WHAT IS THE PELCONET NET4001A TRANSMISSION SYSTEM?
The PelcoNet NET4001A transmission system is technology that lets you view video in real time across a LAN (local area network) and
even WANs (wide area networks). This technology is based on the TCP/IP protocol suite and Ethernet technology, providing compatibility
with today’s networking standards.
The following devices can be controlled from your computer through Internet Explorer with the PelcoNet NET4001 Transmission System:
Spectra®, Esprit®, Genex® multiplexer, CM9760 (requires CM9760 data translator), CM9740 (requires CM9760 data translator), CM9502
(through integrated ASCII port), CM8500 (requires latest CM8500 data translator), CM6700 (through integrated ASCII port, COM 2), and
the CM6800 matrix.
(See the
Glossary
section for definitions of terms used in this manual.)
HOW DO LANS AND WANS WORK?
•A LAN consists of multiple computers connected together, sharing information. This information could be files, e-mail, printers, or—
with the PelcoNet NET4001A transmission system—even live video and audio.
•A WAN consists of multiple LANs connected over a great distance (for example, the Internet).
• In any network environment, each computer needs an address so other computers on the network know how to reach it.
It is similar to a city with street addresses. For the post office to deliver mail to your house, you need a unique street address for the
mail carrier to find you. A network is like a city. Like a street address, the IP address on your computer is your address on the
network. The IP address is how other computers can find you on the network.
Remember that the IP address must be unique on the network.
• When there are multiple networks and you are using the TCP/IP protocol, there must be a way to communicate between the two
networks. A physical device called a router is required. The router’s IP address is referred to as the default gateway IP address.
•A cable that connects one computer to another is like a city street you can use to get from one house to another. The cable lets you
communicate with each other on the network. This cable is Category 5 cable with RJ-45 connectors at each end. (It looks like a
phone cord, only slightly larger.)
WHO SHOULD INSTALL THE PELCONET NET4001A TRANSMISSION SYSTEM?
NOTE: Unless you are very familiar with how computers work, consult your network administrator for help.
Installation is a matter of configuring an IP address using a standard terminal program or any Internet browser and connecting the
PelcoNet NET4001A transmission system to the Ethernet network. You should have the following background and experience to configure
and install these units:
•Working knowledge of basic network management concepts and terminology
•Working knowledge of tools and procedures for installing and operating sensitive electronic equipment
C2904M-B (2/05) 9
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR
The PelcoNet™ NET4001A multimedia transmission system allows live video transmission to be viewed over TCP/IP-based networks. This
section is intended to help the network administrator know what is involved with installing this product and how it will affect the network.
The person installing the product will need the following information about the network to make the product function properly.
THE TRANSMITTER-RECEIVER
•A valid IP address* for each PelcoNet NET4001A transmission system unit
• Subnet mask*
• Default gateway (if applicable)
• E-mail server’s IP address (if applicable)
• Dedicated maximum allowable amount of bandwidth for live video**
*Required for the PelcoNet NET4001A transmission system to function properly.
**The PelcoNet NET4001A Transmission System requires a continuous amount of bandwidth to display true live video. Pelco recommends
using switches with the product so the amount of bandwidth available to each unit is constant and reliable.
THE BROWSER
If you plan to use a web browser to view live video across the network, there are procedures to complete before you can use the browser.
If you installed Internet Explorer® 6.0 from the CD that came with the PelcoNet NET4001A transmission system, you can skip the
following. Otherwise, complete the following before trying to use the browser.
1. Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher must be installed before continuing.
2. Set the computer’s display settings to use 16- or 32-bit color. (This is required for the live video feature to function properly.)
3. Click the Start menu in Windows®.
4. Click Run.
5. In the Open box, type D:\ACTIVEX\SETUP.EXE (where D:\ = your CD ROM drive letter).
6. Click OK.
7. Follow the on-screen setup instructions to finish installing the plug-in.

