What is the Pelconet NET300 Transmission System?

The PelcoNet

™

NET300

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 NET300 transmission system: Spectra

Esprit

, Genex

multiplexer, CM9700 systems (older CM9760s require CM9760 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 NET300 transmission system—even live video.

• A WAN consists of multiple LANs connected through routers and gateways (for example, the Internet).

• In any network environment, each device needs a unique 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 commu-

nicate 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 NET300 TRANSMISSION SYSTEM?

NOTE

nless 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 NET300 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

C2908M-B (4/05) 7

Instructions for the Network Administrator

The PelcoNet NET300 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 network function properly.

THE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER

• A valid static IP address* for each PelcoNet NET300 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 NET300 transmission system to function properly

** = The PelcoNet NET300 transmission system requires a continuous amount of bandwidth to display true live video. Pelco recommends

using switching hubs with the product so the amount of bandwidth available to each unit is constant and reliable.

THE BROWSER

If you plan to use a browser to view live video across the network, there are procedures to complete before you can use the browser, such as installing the ActiveX system, you can skip step 1 below. Otherwise, perform the following before trying to use the browser.

1. Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher must be installed before continuing.

2. Set the computer’s display settings to use 16- or 32-bit color.

Overview

NOTE: This manual refers to the PelcoNet NET300 transmission system unit when discussing features, functions, or speciﬁcations that

apply to both transmitter and receiver models. “Receiver,” as used in this manual, refers to a PelcoNet NET300 transmission system receiver unless otherwise noted.

DESCRIPTION

The PelcoNet NET300 transmission system is a network video server that encodes and decodes live video and control data transmitted and received over Ethernet computer networks (either intranet or Internet) using the TCP/IP protocol.

The transmission system consists of two units: a transmitter (NET300T) and a receiver (NET300R)—however, only the transmitter is required to use the system. If a receiver is used, video can be displayed on an NTSC or PAL monitor connected to the receiver. If a receiver is not used, video can be displayed on a PC connected to the network through a web browser.

Dual MPEG-4 video streams, each of which can be set up differently, is a special feature of the NET300. For example, one video stream might be set to record at high resolution while the second might have monitoring at a lower resolution.

Transmitters and receivers are identiﬁed by IP addresses, just like any other equipment connected to a computer network.

There is a bidirectional serial interface for remote control of peripherals, such as PTZ cameras.

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.

SOFTWARE VERSION

This manual documents PelcoNet NET300 software version 3.0.

There are two ways to make a high performance multimedia transmission system for Ethernet networks:

• One way is to use just the transmitter and connect it through the Ethernet network to a PC with a web browser at the receiving end.

• Another way is to connect the transmitter through the Ethernet network to a receiver. This is often called a box-to-box connection because

it uses two PelcoNet NET300 transmission system units.

In either case, routing dedicated cables from a camera to a monitor is not required because you can use the existing Ethernet network for that purpose.

Refer to ﬁgures 3 through 16 for examples of these conﬁgurations. Refer to Appendix A for detailed illustrations.

Hardware Installation

Refer to Appendix A — Connecting PelcoNet NET300 to Different Components for examples of how to connect equipment.

CONNECTING VIDEO SOURCES OR DISPLAYS

• The NET300 transmitter’s BNC Video In socket accepts color or black-white sources and automatically detects whether it is PAL or NTSC.

The video input has an internal termination of 75 ohms.

• The NET300 receiver’s BNC Video Out socket can be connected to any PAL or NTSC video monitor or VCR with a composite PAL or NTSC

input.

CONNECTING DATA TERMINALS

The bidirectional data interface port can be used to control equipment connected to the NET300 (for example, a dome camera with motorized lens). The port supports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 asynchronous serial interfaces.

CONNECTING AN ALARM

The NET300 has two alarm inputs. Input 1 lets you connect external signaling devices, such as a door contact. (Note that there is no motion alarm on a NET300 receiver.) Input 2 has limited functionality in that it can only be used to establish a box-to-box connection to another NET300, and only when the Connect On Alarm ﬁeld is set to On.

If conﬁgured accordingly, an alarm trigger can also set up an automatic connection between the NET300 and the remote station. You can connect switches or contacts directly without a separate power supply. The alarm inputs are N.O. (normally open).

