What Is the PelcoNet NET350 Transmission System?

The PelcoNet 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 NET350 transmission system: Spectra Esprit and the CM6800 matrix.

(Refer to Glossary section for deﬁnitions of terms used in this manual.)

™

NET350 transmission system is technology that lets you view video in real time across a LAN (local area network) and even

, Genex

multiplexer, CM9700 systems (older CM9760s require CM9760 data translator), CM6700 (through integrated ASCII port, COM 2),

HOW DO LANS AND WANS WORK?

•A LAN consists of multiple computers connected together, sharing information. This information could be ﬁles, e-mail, printers, orwith the PelcoNet NET350 transmission systemeven live video and audio.

•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 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 NET350 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 Internet Explorer and connecting the PelcoNet NET350 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

Instructions for the Network Administrator

The PelcoNet NET350 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 IP address* for each PelcoNet NET350 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 NET350 transmission system to function properly

** = The PelcoNet NET350 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

platform. If you installed Internet Explorer 6.0 from the CD that came with the PelcoNet NET350 transmission 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.

Overview

NOTE: This manual refers to the PelcoNet NET350 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 NET350 transmission system receiver unless otherwise noted.

DESCRIPTION

The PelcoNet NET350 transmission system is a network video server that encodes and decodes live video, audio, 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 (NET350T) and a receiver (NET350R)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.

The NET350T includes a CompactFlash

Dual MPEG-4 video streams, each of which can be set up differently, is a special feature of the NET350. 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. The NET350T can transmit and receive audio and the NET350R can receive audio.

interface for video storage.

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.

Typical Applications

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

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

• Another way is to connect the transmitter through the computer network to a receiver. This is often called a box-to-box connection because it uses two PelcoNet NET350 transmission system units.

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

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

MOUNTING THE NET350 TO THE WALL

Figure 17. Securing NET350 to Wall Mount Bracket

If desired, the NET350 can be mounted to a wall using the supplied wall mount bracket. To do so:

1. Pry off the clear plastic feet from the bottom of the NET350 unit. (Note the grooves on the underside of the unit. They are involved later in securing the unit to the wall mount bracket.)

2. Refer to Figure 17. Align the grooves on the underside of the NET350 with the four smaller holes in the mount. Install four screws (supplied) through the holes in the bottom of the wall mount. The screws ﬁt in the grooves. Tighten carefully to secure the NET350 to the wall mount. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN; the screws can damage the aluminum grooves.

3. Attach the mount to the wall with four screws (customer supplied) through the mount’s oblong holes. The mount can be attached to the wall with any side of the NET350 pointing up.

CONNECTING VIDEO SOURCES OR DISPLAYS

• The BNC Video In socket of the NET350T transmitter accepts color or black-white sources and automatically detects whether it is PAL or NTSC. The video input has an external switch for termination of 75 ohms.

• The Video Out BNC socket of the NET350R receiver can be connected to any PAL or NTSC video monitor or VCR with a composite PAL or NTSC input. You must select NTSC or PAL on the conﬁguration page for video decoder settings for the NET350R.

• If the video signal is not looped through, terminate the video input by setting the “75 transmitter) to the right.

CONNECTING AUDIO EQUIPMENT

The NET350 provides an audio channel through the Audio I/O jack. The audio signals are transmitted bidirectionally and simultaneously with the video signals. This allows control of a loudspeaker or door intercom system as required. Bidirectional, full duplex audio applies to box-to-box connections only.

1. Connect a preampliﬁed microphone (monaural line) to the Audio I/O jack on the transmitter.

2. Connect a loudspeaker to the Audio I/O jack on the receiver.

CONNECTING AN ALARM

The NET350 has an alarm input that lets you connect an external signaling device, such as a door contact or motion detector. (Note that there is no motion alarm on a NET350 receiver.) If conﬁgured accordingly, an alarm trigger can also set up an automatic connection between the NET350 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 19.

1. Pull the Alarm I/O terminal block from its plug-in base.

2. Attach conductors to the alarm input and ground conductor 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.)

3. Push the terminal block back on to the plug-in base.

CONNECTING A RELAY

The NET350 has a relay for switching an external device (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. Refer to Figure 19.

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

1. Pull the Alarm I/O terminal block from its plug-in base.

2. Connect the Alarm Out terminal on the top of the block to an external power source and the component to be activated (for example, a light or buzzer). Then use the second wire to connect the Alarm Out terminal on the bottom of the block to the external power source and the component. (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.)

3. Push the terminal block back on to the plug-in base.

CONNECTING TO A LAN

Refer to Figure 20. You can connect the NET350 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 NET350’s Ethernet socket.

SWITCHING ON POWER

There is no power switch—the unit is ready for operation when it is plugged into an outlet. Do not connect the NET350 to a power source until all other connections have been made.

1. Plug the supplied cable into the NET350’s Power socket.

2. Plug the adapter end into an outlet grounded to earth.

The Power LED is red during start-up and turns green when the NET350 is ready to operate. If the network connection is established correctly, the L LED turns green. A ﬂashing yellow T LED means data is moving over the network.

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 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 ﬁeld on the conﬁguration page for alarm settings is enabled and the connect on alarm ﬁeld is turned on.

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 5.5 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 NET350 unit.
