2 Specific FastTrace Configurations

2.1 FastTrace 2 Lite

The FastTrace 2 Lite has been designed, developed and manufactured as a complete FastTrace 2 video security system, but the Entry system license that is included, limits the number of supported cameras to a maximum of 4 analogue cameras.

Also note that the FastTrace 2 Lite can only operate with analogue cameras; it does not support IP cameras. The FastTrace 2 Lite comes with an Entry system license. It is not possible to expand the video system with

new licenses and/or extra extension boards.

For more information on the system licenses, see System License on page 13. For more information on FastTrace 2 Lite, see the commercial datasheet. You can download the datasheet

from our website www.xtralissecurity.com (logon not required for commercial datasheets).

Note

The FastTrace 2 Lite has become obsolete. Xtralis no longer provides it.

2.2 FastTrace 2X

The FastTrace 2X has been developed as a more powerful video system with higher performance and more efficient operation.

The major difference is that the FastTrace 2X supports up to 16 analytic channels, while the FastTrace 2 is limited to a maximum of 4 analytic streams.

The FastTrace 2X comes with a full or TX-only system license.

to both the FastTrace 2 and the FastTrace 2X, unless specifically mentioned otherwise.

Note

The FastTrace 2X has become obsolete. Xtralis no longer provides it.

2.3 FastTrace 2E

The FastTrace 2E is the latest hardware in the ADPRO® FastTrace™ 2 series. It has been developed as a powerful video system with high performance and more efficient operation to replace the former FastTrace units. The FastTrace 2E has up to 20 analogue video inputs, up to 32 IP video inputs, and supports up to 32 analytic channels.

Although the XOa 3 software technically allows for 32 IP channels, these 32 channels are only available on FastTrace 2E models with an Intel DH61BE or MiTAC PH10LU motherboard, and 4 GB RAM or more. On other models, maximum 16 IP channels are available.

Furthermore, to use the 32 IP channels, the FastTrace 2E requires a new system license. Use Xchange to install the new license. For instructions, see Field Alert #6 – Upgrading to Xoa 3.

Remember to purchase and install additional IP licenses if required. You can purchase the FastTrace 2E with a full or TX-only system license.

to both the FastTrace 2 and the FastTrace 2E, unless specifically mentioned otherwise.

2.4 System License

From version 2.00, all ADPRO video systems require a system license.

Note

Applications such as IntrusionTrace, LoiterTrace…, IP channels, and the video encoder cards require a separate license. They are not included in the system license.

There are 3 types of system licenses available:

 FULL: all features of the video system are available.  ENTRY(*): all features are available, with these restrictions:

- You can use only 4 analogue cameras (no IP camera support).

- You can use only 1 hard disk.

- You can only use 1 MIO card (and no EIO cards).

 TRANSMITTER (TX) only: all features are available, but continuous recording is not allowed and

recording on event is fixed to 5 seconds pre-recording, 10 seconds event recording, and 0 seconds postrecording. Furthermore, event recording stops when the limit of 16,000 events has been reached.

(*) The ENTRY system license is not available for the FastTrace 2X or FastTrace 2E configuration. A FastTrace 2 video system running without system license will behave as a video system with a FULL

license for 5 days. However, the system informs the user of the license error via the event message 0013 – [SYST] – SYSTEM LICENSE ERROR, and via a popup window at each connection with the XOa client.

After that period of 5 days, the video system enters a locked-down state, and refuses all connections for live streams and recordings. All active configured recordings continue on the video system. During this locked-down state, the XOa client shows only the About window (so that you can retrieve the necessary information to order a new license) and the Transfer window (so that you can upload a license to the

Page 14

Hardware Installation Manual ADPRO® FastTrace™ 2 Series

14 21790_05

FastTrace 2 video system). For more information on uploading licenses, see the XOa Client Software User Manual.

Note

The system license is locked on the FastTrace 2 motherboard and is therefore system specific: the license must include the correct MAC address.

When you upload the system license and your unit already has other licenses (e.g. an encoder

license, a LoiterTrace license…), your video system merges all these licenses together in one

license file. For backup and archiving, you only need to download one file.

3 Hard Disks

3.1 Required Hard Disk Capacity

As there are lots of configuration possibilities, Xtralis has a hard disk space calculator available. You can find this hard disk space calculator on the CD/DVD provided with your FastTrace 2 video system, or you can download it from our website www.xtralissecurity.com. Make sure you log on with sufficient download rights.