Do the following to connect an external sensor. Refer to Figure 17.

24 C2908M-B (4/05)

WARNING: The maximum rating of the alarm contact is 30 VDC and 8 mA.

On the plug-in terminal block, attach conductors to the alarm input (IN1 and IN2) and ground conductor (GND) terminals. (Insert a small screwdriver tip in the square hole and push hard enough to open the corresponding round hole. Insert the wire in the round hole.)

CONNECTING A RELAY

The NET300 has a relay for operating external devices (for example, a light or siren). The relay can be operated from a control page during an active connection or automatically to coincide with certain events. Settings for the relay must be conﬁgured (refer to the Conﬁguration section).

Do the following to connect a peripheral device (such as a light) that can be activated from a PelcoNet live video page.

WARNING: The maximum rating of the relay contact is 30 VDC and 1 A.

Refer to Figure 17. On the plug-in terminal block, attach a wire conductor to each of the relay terminals (R). (Insert a small screwdriver tip in the square hole and push hard enough to open the corresponding round hole. Insert the wire in the round hole.) It does not matter which conductor wire goes to which relay terminal. The device the relay activates will need its own power supply.

C2908M-B (4/05) 25

CONNECTING TO A LAN

Refer to Figure 18. You can connect the NET300 to a 10/100BASE-T network either directly or through a hub. To do so, plug a standard Cat5 UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors into the NET300’s Ethernet socket.

IN1RR

CONNECTING POWER

The NET300 has no power switch. The power supply comes with the attached orange terminal block plug. To apply power do the following:

1. Depending on your country, it may be necessary to attach an appropriate adapter (supplied) to the power supply. If necessary, do so.

2. Refer to Figure 17. Push the orange terminal block into the plug-in base next to the Ethernet port on the NET300. The wires on the plug correspond to the + and – labeling on the NET300.

3. Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet.

Conﬁguration

BOX-TO-BOX CONNECTION

The following explains a box-to-box connection.

1. First, 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 type e to make the connection. Or program the live video receiver 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 ﬁeld on the conﬁguration page for alarm settings 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.

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).

CONFIGURATION TYPES

There are two ways to conﬁgure your system:

• A convenient, complete conﬁguration and display of video is accomplished through the built-in HTTP server, which connects to any standard web browser (for example, Internet Explorer). You can then conﬁgure using screens and menus. This is the recommended method. Refer to the Conﬁguration Using a Web Browser section.

• The most basic conﬁguration is accomplished by connecting a PC to the RS-232 terminal port. You then type in commands and parameters. Refer to the Conﬁguration Using a Terminal Program section.

CONFIGURATION USING A WEB BROWSER

To use a web browser the system features a complete HTTP server.

Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher is the recommended browser.

In order for live video images to be decoded, the special ActiveX control ﬁle must be installed on your PC. The latest version of the ActiveX platform comes on the PelcoNet CD. Also, the unit will not function without some form of Microsoft’s Virtual Machine installed on the PC. Virtual Machine is included on the PelcoNet resource CD that came with your NET300 unit.

C2908M-B (4/05) 27

GETTING STARTED

NOTE: NET-Manager is a program that can make it easier to manage PelcoNet units in local networks. The program and manual (C2901M)

are on the resource CD that comes with your PelcoNet unit. Refer to the manual for instructions.

The only NET-Manager features available to the NET300 include scanning to see your units’ IP and MAC addresses, changing IP addresses, and viewing the setup pages with the browser.

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 dotseparated format (x.x.x.x) to enter the address. The home page is displayed along with a snapshot from the camera.

Conﬁguration Item

Default Setting Description

Unit name None (For future development.) The Unit name identiﬁes the device; for example, in the event of an alarm, this name

would be displayed in the video image, depending on the conﬁguration. You can enter up to 31 alphanumeric characters.

Unit ID None (For future development.) The Unit ID identiﬁes the device. You can enter up to 31 alphanumeric characters.

Password level None Select the password level from the pull-down menu. Access to the NET300 generally is protected with a

password to prevent unauthorized use of the unit. There are three password levels.

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 receiver IP address and remote receiver password). If no User level password is set on the transmitter, then the receiver needs no setup.

• Service: This is the administrative, and highest, level. This level grants access to all conﬁguration

parameters after the current password is entered.