OVERVIEW
NOTE: This manual refers to the PelcoNet NET4001A transmission system when discussing features, functions, or specifications that
apply to the transmitter/receiver. “Receiver,” as used in this manual, refers to the PelcoNet NET4001A unless otherwise noted.
DESCRIPTION
The PelcoNet NET4001A Transmission System is a network video server whose primary purpose is to encode and decode live video, audio,
and control data for transmission over existing Ethernet computer networks (either intranet or Internet) using the TCP/IP protocol. You can
view the pictures on a CCTV or PC monitor.
The NET4001A functions as a transmitter/receiver and is the only unit required to use the PelcoNet NET4001A transmission system. The
NET4001A connects any NTSC or PAL video sources (cameras, for example) to the computer network.
Depending on how you want to display the video, you can use a NET4001A as a transmitter with a PC or a NET4001A as a receiver. There
are two ways to display remote video:
•Web browser using any PC on the network to display the video
•A NET4001A (as a receiver) with attached standard NTSC or PAL monitor
Two NET4001A units (as transmitter and receiver) can form a standalone system for data transfer without a PC.
Transmitters and receivers are identified by IP addresses, just like any other equipment connected to a computer network.
There is a bi-directional serial interface for remote control of peripherals like PTZ cameras. This interface can also transmit transparent
data. The NET4001A transmits full-duplex audio.
In appropriately configured networks, the multicast function permits simultaneous video transmission in real time to several receivers. For
this to work, the UDP and IGMP multicasting protocols must be implemented in the network.
The NET4001A incorporates dual processors. It operates with the MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 video compression standards. MPEG-2
encoding allows the data bit rate to remain low even with high image quality. Also, it can be matched into the local environment within
wide limits. In this process, simultaneous encoding of the video signal according to MPEG-4 is supported so concurrent transmission using
low bandwidth (for example, for Internet streaming) is possible. This flexibility lets you view a camera in one compression standard, for
example, while recording in another compression standard if you wish.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
DISPLAYING REMOTE VIDEO ON A WEB BROWSER
The NET4001A uses MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 for transmitting audio and video across the network. This enables transmission to standard web
browsers of either live video (Live Video mode) or a stream of still images (Server Push mode).
•To activate the Live Video feature, click Live Video above the video window on the PelcoNet NET4001A transmission system home
page (refer to Figure 3). The unit transmits using MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 format for display in the browser.
To stop Live Video, click any other option at the top of the page.
•To activate the Server Push feature, click Server Push above the video window on the PelcoNet NET4001A transmission system
home page. The unit continuously grabs snapshots to be JPEG encoded, transferred, and displayed continuously by the browser.
To stop Server Push, click any other option at the top of the page.
The PelcoNet NET4001A transmission system can display live video to an infinite number of users at a time (multicasting).
Server Push can support multiple users simultaneously on the same transmitter. Image quality is good with an update rate of one image
about every 2 to 10 seconds depending on the number of users and available bandwidth.
Browsers that do not support live video technology can display an updated still image or a stream of images in Server Push mode.

Figure 4. Configuration for Box-To-Box Connections
There are two ways to make a high performance multimedia transmission system for computer networks:
• One way is to use just the NET4001A as a transmitter and connect it through the computer network to a PC with a web browser at
the receiving end.
• Another way is to connect a NET4001A as a transmitter through the computer network to another NET4001A as a receiver. This is
often called a box-to-box connection because it uses two PelcoNet units.
In either case, routing dedicated cables from a camera to a monitor is not required because you can use an existing computer network for
that purpose.
The following explains a box-to-box connection.
1. First, the NET4001A transmitter and receiver need to be configured appropriately. If the units are supposed to be operated in
different subnets, a gateway IP address must be configured. Use the Live video receiver IP address field to address the destination.
Enter the settings using either a terminal program or a web browser.
2. Once all addresses are configured, under the terminal program menu, go into the “Rcp+” menu and press 1 to make the connection.
Or program the live video receive IP address and enable the live auto connect setting through the web browser. Make sure the unit
that will initiate the connection has an alarm IP address that points to the destination unit. After a few seconds, video transmission
begins and the camera scene appears on the monitor attached to the receiver.
Instead of using a terminal program or web browser for establishing a connection, you can attach a contact to the alarm input. Make
sure the alarm input is enabled.
You can use a web browser to connect to either of the two units, even during an active box-to-box connection. This way you can make
changes to the configuration and immediately see the result of the setting (for example, when changing video quality). (This is not true for
passwords, however.) If you are connected to the transmitter, the camera pictures are sent to the receiver and web browser simultaneously. There will be a short break in the video display on the receiver monitor whenever the web browser requests a new frame. This is
especially noticeable with the Server Push feature.
Full-duplex audio can be transmitted in parallel with the video transmission. To do so, you need to use the web browser to enable audio
on the Video Encoder Settings MPEG-1/-2 page.
Transparent data is always transmitted automatically between the two units as soon as the connection becomes active. Data bytes
entering the interface are transported to the other end transparently. There is no flow control mechanism for the data channel. Overflowing the serial interface will cause data loss.
To sever the connection from either end, in the “Rcp+” menu press 3 (or disable the alarm).

