The DX9100VS viewstation has these features:
• Simultaneous viewing of live or recorded video can be seen from as many as four cameras.
• Live video can be marked for later review by the user or by using the motion detection feature.
• Scan feature allows the user to search recorded video for movement of a specific object.
•Video files can be saved in MPEG format to a compact disk, hard drive, or anywhere on the network.
•A current video frame can be printed on a standard PC printer.
IMPORTANT NOTE. PLEASE READ. The network implementations in this document are shown as general representations
only and are not intended to show detailed network topologies. Your actual network will differ, requiring changes or perhaps
additional network equipment to accomodate the systems as illustrated. Please contact your local Pelco Representative to

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Follow these guidelines for the best system performance.
• The DX9100 recorders require connection to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to ensure no corruption of data during
a power loss.
• The DX9100 system must be installed in a climate-controlled room. The temperature range should be 41° to 85°F (5° to 29°C).
• All network devices that will transport DX9100 video must be capable of moving multicast traffic.
• Pelco recommends that the DX9100 recorder be installed in a ventilated rack enclosure.
• When securing the recorder to the rack enclosure, do not lift the recorder by the handles only.
• Make sure the rack enclosure is properly grounded.
• Pelco recommends that a spare phone line be installed and connected to a primary DX9100 viewstation to allow the
Pelco Technical Support Group to dial into the site upon customer request. Pelco personnel will not make changes unless
authorized by the customer. This phone line can be protected by a password to prevent unauthorized access.
Lack of adherence to these guidelines gives Pelco discretion in honoring product warranty.
16 C636M-E (4/05)
MOUNTING
The DX9100 recorder and viewstation are supplied with the necessary parts for mounting into an industry standard 19-inch
(48.26 cm) wide equipment rack. The units can also be placed on a flat surface, such as a shelf.
CAUTION: The units should be installed in an air-conditioned room where the temperature is maintained between
41° and 86°F (5° and 29°C). Allow one rack unit (1.75 inches or 4.5 cm) of space between each unit on the rack for
air circulation.
C636M-E (4/05) 17
To install the unit into an equipment rack:
1. Attach the two brackets to both sides of the unit.
2. Attach the mounting rails to the equipment rack.
3. Place the unit onto the mounting rails. It should slide in and out of the rack easily.
4. Fasten the rack ears to the equipment rack.

CONNECTIONS
Refer to Figure 8.
1. Connect the viewstation to the recorder via an Ethernet switch. Use shielded network cables.
NOTE: Use a shielded cable, similar to Belden 1533P, that meets or exceeds the support requirements for ANSI/TIA/EIA
568B.2 Cat 5e.
2. Connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the viewstation.
3. Connect cameras to the video input coaxial connectors on the recorders, and then set the termination switches to Term
(75 ohms). This is the factory default.
4. Connect looping video sources, such as monitors, to the video output coaxial connectors on the recorder and then set the
switches to Loop (HI-Z). You can then terminate at the final devices.
5. Connect a CM9760-REL, CM9760-ALM, or CM9760-DT to the RS-232 COM port. Refer to the
6. Wire alarms and relays. Refer to the
7. Plug the HASP (Hardware Against Software Piracy) USB key into the bottom right USB port on the recorder. A red light on
the key indicates that it is working properly. The key contains the product license and its configured permissions. The
following message appears if you do not plug in the HASP key:
8. Connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the recorder. You can remove them after setup is complete.
9. Connect all power cords.

WIRING ALARMS AND RELAYS
The DX9100 provides 16 alarm inputs and two relay outputs. Each alarm input and relay output can be matched to a video
input. For example, alarm input 5 can match video input 3 and relay 1.
You can connect wires from the sensors to the respective alarm inputs on the connectors on the back panel of the DX9100.
Each sensor requires two wires. Follow the example below.
1. Connect a wire from Alarm 1 to alarm input 1.
2. Connect a wire from Alarm 1 to one of the Com terminals.
3. Connect a wire from Alarm 2 to alarm input 2.
4. Connect a wire from Alarm 2 to one of the Com terminals.
5. Connect wires to relay output 1.

POWER UP THE EQUIPMENT
After you make all of the connections, turn on the recorder first and then the viewstation. The recorder applications start
automatically. There are four applications that should be running in order for the recorder to work:
• SQL Server Service Manager ( appears in system tray)
• Server Attendant
• Recording Server
•Time Synchronizer (
NOTE: The Time Synchronizer icon should also appear in the viewstation’s system tray to ensure that the recorder and
viewstation have the same time.

PROGRAMMING
VIEWSTATION NETWORK CONFIGURATION
After you make all connections, you have to configure the viewstation to work on the network. To configure the viewstation,
you need the following information. You can obtain this information from your network administrator.
• Unique viewstation name: (Examples are Pelcovs1, Pelcovs2, Pelcovs3, etc. This is the default naming scheme.)
• Unique IP address: (Examples are 100.0.0.201, 100.0.0.202, 100.0.0.203, etc. This is the default addressing scheme.)
• Network subnet mask: This must be the same on all recorders and viewstations. (For example, 255.0.0.0 is the default.)
• Computer workgroup name: This must be the same on all recorders and viewstations. (For example, DX9000_GROUP is
Each viewstation is identified by a logical IP address over a local area network (LAN). Each requires a unique IP address
for communication using TCP/IP protocol. The IP address identifies a system’s location on the network and must be
globally unique and have a uniform format.
