network.
3. How can I maintain high quality video recording when I’m using low speed network
iCanServer440R has Dual streaming mode that enables high quality video recording on the HDD,
Rev.2.0 (Aug. 2004)

while providing lower quality video to on-line users. Th is feature is enabled by selecting “Enable High Quality Recording” in basic set-up mode. (Refer to 5.2 for more detailed information.)
6.3. How To Upgrade Your iCanServer440R System
1. Log on to administration mode and select “Update & Reset” menu.
2. C lick "Browse..." to find the files you want to use for upgrade. This will open a "Choose file" dialogue window. The file extension is “ief”.
3. Wh en you've found the file, click "Open." This will select the file and close the "Choose file" dialogue window.
4. C lick the "INSTALL" butt on. An alert message box will pop up. Click “OK” button then it will start uploading the file. This may take some time.
5. Upgrade completion message will appear after the system upgrade has been completed.
6. Reboot iCanServer440R by performing “System Reset”.
7. After rebooting, log on to the administration mode again and click the “Status Report” in the
left side.
8. Check the version and release date of the iCanServer440R ™.
You can download iCanServer440R system software from iCanTek’s homepage.