CONNECTING AUDIO EQUIPMENT
The NET4001A provides an audio channel via the audio in and out jacks.
1. Connect a pre-amplified microphone to the Audio In jack on the transmitter and/or receiver.
2. Connect a loudspeaker to the Audio Out jack on the transmitter and/or receiver.
The audio signals are transmitted bi-directionally and simultaneously with the video signals. This allows control of a loudspeaker or door
intercom system, for example, at the monitored location. Bi-directional audio applies to box-to-box connectors only. MPEG2 should be
selected in order to receive a good audio signal.
24 C2904M-B (2/05)
CONNECTING DATA TERMINALS
The bi-directional data interface ports can be used as control ports for equipment connected to the NET4001A (for example, a dome
camera with motorized lens).
USE AS CONTROL TERMINAL PORT
For local control and configuration of the unit, you can connect the COM port of a data terminal (for example, a PC running a standard
terminal program) to COM 1 on the NET4001A.
You can use a standard terminal program to communicate with the unit. The default parameters are set to 19200 baud, 8 bits of data, 1
stop bit, and no parity (8N1).
For more information on the command set, see the
Configuration
section. This mode allows the control port to be used to send serial data
that requires flow control.
You can configure the RS-232 half-duplex mode in the web browser. The RTS and CTS signals are enabled for flow control.
If this RS-232 mode is chosen, the camera control data is transferred to this port. Certain cameras with fixed data length require the
buffered RS-232 mode. (This half-duplex mode is not required for interfacing to any Pelco product.)

USE AS TRANSPARENT DATA PORT
The COM 2 serial interface offers a transparent serial data channel between the receiver and the transmitter. A typical application for
transparent data is remote control of peripheral equipment (for example, a dome system with PTZ functions). You also can use these
channels to control remotely any external device with a serial interface. The serial data is transferred in parallel to the video and audio
data.
Transmission of transparent data is enabled only after a video connection has been established. Also, the RS-232 interface for the
transparent data port does not support hardware flow control.
For proper operation, you must configure the following: baud rate, parity of the interface of the PelcoNet NET4001A transmission system
unit, and number of data and stop bits. Use a web browser to configure these parameters at the unit.
The transparent data interface is used to control PTZ cameras remotely, to transmit data transparently between the two units, or to
control equipment connected to a PC COM port. Transmission of transparent data is possible only when the units are connected. Only the
data transmit and receive signals are provided at this port.

CONNECTING EXTERNAL SENSORS
Figure 21. Connecting External Sensors and Peripheral Devices
The unit has an alarm input that lets you connect an external signaling device, like a door contact or motion detector. If configured
accordingly, an alarm trigger can, for example, set up an automatic connection between NET4001A and the remote station. You can
connect switches or contacts directly without a separate power supply.
Do the following to connect an external sensor. Refer to Figure 21.
1. Pull the Input (bottom) terminal block from its plug-in base.
2. Attach the conductor to the alarm input terminal. Either terminal will work. A ground conductor can be attached to the remaining
terminal if needed. (Insert a small screwdriver tip in the top square hole and push hard enough to open the lower hole. Insert the
wire in the lower hole.)
3. Push the terminal block back on to the plug-in base.
CONTROLLING PERIPHERAL DEVICES
The NET4001A has an output for switching an external device (for example, a light or siren). The relay can be operated interactively,
during an active connection, or automatically to coincide with certain events. Settings for the relay must be configured (refer to the
Configuration
Typical applications of the relay output are activating door openers or switching of lights and other electrical devices. Do not exceed the
maximum rating of 40V and 0.8A.
Do the following to connect a peripheral device. Refer to Figure 21.
1. Pull the Output (top) terminal block from its plug-in base.
2. Attach the conductor to the output terminal. Either terminal will work. A ground conductor can be attached to the remaining terminal

to the
CONFIGURATION USING A TERMINAL PROGRAM
Using a terminal program (for example, the Windows application HyperTerminal) connected to the RS-232 terminal port on the unit’s rear
panel provides limited configuration and control capabilities (null modem cable required). Ensure that the PC’s COM port is set up properly
(default properties are 19200 baud, 8N1) and that the local terminal echo is disabled.
Do the following:
1. Connect the COM 1 on the NET4001A to an unused serial port on the PC.
2. After the connection is made, you will be prompted for the case-sensitive username (service).
3. All commands consist of single characters you type inside the terminal window. Enter only one command at a time and do not
terminate this input by pressing the Enter key. After entering a value (for example, an IP address), check the entered characters again
and only then press Enter to transmit the values to the NET4001A.

