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.

Access to the NET350 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 NET350.

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 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.

CONFIGURATION PAGE FOR ALARM SETTINGS

The PelcoNet NET350 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 surveillancerelated applications, the receiver is located in a secure alarm center-type environment while the transmitter is located at the site to be monitored.

Conﬁguration

Item

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

Uniﬁed picture detection

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

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

Default Setting Description

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 29.) 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 30). 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 released. 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.

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

tion. If no signal is received, the NET350 triggers the alarm.

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).

automatic connection to the video receiver’s IP address. The idea is to provide a remote 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. Full duplex audio can provide verbal communication, while the relay output can open the door remotely.

Select Follows input to specify that the connection remain as long as the alarm is active. (If Follows input is set, motion will not activate an alarm.) Select Follows motion alarm 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, input will not activate an alarm.)

1 The NET350 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 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.

Live video auto-connect

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

auto-connect feature guarantees an 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 USING A TERMINAL PROGRAM

Using a terminal program (for example, the Windows application HyperTerminal) on a computer connected to the COM2: RS232 socket on the NET350’s rear panel provides limited conﬁguration and control capabilities.

Do the following:

1. Ensure that the PC’s COM port is set up properly (default properties are 19200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, ﬂow control none) and that the local terminal echo is disabled.

2. Isolate the NET350 from the network.

3. Connect the COM2: RS232 socket on the NET350 to an unused serial port on the PC (null modem required).

Operation

LIVE VIDEO AND SERVER PUSH VIDEO PAGES

The live video pages show a real-time picture of a camera view with update rates and image quality similar to a box-to-box conﬁguration. It can be conﬁgured for bandwidth use and for various image quality settings. (Live video is accessible only through a NET350 transmitter and not through a NET350 receiver.) The Server Push pages show still pictures that are updated periodically, and image quality is ﬁxed.

The ﬁve indicators in Table C are located at the top of the live video and live video control pages.

Table C. Live Video Page Indicators

Indicator Description

MPEG-4 Indicates that live viewing is in MPEG-4 format.

M (motion detector) When motion alarm is triggered, this indicator turns red while the alarm is activated.

V (video alarm) When the video loss alarm is triggered, this indicator turns red until the video returns.

I (input activation) When triggered, this indicator turns red. The name assigned to this trigger and its duration and how it reacts can be

assigned on the Alarm page.

R (relay activation) When triggered, this indicator turns red. The name assigned to this trigger and how it reacts can be assigned on the

Relay page.

BACKING UP A FILE ONTO A COMPUTER

You can also save video recordings that are on the NET350 directly to your computer’s hard drive as backup. To do so:

1. Start playing back the ﬁle you want to back up in whole or in parts (refer to the Viewing a File section).

2. Click the red circle icon to immediately start recording onto the PC’s hard drive. The circle blinks slowly to indicate recording has started.

3. Click the red circle icon again to stop recording.

You can repeat this procedure several times within a ﬁle to back up sections out of a long ﬁle.

RECORDING A SNAPSHOT FROM A FILE

You can record onto your computer’s hard drive an individual frame (snapshot) from a ﬁle being played back. Do the following

1. Start playing back the ﬁle from which you want to take a snapshot (refer to the Viewing a File section).

2. Click the camera icon to store a snapshot. Snapshots are immediately displayed in the window on the right.

3. If a snapshot does not appear, go to the live page, click the select path icon, and then enter a new path where the snapshot will be saved. Repeat steps 1 and 2.

C2907M-D (4/05) 67

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 NET350 transmission system software from Pelco (http://www.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.”

Resetting the NET350

• Hard reset: Use a strong, thin item like a piece of wire to press the hard reset button on the front panel (refer to Figure 1) for three

seconds. The unit will then reset.

• Soft reset: 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. The unit then displays the message “Bye Bye Going to reset.”

68 C2907M-D (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.

LEDS

The NET350 has several LEDs that indicate the operating status and possible faults.

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? Isthe cable connected to COM 1 and not COM 2 on the PelcoNet unit? Program default settings are 19200kb/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 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.

C2907M-D (4/05) 69

TROUBLESHOOTING CONNECTION PROBLEMS

If you fail to connect to a system from a NET350 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/Audio Transmission ﬁeld on the Network Settings page to “TCP (port 80).”

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 NET350R receiver.

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

• (NET350R 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

• CM9760 matrix (requires CM9700 data translator)

• CM9740 matrix (requires CM9700 data translator)

• CM9502 matrix (through integrated ASCII port)

• CM8500 matrix (requires latest CM8500 data translator)

• CM6700 matrix (through integrated ASCII port, COM 2)

• 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 will 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 or onto the NET350 itself using the CompactFlash interface. The video is recorded in MPEG-4 format, which allows playback through either the browser or the proprietary MPEG Viewer software included on the resource CD.

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, 2002or 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.

86 C2907M-D (4/05)

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 NET350 use?

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 COM 1 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. 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.

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

No. The NET350’s COM 1 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/UDP 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/Audio transmission” setting to “TCP” in the Network Settings configuration page. This makes PelcoNet use port 80 and whatever source port the client computer chooses.
