2.5 Quick Installation Guide
Brief information for rapid installation is provided in this section. For more detailed information you are recommended to refer to pertinent documentations provided with the product or refer to iCanTek’s home page (http://www.icantek.com)
1. Connect iCanView232 to LAN by using one of the following method
1) If your iCanView232 has standard PoE option, connect the network camera and PC as illustrated in Figure 2.4. Both power and network connections are made with a single LAN cable. Make sure that you are using hub supporting standard PoE (802.3af).
2) If your iCanView232 does not support standard PoE or you don’t have hub supporting standard PoE, connect iCanView232 as in Figure 2.5. The DC power is applied through AC adaptor.
2) If you have standard power connect the network camera and PC as illustrated in Figure

4. When one or more IP video products are connected through a IP sharing device (i.e. router) to a larger network (i.e. the internet), in order to access each unit from outside the local area network, each device must have a unique RTSP (Real Time Stream Protocol) and HTTP port number. You must also configure your IP sharing device for “port forwarding”. This is to enable the IP sharing device to forward packet data with unique port number (RTSP and HTTP) to unique internal IP address (local IP address).

Flickerless
In case of using NTSC type iCanView232 in 50Hz AC regions or using PAL type iCanView232 in 60Hz AC region, video output tends to flicker when iCanView232 is used under fluorescent lamps. This mode reduces the flickering phenomena. If this mode is selected, electronic shutter speed is set to 1/100 sec for NTSC camera while it is set to 1/120 for PAL camera to synchronize the shutter speed to AC current.
<Note> : Make sure that you apply this mode only when using NTSC camera in PAL region or PAL camera in NTSC region.

6.2. Trouble Shooting
1. After iCanView232 is successfully installed.
iCanView232 in viewing mode, neither channel name nor video is display and eventually timeout message is shown up.
Check the power and network connection of iCanView232.
To check if the network is properly operating, open the browser and try to connect to any server.
Example) http://www.yahoo.com
Or open the MS-DOS Prompt and type the following.
ping www.yahoo.com
Then press Enter. If you see the “ Re ply fro m …” message it means that the network is working properly. To check if the iCanView232 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.
2. After Successfully Connecting to the iCanView232
Video movement is slow.
In Basic Setup of Admin Mode, lower the “Quality”. High quality means more data. You can also set the “Max. upload rate” 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. upload rate” as 384Kbps. If you set it higher, the video image can be corrupted with artifacts. Ask your network manager or ISP for maximum uploadin g bandwidth of the network.
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 iCanView232.
Mosaic phenomenon.
Mosaic phenomenon occurs when not enough network bandwidth is available considering the resolution and frame rate of the video. Example is 704x480 video with low Max. upload rate. Users are recommended to adjust resolution and frame rates to lower values for lower bandwidth network.
