Installation
Before starting the IVTVision server, complete the following steps:
1. Mount the IVTVision server in a dust-free, climate-controlled (<70
server, causing component overheating. Elevated temperatures contribute to premature hard drive failures.
2. If the hard drives were shipped outside the system, insert each drive into the appropriately numbered hard drive slot.
3. Connect the IVTVision server to a true online UPS for maximum reliability. A true online UPS completely filters power surges and dips
that can damage the server.
4. Connect the IVTVision server network interface cards (NIC) to the appropriate network switch ports.
NOTE: If the video surveillance system does not have a physically isolated network, it’s recommended that all IP cameras and one server
NIC be connected to a dedicated camera VLAN. The camera manufacturer’s software should be installed on a PC in this subnet, or else
the router should be configured to allow a client computer to communicate with the camera subnet. This VLAN configuration reduces
the likelihood of network traffic conflicts and unauthorized access to the cameras.
5. Connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the server.
6. Connect analog cameras, PTZ serial cables, or alarm I/O as shown in the “Connections” section of this document. Note that connections
vary by model.
7. Using the camera manufacturer’s software, configure the IP address for all cameras. Record this information for future reference.
It’s recommended that you do not change the username and passwords until after IVTVision server connectivity is established.
NOTE: For additional information, see the camera manufacturer’s website or the IVTVision IP Camera Quick Start Guide at
http://www.inaxsys.com/media/quick_starts/IVTVision_IP_Quick_Start_March_15_2010.pdf. The Quick Start Guide can also be found
in the Quickstarts directory on the CD that shipped with your system.
To determine whether a particular camera model/firmware combination is compatible with IVTVision servers, visit the camera
integration page at http://www.inaxsys.com/en/support/ip-cameras-integration.html.
8. Test connectivity from the cameras to the server:
a. Log out of the operating system user account and log in to the administrator account. (The default
username/password is admin/admin256).
b. On Internet Explorer (Windows) or Firefox (Linux), enter the camera IP address in the address bar and press Enter.
If the browser displays an introductory or log-in screen, connectivity is confirmed. Repeat for all cameras.

Establish Initial Communications
After installing the server, complete the following steps:
1. Using a directly connected keyboard, monitor, and mouse, configure the server’s networking connections:
2. If the server will be configured through a remote IVTVision client instead of the server, install the client software:
3. If a remote IVTVision client is being used, add the server into the IVTVision Client configuration:
a. After the IVTVision Client software automatically starts on the server, expand the server device in the tree. Select
System Setup and then the Network tab.
b. For servers with multiple interfaces, select the appropriate NIC port from the drop-down menu at the top of the page:
i. If the server is installed on a network using static IP addressing (recommended), select Static, enter the
appropriate settings, and click Apply.
ii. If the server is installed on a network using DHCP (not recommended), select Dynamic and click Apply. After a brief delay,
all four parameter boxes should auto-fill with valid network settings. If not, contact your network administrator for
resolution.
c. Repeat this step for any additional network ports.
a. Download the latest IVTVision Client software from the Inaxsys website
at http://www.inaxsys.com/en/support/downloads/software-
downloads.html
b. Install the client software on a system administrator computer.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not run the IVTVision Client software directly on an IVTVision system. The system
requires that resources constantly be available for archiving, configuration, and search functions.
c. Confirm connectivity with the server using the ping command and server IP address. If the client PC cannot
communicate with the server, contact the network administrator.
a. On the system administrator PC, start the IVTVision Client software.
b. Select the Config (Setup) page button.
4. Proceed to the software configuration steps found in the software user manual. The manual can be downloaded from the
c. In the system tree, select Add System.
d. Click New and enter the username admin, password admin256, and IP address (static) or hostname (fixed)
configured in previous steps. e.
Click Apply.
i. If the new server appears in the system list table with a status of Connected, the initial server configuration is complete.
ii. If the server does NOT connect, but server connectivity was confirmed in previous steps, confirm the PC
anti-virus software is not blocking communications with the server IP addresses and ports.