Note

The calculator is an estimating tool only. Figures are purely indicative. The real requirements of the hard disk capacity depend on scene content.

3.2 Adding/Replacing a Hard Disk

If you receive error messages from your hard disk in the Status screen of the XOa client, you may need to replace the faulty hard disk.

If the system is running out of disk space, you can add a new hard disk without removing any of the hard disks in use. You can install up to 4 hard disks.

Note

When using an Entry system license, you can use only 1 hard disk. For example, with the ADPRO FastTrace 2 Lite.

Note

It is possible to mount a hard disk coming from another unit into a new unit. If you do this, you can play back video that has been recorded by the other FastTrace 2 unit.

Take the following restrictions into account:

 Make sure that the new unit has the same configuration concerning the number of video

channels as the unit from which the hard disk was taken.

 Xtralis recommends to immediately put the number of days recording to 0 (in the Recording

Behaviour screen, Maximum days recording). This prevents overwriting of valuable data.

 Clear all recording conditions in the recording behaviour. This prevents overwriting of valuable

data.  Do not mix hard disks from different FastTrace 2 units into one, because this will result in

unpredictable behaviour. Do not add the old disk to the new unit, but replace the disk(s) in the

new unit by the old disk(s).

3.3 Retrieving Hard Disk Information

You can retrieve hard disk information and identify possibly hard disks using the Telnet ta,smart command, or using the XOa client software.

3.3.1 Using the ta,smart Command

SMART stands for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. Execute the ta,smart command in a Telnet session to obtain the SMART information for all hard disks in the FastTrace 2 video system.

The screen displays the following information:

Device

Indicates the specific hard disk

Power status

The power status column displays one of the following statuses:

 ERROR  there is a problem retrieving the power status of the drive  ACTIVE/IDLE  drive operates normally  STANDBY  drive is in low power mode (drive is in spin-down status)  SLEEPING  drive is in lowest power mode (drive is completely shut down)

Smart status

The smart status column displays one of the following statutes:

 ERROR  drive is failing  ALERT  there is a problem retrieving SMART info from the drive, or the

drive may be in the process of failing

 NORMAL  no problems found with the drive

Temperature

The temperature column displays from left to right:

 the minimum temperature of the disk  the current temperature of the disk  the maximum temperature of the disk

Force [ON/OFF]

ON = SMART is checked on disk in STANDBY or SLEEPING mode OFF = SMART is only checked on disks in ACTIVE/IDLE mode

Interval

Indicates the interval (in minutes) between SMART checks.

Temperature threshold

If the disk temperature is higher than this threshold, the system generates the alarm I102: 'SMART HDD ALERT TEMP'.

3.3.2 Using the XOa Client Software

If you have more than one hard disk installed in your server, you can check which hard disk is causing the alarm messages in the XOa client via System > Maintenance > Harddisks. The Smart column shows the operational status of the hard disks.

3.9 RAID 1 Support

From version 2.8.xx onwards, you can activate RAID 1.

3.9.1 About RAID 1

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks (originally Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks). It is a storage technology that combines multiple disk drive components into a logical unit. Data is distributed across the drives in one of several ways called RAID levels, depending on the level of redundancy and performance required. RAID has become an umbrella term for computer data storage schemes that can divide and replicate data among multiple physical drives, while the operating system can still access the data as being on one single drive.

RAID 1 is about mirroring without parity or striping. Data is written identically to two drives, thereby producing

a “mirrored set”: the read request is serviced by either of the two drives containing the requested data,

whichever one has the shortest search time plus rotational latency.

Page 28

Hardware Installation Manual ADPRO® FastTrace™ 2 Series

28 21790_05

3.9.2 Activating RAID 1

RAID 1 requires a minimum of 2 hard disks. The size of the RAID 1 recording combination is the smaller of the 2 disks installed in your server. If, for example, you have a 1 TB disk and a 2 TB disk, the RAID 1 recording disk has a 1 TB capacity.

Caution!

When you apply RAID 1, the system formats the selected disks and erases the data on the disks. You will lose all the data on the disks.