CONFIGURATION USING A WEB BROWSER
In addition to the aforementioned configuration using a terminal program, which only covers the most basic settings, a web browser is the
tool of choice for a more complete configuration. To accomplish this, the system features a complete HTTP server.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher is the recommended browser.
WEB SERVER CONCEPT
1. Start your web browser.
2. Connect to the URL http://IP-Address, where IP-Address is the IP address of the unit you want to configure. Use the standard dot-
separated format (x.x.x.x) to enter the address. The home page is displayed along with the video from the camera.
The HTTP server provides nine separate pages for configuration.
You can return to the home page from any other page by clicking the PelcoNet log. Clicking the Pelco
immediately transfers you to the Pelco Internet home page, provided the network allows for Internet access.
In order for live video images to be decoded, the special ActiveX control file must be installed on your PC. The latest version of ActiveX
comes on the PelcoNet CD.

NOTE: When changing any configuration item in one of the following pages, make sure to change a single item at a time. Then click the
respective Set button. If more than one item needs to be changed, execute the procedure repeatedly. If more than one item is changed
without clicking the Set button in between, only the entry associated with the clicked button is actually changed. All other entries return
to their previous settings.
All configuration items are stored in non-volatile memory so they are kept when the unit is powered down.
Some configurations apply only to transmitters (for example, camera settings) while others apply to receivers. All settings not expressly
restricted to certain models apply to all.
CONFIGURATION PAGE FOR GENERAL SETTINGS
The unit identification, password, date and time, timer server, and software update settings, as well as version information, comprise the
General Settings configuration page.
All units have a real-time clock set during manufacture. However, time and date can be changed any time; for example, when the units are
operated in different time zones.
Version numbers for the hardware and firmware are for information only. Whenever you need technical support, have these numbers ready.

Table A. General Settings
Configuration Default
Item Setting
Description
Unit Name None The Unit name and Unit ID identify the device; for example, in the event of an alarm call. (For future development.) Unit ID None The ID serves as a machine-readable name. (For future development.) Password level None Select the password level from the pull-down menu.
Access to a NET4001A generally is protected with a password to prevent unauthorized use of the unit. The three
levels are:
• Service: This is the administrative, and highest level. This level grants access to all configuration parameters
after the current password is entered.
• User: This is the second highest level. This level lets the user view live video and access the control pages.
• Live: This is the lowest level. This level does not grant access to configuration pages but allows the unit to be
operated (for example, viewing video).
If any password level is set, you will be always be required to log on to the NET4001A.
For example, if a “live” level password is set and you view that unit through the browser, the unit will ask for a user
name and password to access any configuration page. If you then try to access the setup page, the unit will again
prompt for a user name and password.
IMPORTANT: “Service” is an administrative account. If you do not set up a “service” password, then there is no
point in setting up “user” or “live” passwords because a user can login to the unit as “service” and then eliminate
the “user” and “live” passwords.
Some scenarios that can occur are as follows:
• If a password is set for the service level, then the only way to access the setup page is by logging on using the
“service” user name and the “service” level password.
• If no password is set for the service level, then you can log on with the “service” user name and no password or
you can log on with the “live” user name and the “live” password you have selected.
WARNING: Setting a “user” level password on a transmitter can cause complications on the receiver side in a
box-to-box configuration. To avoid this, on the receiver’s Alarm Settings configuration page enter the transmitter’s
IP address and user password in the appropriate fields (live video IP address and remote receiver password). If no
“user” level password is set on a transmitter, then the receiver needs no setup.
Password None You can enter or change a password if the unit is accessed in the Service authorization level or if the unit is not
protected by a password. Passwords can be changed one at a time only (that is, either Service, User, or Live).
Maximum entry is 19 alphanumeric characters. All entered characters will be saved when you click Set; however,
only eight asterisks will be displayed when you access the screen next time.
Password None Re-enter the new password again to guard against typing errors. If the device
confirm is not protected by a password, the “No password set” message will be displayed.
Date format Europe Use the pull-down menu to select the format for the date: USA, Europe, or Japan. Unit date N/A Enter the current date in MM/DD/YYYY format for the USA; DD.MM.YYYY for Europe; and YYYY/MM/DD for