IMPORTANT: Service is an administrative account. If you do not set up a Service password, there is no point in setting up User or Live passwords because a user can log in to the unit by entering “service” and then eliminate the User and Live passwords.

• 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 always be required to log on to the NET300. 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 again, the unit will again prompt for a user name and password.

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 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.

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, no more than eight asterisks will be displayed when you access the screen next time even if you entered more than eight characters.

Password conﬁrm None Re-enter the new password again to guard against typing errors. If the device 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: Europe, USA, or Japan.

Unit date N/A Enter the current date in MM/DD/YYYY format for the USA, DD.MM.YYYY for Europe, or YYYY/MM/DD for

Japan. This is the system date, which is controlled by an internal real-time clock. The day of the week (ﬁrst entry box) need not be entered and will be automatically adjusted based on the given date.

Unit time N/A Enter the current time or click the Synchr. PC button and then click Set to synchronize the NET300 with your

N/A The system has a video motion detection feature. The video scene is monitored constantly for relevant motion.

NOTE: Use of the motion detection feature is recommended only indoors and under controlled lighting conditions; it is not recommended in dim lighting.

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. To set motion detection, do the following:

1. Click the Motion detection button to access the Motion Detection screen. (Refer to Figure 28.) Click Default to get the default settings for motion detection.

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 29). 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 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. (This advanced feature must be set up precisely. Pelco recommends extensive setup testing in order to get the expected results.)

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 how much motion must be detected before an alarm will be triggered. If the value is high, even movement over a small time period triggers an alarm. If the value is low, 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.

10. Click Back to Alarm page! when ﬁnished.

Uniﬁed picture detection

Off Use the pull-down menu to turn on/off this feature, which gives an alarm when the picture becomes too blurry.

You must enable this feature if you want to use the uniﬁed picture option in the Relay Follows ﬁeld on the conﬁguration page for Relay Settings.

Conﬁguration Item

Default Setting Description

Video loss alarm Off If you select On, the signal from the video source (the camera in most cases) is monitored constantly for

interruption. If no signal is received, the NET300 triggers an alarm.

Alarm input 1 Off/High

1. Select On from the pull-down menu if you want to activate an alarm through an external alarm sensor.

2. Select High or Low for the voltage level to activate the alarm.

3. Enter a name for the alarm input to be displayed on the screen if an alarm is activated (31 alphanumeric characters maximum).

If alarm input is set to follow motion alarm, then motion detection must be set to On.

Alarm input 2 Off/High Functions in the same manner as the Alarm Input 1 ﬁeld.

Connect on alarm Off The alarm functions would have little effect without automatically triggering corresponding actions. Select On

for automatic connection to the video receiver’s IP address. The idea is to provide a monitoring station with live video in case of an alarm. (If you want both motion and alarm input to activate an alarm, set this ﬁeld to On. If set to motion only, motion alarms will activate an alarm but no input alarms will be recognized.)

This feature can be useful even for many applications not related to alarm conditions. One example is a videoequipped door entry system: when the doorbell is pressed, a contact closes and the connected transmitter automatically connects to a receiver.

Select Follows input 1 (transmitter) or Follows input (receiver) to specify that the connection remain as long as the alarm is active. (If Follows input 1 or Follows input is set, motion will not activate an alarm.) Select Follows motion alarm (transmitter only) to specify that the alarm will turn on when motion is detected and turn off 10 seconds after motion is no longer detected. (If Follows motion alarm is set, alarm inputs will not be recognized.)

Number of video receiver address

Live video receiver/ transmitter IP address

Remote receiver/ transmitter password

Live video autoconnect

1 The NET300 can store up to 10 different alarm IP addresses. When an alarm occurs, a connection is established

to the ﬁrst address. Up to 10 separate addresses can be added should the ﬁrst address not accept the call.

Use the pull-down menu to select how many additional addresses to contact, if necessary. (Add the IP addresses in the next ﬁeld.)

0.0.0.0 Enter the IP addresses (10 maximum) of the receivers (if conﬁguring a transmitter) or transmitters (if conﬁguring a receiver) to be notiﬁed in the event of an alarm.

N/A Enter the password for the remote unit if it is protected by a User or Live password.

