TVE-120-420-820-1620 Encoder User Manual 7
Getting started
All encoder configuration and control is done via the webpage. Before you start using
the encoder, you must first activate the device by setting up a strong password.
Default network settings
The default network settings are:
• IP address - 192.168.1.70
• Subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
• Gateway address - 192.168.1.1
• HTTP port: 80
• Server: 8000
When you f irst start up the device, the Activation window appears. You must define a
high security admin password before you can access the device. There is no default
password provided.
Tips on creating a strong password:
• A valid password range must be between 8 and 16 characters. You can use a
combination of numbers, lower and upper case letters, and special characters: _ - , *
& @ / $ ? Space. The password must contain characters from at least two of these
groups.
• The password is case-sensitive so use a mixture of upper and lower case letters.
• Do not use personal information or common words as a password
User Name: It is always “admin”. It cannot
be changed. The bar showing password strength
Enter the new admin password and confirm it.

2. Enter the IP address of the encoder (for example, http://192.168.1.70). Press the
Enter key on the computer. The system displays the login window.
3. Enter the user name (default: admin) and password to log into the system. The
encoder’s main page appears, which by default is Live View (see page 11).
Device manager network settings
Use TruVision Device M anag er to find and configure the IP address and other
parameters of the device. This tool automatically identifies TruVision devices that
support “auto-discovery” anywhere on the network, even in different subnets.
To use the TruVision Device Manager:
1. Download the tool from our website.
2. Double-click the shortcut icon to open the tool. Click Device Manager to begin the
discovery process. The list of TruVision devices located on your network appears.
