Point-to-Point Configuration

To configure the device, you need the SConfigurator software. It is included on the Verint web site: www.verint.com/manuals. Copy its executable file (SConfigurator.exe) to the hard disk of your computer.

The configuration tasks are:

1. Preparing the wireless system

2. Providing SConfigurator parameters

3. Providing the initial parameters

To prepare the wireless system:

1. Change the IP address of the computer running SConfigurator. F or the

detailed procedure, refer to the Nextiva S4100 Series User Guide. The recommended settings are:

 IP address: 172.16.23.1  Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0  Default gateway: 172.16.23.1

Write down the initial values to put them back when the configuration is finished.

2. In a lab, unpack the receiver (-R) and the transmitter (-T) and set them on a table.

3. Write down the serial numbers of the devices in a safe place.

4. Plug the supplied video/serial/power cable into the main connector of

the S4100-R.

5. Power the S4100-R using the red and black wires of the video/serial/power cable.

a. In 12V DC, connect each power wire of the power cable to the

corresponding wire of the power supply: the red wire to the input (+) wire and the black wire to the ground wire (-). For more information, refer to the power supply documentation.

b. In 24V AC, connect each power wire of the supplied cable to a wire

on the power supply. Both wires are used for power.

c. Connect the electrical plug into the outlet.

6. Connect an Ethernet cable between the network (RJ-45) connector on

the S4100-R and the computer.

7. When the boot sequence of the receiver is completed, power the S4100-T (repeat step 5).

To provide SConfigurator parameters:

1. Start SConfigurator by double-clicking SConfigurator.exe on your

hard disk.

Warning: To avoid material damages, y ou mu st nev er power an y two

devices while their antennas are facing one another with a distance of less than 10 feet (3 meters).

On an S4100-2V, do not use the red and black wires of the second video/serial/power cable.

2. In the General tab, click Program Options.

3. In the IP Address of the PC list, select 172.16.23.1. If it does not

appear in the list, it may be because you did not temporarily change the IP address of your computer.

4. Ensure that the VSIP Port is 5510; otherwise, click Default.

5. Ensure that the Discovery IP Address is 255.255.255.255; otherwise, click Reset to Broadcast.

7. Select the Units tab, then click Discover.

To provide the initial parameters:

1. Select the S4100-R device, then click Configure.

2. Click Quick Setup.

3. In the Unit Name boxes, provide a meaningful name for the devices.

4. In the Country box, select the country of operation of the pair of

devices. Assign the proper country to comply to the DFS/TPC regulations, if applicable, to respect the maximum EIRP, and to use the proper set of frequency channels.

5. Ensure that the Repeater Mode value is Disabled.

13. Change the IP address of the computer back to its original value.

Installation

1. Fix the mounting assembly on the device, then install the device in its

final location. For instructions, refer to the Nextiva S4X00 Mounting Assembly Installation Guide included with the mounting assembly set.

2. Remove the dust caps from the main (Video/Serial/Power) and optionally the auxiliary connectors.

3. Plug the video/serial/power cable on the main connector of the S4100 device. T o properly install the cable connector on the device, use your hands and turn until it blocks. Do not use pliers.

4. Plug the BNC video connector of the video/serial/power cable on the target equipment associated to video 1.

5. Perform the serial connection to the target equipment.

6. If your device is a -2V model: a. Connect the second video/serial/power cable to the Auxiliary

connector of the S4100 device.

b. Plug the BNC video connector of the second video/serial/power

cable on the target equipment associated to video 2.

c. Perform the serial connection to the target equipment.

7. If you purchased the alarm/audio option, plug the supplied

alarm/audio cable into the Auxiliary connector of the device.

For more information about surge protection, refer to the “Surge Protection” appendix in the Nextiva S4100 Series User Guide.

8. To properly fuse the power supplied to the wireless device, install a fuse between the power source and the power cable. The fuse must have the following ratings: UL Listed, 250V, 2.5A, Fast-Acting.

9. Power up the S4100 device.

10. Repeat step 1 to step 9 for the second device.

Note: You must install the mounting assembly on the S4100. It is

required to properly mount and securely ground the wireless device.

Tip: For easy maintenance, it is strongly recommended to plug an

outdoor Ethernet cable on the device and to run it down the pole. Tie the cable to the pole 2 feet (0.7 meter) or less below the device, while ensuring that there is no tension between the device and the tie point. Insert the other end of the cable in a waterproof electrical box for outdoor applications. Add external surge protection near the device to protect the Ethernet port.

Tip: If you are installing the S4100 equipment in a lightning prone

environment or in a site where large AC mains power fluctuations are a common occurrence, add external surge protection to secure your equipment.

Tip: If the S4100 is directly exposed to the sun in an en vironment likely

to reach 122°F (50°C), install a sun shield. Otherwise, reduce the maximum operating temperature by 18°F (10°C) to protect the equipment; that is, without a sun shield, the maximum temperature should be 104°F (40°C).