Off Select On if at each restart an active connection should be setup automatically to the receiver’s IP address. The

auto-connect feature guarantees active connection to the receiver’s alarm IP address even after connection breakdown or network failures. As soon as communication is restored, the connection is reinstated. On a receiver, this feature is enabled to establish a connection to a transmitter automatically.

Conﬁguration Item

Default Setting Description

Idle state Open Select Open (N.O. at zero current) if the relay will operate as a normally open contact or Closed (N.C. with

current) if it will operate as a normally closed contact.

Operating mode Bistable Select the relay’s operating mode.

• When you select the default Bistable mode, the relay will stay in the idle or active state for an indeﬁnite period. (For example, select Bistable if a ﬂoodlight activated by an alarm is to remain switched on at the end of the alarm.)

• When you select a time period (monostable mode), the relay automatically falls back to the idle state after a predeﬁned period expires. (For example, select 10 s if a siren triggered by an alarm is to sound for 10 seconds.) The choices on the pull-down menu are Bistable, 0.5 s, 1 s, 2 s, 5 s, 10 s, and 60 s.

Relay follows Off Select from the pull-down menu an event that will activate the relay. A typical application is to have the relay

follow the status of the alarm input; for example, to power peripheral equipment or even the camera itself. Select from the following:

• Off: Relay does not operate.

• Connection: Relay operates whenever you open live video and will turn off when you exit live video.

• Video alarm: Relay operates when there is loss of the video signal (transmitter only).

• Motion alarm: Relay operates when there is motion alarm (transmitter only).

• Local input 1: Relay operates by an external alarm sensor.

• Remote input: Relay operates by a switching contact from a remote location.

• Uniﬁed picture: Relay operates by loss of focus on the camera (transmitter only).

Relay name Relay 1 Enter a name for the relay that will appear on the Live page (31 alphanumeric characters maximum).

two-wire communication (TXD and RXD) and RS-422 for four wire communication (TX+, TX−, RX+, RX−). (RS-485 is not normally used except in advanced applications.)

Half-duplex mode Off Typically, half-duplex mode is used for transmission schemes that use one medium to both transmit and

receive data. This RS-485 mode will keep the NET300 from transmitting and receiving data simultaneously. Only one function at a time is allowed. The transmitter is turned off when the device at the other end of the line will use the connection. (Refer to Table A.)

Buffered mode also transfers data input to the COM port.

Depending on the equipment used, the Serial Port Function ﬁeld may have to be set to Transparent if sending any control data.

Genex protocol ID N/A Enter the address of the Genex unit with which you want to communicate.

Spectra/Esprit protocol ID

N/A Enter the address of the Spectra or Esprit unit with which you want to communicate. This must match the

NOTE: Changing the IP address also affects the current browser connection. You will have to reset the NET300 and enter the new URL to regain connectivity to the unit.

Conﬁguration Item

Unit IP address 10.0.0.1

Default Setting Description

Enter a unique IP address that is valid for your network. The preconﬁgured default IP address allows for

(transmitter) or

easy conﬁguration in closed environments. You can use a cross-over cable to connect directly to a PC.

10.0.0.2 (receiver)

Subnet mask 255.255.0.0 Enter a valid subnet mask for your network.

Gateway IP address

Video transmission

Multicast streaming

0.0.0.0 Enter the IP address of the router if the unit is to establish a connection outside of the localnetwork. This is typically used in a WAN environment. This ﬁeld can otherwise remain empty (0.0.0.0).

UDP Use the pull-down menu to select the means of transmission. Select TCP (Port 80) to send data through

a ﬁrewall. Select UDP for communication between local networks.

Off Use the pull-down menu to select MPEG-4 for multicast streaming mode.

Besides a one-to-one connection between a transmitter and a receiver (unicast), the NET300 lets you connect a number of receivers to receive the video signal simultaneously. This is achieved by distributing a single data stream on the network itself to a number of receivers in a deﬁned group (multicast).

With a valid multicast group address selected in the Multicast Group IP Address ﬁeld, the NET300 operates in multicast mode (data stream duplicated over the network).

When multicast streaming is turned off, operation resorts to unicast mode.

Multicast group IP address

0.0.0.0 This is the multicast IP address. (Network hardware—such as switches, hubs, routers, etc.—must support the multicasting protocol, IGMP.) 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.

Some IP addresses may be reserved for system resources. Contact your network administrator for more information.

