1. Product Overview

1.1. FW2170

FlexWATCH™ 2170 is a stand-alone 4ch network media decoder which converts four streams of

Motion JPEG or H. 264 from 4 different FlexWATCH™ Video/Camera servers in real-time into the high
quality analog signals. It support 4 screens output and the FlexWATCH™ Video/Camera input sources from
the encoder device

The server of FlexWATCH™ 2170 Network media decoder is used in combination with FlexWATCH™

video & camera servers. Users are able to use existing video matrices and other analog technology to
receive video and audio from distant analog cameras or systems

FlexWATCH™ 2170 is ideal package solution with FlexWATCH™ cameras or servers for remote

monitoring using TV sets and Analog monitors. Also, instead of these multi channeled servers, you can use
single channel servers together. Thus, if you install cameras in remote site, you can watch the remote site
using video server and FlexWATCH® 2170 even though it might be located in a different city.

6. Network Configuration

Configuration the network is dependent on how an IP address is assigned in Ethernet-based
environment, which is static IP, dynamic IP (DHCP). For wireless LAN, additional configuration is necessary
to have a connection with wireless AP.

In the case of wireless models, users have to choose between wired or wireless connection. In other

words, both connections can’t be used at the same time. The way how to choose one of them is whether

wired LAN cable is plugged into the product. When LAN cable is plugged in for longer than 5 seconds, the
wired LAN is activated for data transmission. If LAN cable is unplugged more than 5secconds, wireless LAN
is activated instead. If DHCP Client is selected by user, wired LAN will be activated regardless of condition of
LAN cable. For network configuration, select Network configuration from Admin page.

To make a connection to the Internet, it is required to figure out the type of the Internet service you’re

using. Depending on the service type, the network configuration can be in any of Static IP, DHCP Client.
You need to set up the FlexWATCH™ Server according to your network type.

6.1. Network Configuration

6.1.1. Static IP Configuration

Selecting Network Configuration under Network configuration will show variables. Below picture is for
products without wireless LAN.

For static IP, select static IP and input values for IP address, NetMask, Gateway, DNS1, DNS2 and

FW2170 User’s Manual

M4067-00 21 Seyeon Tech Co., Ltd

click apply for saving settings. After “Apply”, program will ask closing web browser for updates, which will
take 20~30 seconds. If “Back” button is pushed while configuration, all values will be discarded. If “Refresh”
button is pushed, the program will load previous values.

6.1.2. DHCP Client Configuration

For DHCP, DHCP server must exist in the network environment. Select DHCP Client from Network
Configuration, click “Apply”.

6.2. Network Ports

In this configuration, you set up the HTTP port for FlexWATCH™ Server to communicate with the
Client PC. HTTP Port is the network port that is used when a Client PC connects to the FlexWATCH™
Server’s Web page. It can be assigned between 80 and 65535 and the default value is 80.

Note: If the HTTP port number is changed to other value than default (80), make sure

the new HTTP port number goes together with the FlexWATCH™ Server's
Internet address. For example, when FlexWATCH

™

’'s IP address is

192.168.1.00 and set the HTTP port to 8080, you will have to enter
http://192.168.1.100:8080 to connect to the server.
