Powering On the HDR 1800

Once the power and network cables and monitors are connected to the HDR 1800, you can power it on.

 To power on the HDR 1800:

1. Make sure the power adaptor for the HDR 1800 is connected to a power outlet (or surgeprotection device).

2. Make sure the monitors connected to the HDR 1800 are powered on.

connected to the HDR 1800 and turned on before pressing the power button on the back of the HDR 1800.

3. Press the power button on the back of the HDR 1800. The power led on the front of the HDR 1800 lights up.

When the HDR 1800 first powers on, a splash screen with the HDR 1800’s current IP address (DHCP or APIPA), unit name, firmware version, and other information appears on all monitors.

By default, the HDR 1800 is DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) enabled. If you have a DHCP server, the HDR 1800 automatically obtains an IP address upon initial startup from the DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not available on the network, the HDR 1800 assigns itself a temporary IP address based on the APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) addressing format.The APIPA scheme, available on the Windows operating systems, allows a device to assign itself a temporary IP address until it receives a complete network configuration, either manually or from a DHCP server. A device in APIPA mode does not reside on the same subnet as the other devices on the IP network. Therefore, it may not be able to view or be visible by the other devices. All HDR 1800s use the following temporary APIPA configuration:

 IP address: 169.254.X.Y (where X and Y are based on the last two octets of the MAC

address of the HDR 1800)

 Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0  Gateway: 169.254. *. *

Regardless of whether the HDR 1800 is using DHCP or APIPA, before you can add the HDR 1800 to the Nextiva VMS system, you must specify its static IP address. For more information on setting the IP address for the HDR 1800, see Chapter 3, “Configuring the HDR 1800”.

Verint Video Intelligence Solutions

Configuring Network Settings

Before adding an HDR 1800 to Nextiva VMS, you must configure its network settings. This involves setting a static IP address and subnet mask for the HDR 1800.

By default, the HDR 1800 is DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) enabled. If you have a DHCP server, the HDR 1800 automatically obtains an IP address upon initial startup from the DHCP server; this IP address is then displayed on all monitors connected to the HDR 1800 (upon initial startup), as well is in Nextiva Control Center.

If a DHCP server is not available on the network, the HDR 1800 assigns itself a temporary IP address based on the APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) addressing format.The APIPA scheme allows a device to assign itself a temporary IP address until it receives a complete network configuration, either manually or from a DHCP server. A device in APIPA mode does not reside on the same subnet as the other devices on the IP network. Therefore, it may not be able to view or be visible by the other devices. All HDR 1800s use the following temporary APIPA configuration:

 IP address: 169.254.X.Y (where X and Y are based on the last two octets of the MAC

address of the HDR 1800)

 Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0  Gateway: 169.254. *. *

Regardless of whether the HDR 1800 is using DHCP or APIPA, before you can register the HDR 1800 with Nextiva VMS and add it to Physical and Logical Groups in the Nextiva system, you must specify its static IP address.

This section provides the procedure for configuring network settings for the HDR 1800.

NOTE: You can only configure network settings for an HDR 1800 in Partially Discovered

configuration state. To modify monitor output settings for an HDR 1800 that is in the

Fully Discovered or Configured states, you must first reset the HDR 1800 to Partially Discovered state; see “Resetting the HDR 1800 to Partially Discovered State” on page

43.

 To configure network settings for the HDR 1800:

1. In the HDR 1800 Service Generator Browser pane, select a Partially Discovered HDR 1800 that you want to configure.

Configuring Monitor Output Settings

Before adding an HDR 1800 to Nextiva VMS, you must configure its monitor output settings. This involves setting the number of tiles or video outputs to display on each of the monitors connected to the HDR 1800, as well as setting the connector type (DVI, VGA, or Composite) for the monitors.

NOTE: If you are using the BNC-Composite (TV out) connection, ensure that the monitor is

connected to the HDR 1800 and turned on before restarting the HDR 1800.

The default monitor output settings for the HDR 1800 are as follows:

 Dual Monitor (extended desktop) configuration enabled  Monitor 1 Connector Type: DVI  Monitor 1 Tile layout: 2x2  Monitor 2 Connector Type: VGA  Monitor 2 Tile layout: 2x2

You can change the default settings by specifying a different Tile Layout: 1x1, 2x2 (default), 3x2, 3x3, 4x3, 4x4; or by selecting a different Connector Type: DVI, VGA, or Composite.

You can also set monitor output to Single monitor configuration if only one monitor is connected to the HDR 1800.

Nextiva VMS considers each tile a separate video output on the HDR 1800 and automatically assigns each tile a Monitor Name when the HDR 1800 is added to Physical and Logical Views.

This section provides the procedure for configuring monitor output settings for the HDR 1800.

NOTE: You can only configure monitor output settings for an HDR 1800 in Partially

Configuring the HDR 1800 in Virtual Matrix

When you add the HDR 1800 to Physical and Logical Groups in the Nextiva system, all video outputs (or tiles) configured on the Devices pane are added as monitors in Nextiva Virtual Matrix. You then use Nextiva Virtual Matrix to assign Monitor IDs and startup video sources to each monitor configured on the HDR 1800, as well as configure on-screen display (OSD) settings for the monitors. You can also add CCTV keyboards connected to the HDR 1800 in the Nextiva system and assign the keyboards to the corresponding serial port (RS-232 or RS-422) on the HDR

1800.

SSL

(Secure Sockets Layer) A commonly used protocol for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL works by using a public key to encrypt data that is transferred over the SSL connection. The SSL protocol secures the following data: I/O, serial port, and VSIP communication; it does not apply to audio and video transmission.

TKIP

(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) A security protocol used in the WPA authentication method.

TLS

(Transport Layer Security) A cryptographic protocol that provide secure communications on a wireless network.

TTLS

(Tunneled Transport Layer Security) A cryptographic protocol that creates a secure TLS tunnel.

VSIP

(Video Services over IP) A proprietary communication protocol for sending messages between a computer and a Nextiva edge device, or between two devices.

WAN

(Wide Area Network) A computer network that spans a relatively large geographical area. Typically, a WAN consists of two or more local area networks (LANs).

WEP

(Wired Equivalent Privacy) A security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) defined in the 802.11b standard. It is designed to afford wireless networks the same level of protection as a comparable wired network.

Wireless Bridge

A link between two networks, wired or wireless.

Wireless Cell

A group of wireless devices that communicate together on the same radio frequency channel and share the same wireless passkey.

Wireless Transmission

A technology in which electronic devices send information to receivers using radio waves rather than wiring.

WPA

(Wi-Fi Protected Access version 1) An authentication method to secure wireless systems. It is the successor of WEP. WPA implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard.

Transceiver

(Transmitter/Receiver) A device that both transmits and receives analog or digital signals.

Transmitter

A device sending video signals captured with a connected camera to a receiver. The transmitter converts the analog signal into a digital form before transmitting it. Also called encoder.

WPA2

(Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2) An authentication method that implements the full

802.11i standard, but will not work with some older network cards. It is also known as 802.11i.