Multicast video port encoder 1

Multicast video port encoder 2

Multicast packet TTL

60000 Enter the port address for the video encoder 1 MPEG-4 data stream.

61000 Enter the port address for the video encoder 2 MPEG-4 data stream.

1 Enter the number of hops for the packet to live. TTL stands for time to live. This setting deﬁnes the

lifetime of multicast packages in the network. If multicast trafﬁc is to be transmitted over routers and switches, this setting is important in adjusting the lifetime of the package to the requirements of the network.

CONFIGURATION USING A TERMINAL PROGRAM

Using a terminal program (for example, the Windows application HyperTerminal) on a computer connected to the RS232/422/485 port on the NET300 provides limited conﬁguration and control capabilities.

Do the following:

1. In the terminal program on your PC, ensure that the PC’s COM port is set up properly (default properties are 19200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no ﬂow control) and that the local terminal echo is disabled.

2. Isolate the NET300 from the network.

3. Connect the RS232/422/485 port on the NET300 to an unused serial port on the PC (null modem required).

4. After the connection is made, you will be prompted for the case-sensitive user name. (Press Enter if the prompt does not appear automatically.) The factory default is service.

5. 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 NET300.

The following shows a typical session.

TYPICAL SESSION

The terminal program main menu appears in the terminal window as shown below.

‘v’ video ‘i’ IP ‘r’ RCP+ ‘m’ misc ‘?’ This Menu ‘q’ exit/logout

NOTE: You cannot use backspace during a terminal session—if you mistype a character, end your entry by pressing Enter and try again. If you see duplicate characters on any entry, the “local echo” feature of your PC’s terminal program is not disabled.

If you are using the terminal to set up the unit’s IP address, just type i and then i again. You are prompted to enter a new IP address. Do so and press Enter.

If you want to establish a live video connection to a remote unit, you have to specify the remote IP address by typing r and then entering the remote IP address.

To establish a connection, go to the main menu, then type r, then type e, and then select either video 1 or video 2. To disconnect, type 2 in the same menu.

RECORDING AND VIEWING THE DISPLAY ON A PC

Video 1 and 2 and live video control pages let you keep snapshots (still pictures) and record the camera video display on a PC’s hard drive and play it back later. The ﬁle is recorded on the hard drive of the PC on which you are viewing the picture. The controls are a row of buttons beneath the screen.

NOTE: When video ﬁles are saved, an extra ﬁle (.ind extension) is created that lets you see the video in Pelco’s MPEG Viewer. If you delete this ﬁle, you cannot view the saved .mp4 ﬁle.

CHOOSING WHERE TO STORE THE FILE

The program automatically saves snapshots 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:

1. On the Home page, click either Control (and then click one of the underlined links to a live video control page) or Video 1 or Video 2.

2. Click the Select path icon (open folder) beneath the picture. (Click the icon just once. Double-clicking may cause display problems with the

select path window.)

3. The program opens the “Path for saving MPEG/JPEG ﬁles” screen. Do not specify a ﬁle name (leave blank), just navigate to the location

where you want the ﬁle stored and then click the Save button.

The ﬁle of any snapshot or video you record will be saved to that location.

RECORDING A SNAPSHOT FROM VIDEO

You can record a snapshot from the Video 1 or 2 pages or from the live video Matrix, Genex, Spectra, or Esprit control pages. The ﬁle is recorded on the PC on which you are viewing the picture. To do so:

1. On the Home page, click either Control (and then click one of the underlined links to a live video control page) or Video 1 or Video 2.

2. Position the camera as desired (if it has PTZ capability).

3. Click the Snapshot icon (camera) to record a still picture. The snapshot is saved on the PC’s hard drive with a .jpg extension.

VIEWING A SNAPSHOT

You can view a snapshot by double-clicking the desired ﬁle (.jpg extension) in Windows Explorer.

RECORDING THE VIDEO DISPLAY ONTO THE PC

You can record the camera display from the Video 1 or 2 pages or from the live video Matrix, Genex, Spectra, and Esprit control pages. The ﬁle is recorded on the PC on which you are viewing the picture. To do so:

1. On the Home page, click either Control (and then click one of the underline links to a live video control page) or Video 1 or Video 2.