To activate RAID 1, proceed as follows:

1. Reboot the server and access the XOa Installer menu.

2. Choose Update current system.

3. Choose Manage recording disks.

4. Use the arrows keys to select the desired hard disk and press Enter to activate the selection. An X appears in front of the selected hard disk (between the brackets). Select two hard disks, then choose Make RAID 1 (mirror) from selected disks.

Note

Do not select three or four disks. The third and fourth disk will then be configured as spare disks within the RAID 1 configuration. If you want to put disk 1 and 2 in RAID 1, and also disk 3 and 4 in RAID 1, execute this step twice.

5. When mirroring has finished, choose Main menu.

6. Choose Reboot.

You can check which disks are in RAID 1 mode in the XOa client software. Launch the XOa client software and choose System > Maintenance > Harddisks. At the bottom of the window you find the Harddisks section. The Type column indicates whether the disk is a RAID 1 disk.

4 Fan Speed Selection

Two large fans dissipate the heat. The fans have a switch to select the speed: low, medium, or fast. For most ambient temperatures, you can set the fan speed to medium. Change the fan speed only for extreme ambient temperatures.

Note

The most recent units are equipped with new models of fans. These models have no switch to select the speed. The speed is adjusted automatically.

8 Main and Extension I/O Cards

8.1 Features

Note

With the FastTrace 2E Series, Xtralis introduced the Next Generation I/O cards. If you are using Next Generation cards with your FastTrace 2E unit, see Main and Extension I/O Cards Next Generation on page 57.

The Main I/O (MIO) and Extension I/O (EIO) cards are internal I/O cards, to be fitted inside the ADPRO FastTrace 2 system. They are also called OTB (on-the-board) cards.

These I/O cards offer:

 8 tamper-protected inputs and 4 relay outputs (rated 14 VDC @ 1 A) on the Main I/O card  12 tamper-protected inputs and 4 relay outputs on the Extension I/O card  driver for PTZ cameras (half/full duplex RS-485) or audio module/VM22A audio switcher (selected by

jumpers on the card)

 driver for front LED indicators on FastTrace 2 model  auto-detected cards on FastTrace 2 system

8.2 Possible Configurations

You can configure maximum 2 sets of I/O cards on the FastTrace 2:

 Main I/O only  Main I/O + Extension I/O  2 x Main I/O + Extension I/O  2 x Main I/O + 2 x Extension I/O

Note

With an ENTRY system license you can install only 1 Main I/O card. Multiple Main I/O cards are not supported. Also, an ENTRY system does not support Extension I/O cards. This is for instance the case with the ADPRO FastTrace 2 Lite.

11 HIPI Card for IP Cameras

The HIPI card offers an isolated LAN network (10/100/1000 Mbps on RJ45 connector) to connect IP cameras.

Note

The HIPI card can also function as Ethernet card from version 2.9 onwards. The HIPI card is no longer used for new FastTrace 2 units. It is not compatible with the MiTAC PH10LU motherboard.

11.1 Ethernet Settings

The Ethernet connection of your FastTrace 2 server and the Ethernet connections of the installed HIPI card(s) must be set on different IP ranges! IP cameras can be connected on either HIPI card, as shown in the illustration below, with a maximum of 8 cameras per HIPI card. Yet, if you have installed two HIPI cards you can connect up to 16 IP cameras to the same switch/HIPI card.

Page 75

ADPRO® FastTrace™ 2 Series Hardware Installation Manual

21790_05 75

Note

The HIPI Ethernet interfaces use ETH1 and/or ETH2, not ETH0.

In case of 2 HIPI cards with IP only, there is no restriction in which camera is connected to which port. A 16-camera network can be connected to a single port.

The HIPI card is automatically detected by the FastTrace 2 video system. Each HIPI card must be configured with a different IP address and a subnet mask. As a consequence, 3 IP ranges are possible on a FastTrace 2 configuration:

 IP range of the FastTrace 2 video system  IP range of the first HIPI card  IP range of the second HIPI card

All IP cameras connected to the HIPI card (by means of a switch) must be set in the same IP range as the HIPI card.

17.2 Audio OUT

17.2.1 Setup

There is one general audio output available on the server: either via the MIO or via the audio out plug of the motherboard (= green 3.5 mm jack). If necessary, you can add VM22A audio units.

Audio outputs are available on one or two VM22A units, connected in cascade. Unit 0 is controlled by the MIO card, and drives loudspeakers 1 to 10. Unit 1 connects to the first unit through the EIO loop connecter and drives loudspeakers 11 to 20.