CONFIGURATION PAGE FOR ALARM SETTINGS
The PelcoNet NET4001 transmission system is not only a multimedia gateway but also a security device and, therefore, has many features
related to security applications. The configuration page for alarm settings lets you configure your unit for surveillance applications. In
most surveillance-related applications, the receiver is located in a secure alarm center-type environment while the transmitter is mounted
inside or at the location to be monitored.

NOTE: Use of the motion detection feature is recommended only indoors and under controlled lighting conditions;
it is not recommended in dim lighting.
To set motion detection, do the following:
1. Click the Motion detection button to access the Motion Detection screen. (Refer to Figure 31.) Press Default
to get the default settings for motion detection. If you want to customize the settings, continue to step 2.
2. Select On from the Motion detector pull-down menu to trigger an alarm in the event of movement.
3. Click the Select area button to display a window with a grid superimposed on it (refer to Figure 32). Select the
cells in the image you want the system to monitor for motion. You can use the Select all and Clear all buttons.
The default is all cells selected (red).
To set an individual cell, click it with the left mouse button (it will turn red). Click with the right button to
deselect a cell (which will turn white). Select or deselect multiple cells by holding down the left or right mouse
button and dragging. Release when finished.
Click the Set button.
4. Use the Motion tracking pull-down menu to turn on/off tracking. (Note that motion tracking overrides motion
detection.)
5. The Tracker box indicates and controls the direction of motion detection. You can set motion detection to
operate in one direction only by removing the check mark in the opposite direction.
6. Use the Local sensitivity slide bar to set detection sensitivity. You need to adapt sensitivity to the respective
environment and the acceptable false alarm rate: for a lower false alarm rate select a lower sensitivity and vice
versa. Experiment to find the best setting.
7. Use the Average n [frames] slide bar to define for how long or over how many pictures motion in the scene
must be detected before an alarm will be released. If the value is low, even movement over a small period
triggers an alarm. If the value is high, movement over a longer period is required to trigger an alarm.

8. Use the Object min size [nxn blocks] slide bar to designate the minimum number of cells in the frame a
moving object must fill to trigger an alarm. You can set the value between 1*1 and 6*6 (2*2 is recommended).
If the size of the object in the picture exceeds the value you set, motion detection triggers an alarm.
9. The Alarm indicator box lets you set a threshold so an alarm is triggered only if the sensitivity of the video
sensor is exceeded. Thus, something such as background noise caused by the camera can be filtered to avoid
unwanted alarms.
The blue line indicates the alarm threshold. Any value exceeding this produces an alarm signal. Components of
the motion signal generating the alarm are indicated in red.
Pull up or down on the blue line to observe the motion detector. Set it straight above the basic deviation of the
red curve.
10. Click Back to Alarm page! when finished.
The following conditions must be met for motion detection to function:
• Motion detection must be activated.
• At least one cell must be activated.
• Sensitivity must be set higher than zero.

streaming
Besides a one-to-one connection between a transmitter and a receiver (unicast), the NET4001A lets you connect a
number of receivers to receive the video signal simultaneously. This is achieved by distribution of a single data
stream on the network itself to a number of receivers in a defined group (multicast).
Choose one of the options. With one of the MPEG options selected and a valid multicast group address selected in
the Multicast Group IP Address field, the NET4001A operates in multicast mode (data stream duplicated over the
network).
When multicast streaming is turned off, operation resorts to unicast mode.
Multicast group 0.0.0.0 This is the Multicast IP address. (Network hardware—such as switches, hubs, routers, etc.—must support the
IP address multicasting protocol, ICMP.) This field sets PelcoNet to use the multicasting protocol, which allows more efficient
use of bandwidth. The IP range is 224.0.1.0 through 238.255.255.255.