2. Position the camera as desired (if it has PTZ capability).

3. Click the Recording icon (red dot button) to begin recording. The button ﬂashes while recording is happening. (Note that recording stops if

you exit the page.)

4. Click the Recording button again to stop recording. The recording is saved on the PC’s hard drive with an .mp4 extension.

VIEWING THE VIDEO DISPLAY

The video ﬁle is identiﬁed by date and time. View the video display using the MPEGViewer program included on the PelcoNet Resource CD. Do the following:

1. Locate the MPEGViewer.exe ﬁle (either on the resource CD or the PC) or MPEG Viewer shortcut on the desktop if you used the installation

program on the CD. Double-click the ﬁle. The viewer opens.

68 C2908M-B (4/05)

Software Upload

Units have ﬂash EPROMs for software upgrades in the ﬁeld. These upgrades can be done directly from the web browser. To do so:

1. Obtain the latest PelcoNet NET300 transmission system software from Pelco (http://pelco.com).

2. Use the browser to select the General Settings conﬁguration page of your unit.

3. Use the Browse button in the Software upload ﬁeld to select the correct new ﬁrmware ﬁle.

4. Click the Upload button. The Upload progress ﬁeld shows how the upload is proceeding.

After about 30 seconds you should get a feedback message from the connected unit. The message “Upload Complete – WAIT” conﬁrms the correct upload of the new ﬁrmware, which is now being installed. If you try to upload an invalid ﬁrmware ﬁle, you will get the message “Upload Failed.”

WARNING: Do not disconnect power to the unit for any reason while ﬁrmware is being installed. Disrupting the cycle will damage the ﬂash EPROM. If this occurs, you will have to return the unit for repair.

The unit automatically restarts when a successful upload is completed.

However, if the LED ﬂashes green/red alternately on conclusion, the upload has been unsuccessful and must be restarted. To do so: in the browser’s address ﬁeld after the unit’s IP address, enter /main.htm. For example, 192.168.0.12/main.htm. Restart the upload process.

5. If you revisit the General Settings conﬁguration page after the ﬁrmware is uploaded successfully, you will see the message “New Firmware Installed.”

C2908M-B (4/05) 69

Resetting the NET300

To reset the unit, type a forward slash (/) and reset at the end of the unit’s address in the Internet Explorer browser address window, and then press Enter.

70 C2908M-B (4/05)

Troubleshooting

If the following instructions fail to solve your problem, contact Pelco Technical Support at 1-800-289-9100 for help. You should have the serial number from the bottom of the unit and the ﬁrmware version ready in case they are needed.

Do not try to repair a unit yourself. Opening it immediately voids any warranty. Leave maintenance and repairs to qualiﬁed technical personnel. Swap a defective unit with a replacement unit and return the defective one for repair.

TERMINAL PROGRAM

If the terminal program fails to connect to the unit’s terminal port, check the following:

• Is the right COM port interface on the PC selected for the terminal program, and are the settings correct? Program default settings are 19200 kb/s, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (8N1) and no ﬂow control 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 Enter on your keyboard?

• 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. 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 is malfunctioning, the ping command will time out. If so, you could have one of the following problems:

• Wrong physical connections. Make sure the LAN link 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.

NOTE: The error message “Destination Host Unreachable” means the ping command was not sent from your computer because the address you are trying to ping is not in the same IP subnet as your computer.

For example, if your computer’s IP address is 192.168.0.12 and your PelcoNet unit’s IP address is 192.168.0.18 and you are using a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then there is no problem and you will not get the error message.

However, using a subnet mask of 255.255.255.248 creates 32 subnets each of which has 6 usable IP addresses. So, now the client PC is in a subnet that has usable addresses from 192.168.0.9 to 192.168.0.15 and the PelcoNet is in a subnet that has usable addresses from

192.168.0.17 to 192.168.0.23. Computers in the ﬁrst subnet cannot communicate with the PelcoNet in the second (unless there is a gateway/router/bridge to route trafﬁc from one subnet to the other).

TROUBLESHOOTING CONNECTION PROBLEMS

If you fail to connect to a system from a NET300 receiver, check the following to pinpoint the problem:

• Do not

• Make sure network connectivity is available (for example, by using the ping command as described previously).

• Does the power LED flash?

connect two units of the same type (for example, receiver to receiver).

