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.)

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.

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.

Typical Applications
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.

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.