ADVANCED FEATURES
AUTOMATIC CONNECTION FEATURE
The advantage of conventional dedicated cabling lies in guaranteed performance and availability. The PelcoNet transmission system’s
auto-connect feature is designed to provide the same level of guaranteed connectivity expected from analog coaxial video cables.
IT networks commonly experience short breakdowns and congestion. Protocols used for computer communication (for example, TCP/IP)
are designed to cope with missing data and interruptions. With the PelcoNet NET4001A transmission system, once a video connection is
established, the video stream normally terminates gracefully when a network connector is pulled or the network is otherwise disrupted.
The system can be configured to reconnect automatically to guarantee connectivity. To activate this feature, use the Connect on alarm
pull-down menu to select On (on the Alarm Settings configuration page) and confirm this choice by clicking the Set button. Now the unit
will try to connect to the specified alarm IP address every time. The receiving station (alarm IP address) can be another receiver.
VIDEO MOTION DETECTION FEATURE
The transmitter can check video input automatically for significant motion in the scene and trigger an alarm if the motion exceeds a preset
threshold. Activate motion detection by clicking the Motion detection button on the Alarm Settings configuration page, and then use the
Motion detector pull-down menu on the Motion Detection screen to select On.
Use the Local sensitivity sliding scale to select sensitivity for motion detection. You need to tailor this parameter to the particular
application. Experiment to find the best setting. For example, higher sensitivity may lead to erroneous detection and increase false alarms.
You can restrict motion detection to certain areas in the scene. Click the Select area button. Select the cells you want the system to
monitor for motion. To set an individual cell, click it with the left mouse button (which will turn red). Click with the right mouse button to
deselect a cell (which will turn white).Select or deselect multiple cells by holding down the left or right mouse button and dragging.
Release when finished, and then click the Set button.
RECORDING AND PLAYING BACK THE DISPLAY ON A PC
CHOOSING WHERE TO STORE THE FILE
The program automatically saves the snapshot (still picture) and video recording files at C:\ on the hard drive of the PC on which you are
viewing the picture unless you tell it otherwise. If you want to store files in a different location on the PC, you need to first specify that
location. To do so:

ETHERNET Lit green Physical connection to the network is established.
Flashing orange Data transmission via the network.
POWER Lit green The unit is switched on but no connection.
Flashing green 600 ms (50:50) = 1 active connection.
Flashing green (50:650) = Streaming mode is active.
Flashing green 70 ms (50:50) = External prompt.
Not lit The unit is switched off.
300 ms (50:50) = 2 active connection.
150 ms (50:50) = 3 or more connections.
TERMINAL PROGRAM
• Is the right COM port interface on the PC selected for the terminal program, and are the settings correct? Is the cable connected to
COM 1 and not COM 2 on the PelcoNet unit? Program default settings are 19200 kb/s, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (8N1) for the
terminal program.
• If the data exchange between the terminal program and the system still does not work, check the serial cable. Does the system
answer when you press the Enter key?
• Disable the local echo if you see duplicate characters on your screen.
TROUBLESHOOTING A TCP/IP NETWORK USING A PING UTILITY
(Enter the appropriate information where indicated by the quotation marks below. Do not enter the quotation marks.)
To see if a unit in your network can be reached, try to ping your unit by typing the following command in a DOS window:
c:\ping ‘unit IP address’
If it is reached, there will be a response like the following:
Reply from <IP address>: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx
If the LAN path is malfunctioning, the ping command will time out. If so, you could have one of the following problems:
• Wrong physical connections. Make sure the green Ethernet LED is on.
•Wrong network connection. Verify the IP address is entered correctly and that subnet mask and gateway address are set properly.
Otherwise, ask your network administrator.
58 C2904M-B (2/05)
TROUBLESHOOTING CONNECTION PROBLEMS
If you fail to connect to a system from a hardware receiver, make sure network connectivity is available (for example, by using the ping
command).
TROUBLESHOOTING THE VIDEO CONNECTION
If no video or a distorted video image is displayed at the receiver during a connection to a transmitter:
• Make sure the camera is switched on and the coaxial cable is connected to the NET4001A transmitter.
• Check the camera cable and connect a video monitor to the camera and check that the camera is functioning correctly.
• At the receiving system, make sure the monitor is switched on and the coaxial cable is connected to the NET4001A receiver.
• Check the monitor cable and the selection of the monitor channel, if the monitor features more than one video channel.
• If the monitor can display only a single video standard (PAL or NTSC), check the setting of the video output format on the Video
Settings configuration page.
TESTING THE AUDIO CONNECTION
TEST BETWEEN TWO NET4001A UNITS
1. Connect a microphone (via a preamplifier) to the Audio In jack and a loudspeaker to the Audio Out jack on each NET4001A.
2. After establishing the Ethernet connection, audio should be transmitted both ways.
3. If you cannot hear any audio, check the microphone and loudspeaker together with other audio equipment, and make sure the
microphone is switched on if it has a power switch.
TEST BETWEEN NET4001A AND PC
1. Connect a microphone (via a preamplifier) to the Audio In jack on the PelcoNet unit.
2. Connect a loudspeaker to the PC’s sound card. After establishing the Ethernet connection, audio should be transmitted from the
PelcoNet unit to the PC.