If ﬂashing, the units are connected. Verify how much bandwidth your connection has available and ensure the bandwidth speciﬁed in the Datarate ﬁeld on the MPEG-4 Video Settings page does not exceed the available bandwidth.

If the power LED does not ﬂash, verify that the Live Video Auto-Connect feature is set up correctly. Also, set the Video Transmission ﬁeld on the Network Settings page to “TCP (port 80).”

C2908M-B (4/05) 71

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 to use the right unit for your application: a camera can only be connected to a transmitter, never

• Make sure the video input on the transmitter is properly terminated.

• Make sure the camera is switched on and the coaxial cable is connected to the transmitter.

• Check the camera cable and connect a video monitor to the camera to check that the camera is functioning correctly.

• Make sure the monitor is switched on and the coaxial cable is connected to the NET300 receiver.

• Check the monitor cable and the selection of the monitor channel if the monitor features more than one video channel.

• (NET300R unit only.) Make sure the Output Standard ﬁeld on the Video Decoder Settings page is set for the TV signal used in your region (NTSC or PAL). Restart the receiver if you have to change this ﬁeld.

Appendix B — Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What Pelco devices can I control from my computer with PelcoNet?

PelcoNet can control the following from Internet Explorer:

• Spectra and Esprit

• Genex multiplexer

• CM9700 matrix (older CM9760s require CM9760 data translator)

• CM6700 matrix (through integrated ASCII port)

• CM6800 matrix

2. 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 connect.

3. How many connections does PelcoNet support? Can more than one receiver connect to a transmitter at the same time?

Yes. PelcoNet can support up to 25 simultaneous connections. 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.

4. 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.

5. What software does PelcoNet require?

PelcoNet works with Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher. An ActiveX plug-in and Microsoft Virtual Machine are also required for Internet Explorer to get live video. All software is included.

6. Can I control other manufacturers’ equipment from the browser?

Not at this time.

7. Can I record video with PelcoNet?

Yes. PelcoNet can record video to the hard drive of the viewing PC. The video is recorded in MPEG-4 format, which allows playback through either the browser or Windows Media Player.

8. Everything is wired correctly but I do not have any control from the browser. What else could be wrong?

The transparent port settings should be set to match the equipment to which PelcoNet is connected.

Also, in Internet Explorer, the Microsoft Virtual Machine should be enabled. To do so: on the Tools menu, select Internet Options. Then select the Advanced tab. Locate the option Microsoft VM. Place a checkmark 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.

9. Can I control the Genex multiplexer from the browser and have a local KBD4000?

Yes. You must have Genex version 4.1 or higher for Genex units manufactured before November 22, 2002—or version 1.12 or higher for units manufactured on or after that date. (The version numbering was restarted in 2002, which is why newer units have a smaller version number.) These versions let you connect a KBD4000 to the COM IN port, and PelcoNet to the COM OUT port. This gives you both local and remote control. Refer to—Connecting PelcoNet to the COM OUT RS-422 Port on a Genex Multiplexer in Appendix A for detailed information.

10. Can I control the Genex multiplexer server?

Not at this time.

11. Can I use DHCP (dynamically assigned IP address) with PelcoNet?

No.

12. What type of compression does PelcoNet NET300 use?

C2908M-B (4/05) 91

PelcoNet uses the MPEG-4 industry standard for video teleconferencing over the Internet. It provides 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 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 the RS232/422/485 port on PelcoNet. Open HyperTerminal and set the port to use 19200, 8, N, 1 and No Flow Control. Type ?, and follow the help menu.

15. How much bandwidth does PelcoNet use?

PelcoNet’s bandwidth is adjustable. You can set it from 9.6 kbps up to 5000 kbps. PelcoNet 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.

17. Is an RS-232 to RS-422/485 converter required for control with PelcoNet?

No. the NET300’s RS232/422/485 port supports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485.

18. What TCP/IP ports should I use with PelcoNet?

• If you will be using PelcoNet in a LAN environment, Pelco recommends all TCP/IP ports above 1024 be opened. Also, if you will use a time server, TCP port 37 must be opened.

• If you will be using PelcoNet in a WAN environment, Pelco recommends changing the “Video transmission” setting to “TCP” in the Network Settings configuration page. This makes PelcoNet use port 80 and whatever source port the client computer chooses.
