CAUTION

z THIS PRODUCT HAS MULTIPLE-RATED VOLTAGES (110V AND 220V). MAKE

SURE TO SET THE VOLTAGE SELECTION SWITCH AT THE REAR PANEL TO PROPER VOL TAGE LEVEL OF YOUR REGION.

THIS PRODUCT USES A LITHIUM BATTERY. RISK OF EXPLOSION IF THE BATTERY ON THE MAIN BOARD IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS.

z THIS EQUIPMENT AND ALL COMMUNICATION WIRINGS ARE INTENDED FOR

INDOOR USE.

z TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THE UNIT

TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

Rack Mount Instructions

A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips)."

1. Introduction

1.1. Overview

A triplex MPEG-4 16-channel DVR, MyDVR1630/930 (myDVR930 Nine-channel model), features iCanTek’s powerful embedded RTOS (real time operating system).

While improving overall video quality, the MPEG-4 video codec (video coder/decoder), affords state of the art performance. MPEG-4 delivers uncompromised performance providing high compression plus high quality video images. Thus MyDVR1630/930 affords more days of recording between overwrite periods, while improving the quality of video images. Full triplex capability ensures uninterrupted recording. MyDVR1630/930 supports simultaneous:

1. Video Recording

2. Live Video Monitoring

• Locally via the front panel controls and monitor output

• Remotely via myNVR ™ Network Client

3. File archiving via USB 2.0 port

1. Video Recording

2. Remote Playback via network client application, myNVR™.

myNVR also supports powerful remote control features, including synchronized full duplex (bidirectional) audio communication.

3-7-1. Ports

Port Forward for access from a WAN

When one or more DVRs 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, so that each port, when accessed on the IP sharing device, will forward to the appropriate DVR’s IP and or MAC address. The port number is listed next to the Port menu option in the Network menu. If you only plan to access multiple units

from

within a local area network, you do not need to change the RTSP and HTTP

3-7-2. Network types

Configure one of three network types: LAN, DHCP, and ADSL. Each type requires different settings.

LAN

To use the LAN option when connecting the DVR to a network, the following information is required. If you do not have this information, see your network administrator.

DHCP

Select DHCP (for Dynamic IP Addressing) to enable this feature. The DHCP server or a router automatically assigns the unit an IP address and other appropriate TCP/IP settings. After connecting to the network, view the assigned IP address by selecting DESCRIPTION from the SYSTEM menu.

If the network connection does not afford additional IP addresses, use an IP sharing device to remedy the problem. Port forwarding may be necessary in order to connect

to this device. Also, if a firewall is deployed on the IP sharing device, these ports must be opened to the outside network segment. For more information on port forwarding, see the documentation for your IP sharing device/router, or your network administrator.

ADSL

MyDVR supports direct PPPoE connections to ADSL modems without a router. The following information is required. If you do not have this information, see your network administrator.

Table 3.7.2.2. Network parameters for ADSL

Item Description

The user ID for ADSL connection

PASSWORD

The password for ADSL connection

The ADSL modem connection must have an RJ45 jack to connect to the DVR (USB Networking is not supported).

Sharing an ADSL connection with other devices requires an IP sharing device/router. In this case, select LAN as the NETWORK type. Port forwarding is required in order to access myDVR through a GATE WAY/Router and/or Firewall. See the documentation for your IP sharing device, or contact your network administrator to learn more about port forwarding. If your router has QoS (Quality of Service) and our gaming feature, you may want to enable this for the IP address for myDVR. Some ISPs block some ports commonly used for streaming video. If your ISP blocks the default port, simply change the port number to an unblocked port. See the iCanTek technical support web page for additional help trouble shooting blocked ports.