• CM8500 (requires latest CM8500 data translator)
• CM6700 (through integrated ASCII port, COM 2)
• CM6800 matrix
2. What TCP/IP ports does PelcoNet use?
PelcoNet lets you select which base port to use. You can select either 80 or 1756. This means PelcoNet will use UDP ports for some video and
control data. The ports must be open for PelcoNet to function properly.
3. Can I view PelcoNet over the Internet?
Yes. You will need a static IP address and enough bandwidth to view live video. Pelco recommends a minimum of 250 Kbps for medium image
quality. Also check with your ISP to verify the correct TCP and UDP ports are open through any routers or firewalls through which you will
connect.
4. How many connections does PelcoNet support? Can more than one receiver connect to a transmitter at the same time?
Yes. PelcoNet can support an unlimited number of receivers. To do so, all hubs, switches, and routers must support multicasting (IGMP), and
PelcoNet must be configured to use multicasting. If the network hardware does not support this, then the maximum number of simultaneous
connections is five.
5. Can I enlarge the picture size in the browser?
Yes. You can select from two different image sizes in PelcoNet with the browser: 352 x 288 or 704 x 576.
6. What software does PelcoNet require?
PelcoNet works with Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher. An ActiveX plug-in is also required for Internet Explorer to get live video. All software is
included.
7. Can I control other manufacturers’ equipment from the browser?
Not at this time.
8. Can I record video with PelcoNet NET4001A?
Yes. PelcoNet can record video to the hard drive of the viewing PC (you can select the location). The video is recorded in either mp2 or mp4
format.
9. Everything is wired correctly but I do not have any control from the browser. What else could be wrong?
The transparent data port settings must be set to match the equipment to which PelcoNet is connected.
Also, in Internet Explorer, the Microsoft Virtual Machine must be enabled. To do so: on the Tools menu, select Internet Options. Then select the
Advanced tab. Locate the option Microsoft VM. Place a check mark next to Java Console Enabled and JIT compiler for virtual machine enabled.
Reboot your computer.
These options are required for the Java applets in PelcoNet to function properly.
10. Can I control the Genex multiplexer server?
Not at this time.
11. Can I use DHCP (dynamically assigned IP address) with PelcoNet?
No.
C2904M-B (2/05) 77
12. What type of compression does PelcoNet use?
PelcoNet uses the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 industry standards for video teleconferencing over the Internet. They provide the most effective use of
bandwidth with excellent video quality.
13. I do not get live video in the browser but server push is working. What could be wrong?
Verify that the ActiveX plug-in is installed and that your video is set to 16-bit or 32-bit color. Also check with your network administrator to
verify that the TCP/IP ports PelcoNet uses are not being filtered and that you have enough bandwidth.
14. How do I program PelcoNet with Hyperterminal?
Using a null modem cable, connect a COM port on your PC to either COM port on NET4001A. Open Hyperterminal and set the port to use to
19200, 8, N, 1, and No Flow Control. Type service (lower case), and follow the help menu.
When accessing the unit through HyperTerminal, each time after the unit boots up the program prompts for the username (enter service). If
there has not been a reboot since you last accessed the unit, you can access it by entering ? for the username.
15. How much bandwidth does PelcoNet use?
PelcoNet’s bandwidth is adjustable. You can set it from 2 to 5 Mbps. Pelco recommends a minimum of 250 Kbps for live video at medium image
quality. Check with your network administrator for how much bandwidth to use.
16. Can I use PelcoNet with a DSL or cable connection?
Yes. You will need a static IP address from your provider. Also verify what kind of bandwidth you will get since it varies by location. Verify that
your provider is not filtering the TCP/IP ports that PelcoNet uses.