For more information, see the VM22A Audio Switcher – Installation and User Manual. You can assign each loudspeaker to a camera using the XOa client software. If only 1 loudspeaker is needed on the site, you can do without the VM22A switch. In this case, connect an

amplified loudspeaker to the audio out plug of the motherboard (= green 3.5 mm jack). It is also possible to connect an amplified loudspeaker to the audio out output on the Main I/O Card.

Note

If talk-back does not work, check the following:

 Routers may block UDP packets. Use TCP or configure the router to allow UDP packets.  Use the PC headphones plug instead of the PC microphone plug.  The microphone on your computer is not correctly configured.

In this case you need to configure the microphone device.

In Windows XP:

1. In Control Panel, select Sound and Audio Devices.

2. Open the Voice tab in the Sounds and Audio Devices Properties dialog box.

18 Connecting PIRs

18.1 Required PIR Firmware

For a correct functioning of the PIR alarm processing, a minimal PIR firmware version 2.00 is required. Previous firmware versions also work with RS-485 communication, but do not support all features (e.g. Alarm Management).

18.2 Connecting the PIRs

To connect PIRs to the server, you have the following options:

 using an RS-485 cable and connecting the cable from the PIR to the Main I/O card of the server  using the USB to RS-485 8 channel distribution unit  using a USB to serial port RS-485 converter and connecting the PIR to the converter by means of an

RS-485 cable

Note

From firmware version 2.6 onwards, a separate PIR-HLI application license is required to configure the PIR devices.

18.2.1 Connecting the PIR Detector Directly to the Main I/O Card

Note

For the Next Generation Main I/O cards, see Main I/O Cards Next Generation on page 90.

Connect the PIR device(s) (set up multiple PIRs in cascade) to the server by connecting the RS-485 cable of the PIR closest to the server to the Main I/O card.

You must connect the PIR(s) to the appropriate terminals on the Main I/O card. Set the jumpers on the Main I/O to PTZ output and RS-485 2-wire.

Note

If you use a 24 VAC supply for more than 1 PIR, make sure to connect all PIRs in phase.

18.2.2 Connecting the PIR Detector Using the USB to RS-485 8-Channel Distribution Unit

The USB to RS-485 distribution unit provides 8 channels (1 PIR unit per channel) to easily connect and configure the PIR units to the server.

For more information, see technical datasheet 19532060 on the USB to RS-485 8-channel distribution unit. Up to 8 PIRs can be connected through star wiring to the USB to RS-485 distribution unit. Only the 485

bidirectional communication of the PIRs is used, we do not use the mechanical PIR tampers. It is possible to connect 4 distribution units in cascade (= only one of the 4 distribution units needs to be connected to the server, but the cables between the other units shall not exceed 1 metre), so the server supports a maximum of 32 PIR devices.

The distribution unit contains a USB connection port for communication with the server. Connect it to the dev/ttyU2 USB port on the server. Do not use any other ports. Keep the USB cable between distribution unit and server as short as possible (max. 1 metre). Restart the XOa client software after connecting the PIR to the USB port.

18.2.3 Connecting the PIR Detector Using a USB to Serial Port RS-485 Converter

Connect the PIR detector to the converter and plug the USB cable of the converter in the dev/ttyU2 USB port of the server. Restart the XOa client software after connecting the PIR to the USB port.

You can place locally powered PIR detectors at the maximum distance of 1200 m for RS-485 cables, but remember that this remains a 3-line communication (RS-485 + 0V). Make sure that there is no difference in earth potential between the server and the PIR.

The above drawing shows you the Intel DH61BE motherboard. For the location of dev/ttyU2 USB port on the specific motherboard of your video system, see Required Motherboard on page 32.

22 Diagnostics

In case of major troubles with the server, the system allows to generate a number of traces. In some cases, the Xtralis Support Division may ask you to activate and capture some traces and files that can be helpful to resolve any technical issues.

22.1 Retrieving Traces

The server can output its internal trace buffer to hard disk to allow tracing for longer periods of time without losing the data. This happens with the Telnet command tr,output,file. To easily retrieve these files, type the server’s IP address in the address bar of your internet browser and add /log.php to the address. Example: http://10.0.0.10/log.php.

Here you can download the generated log files. You need to enable logging first. When you open the web page without having enabled logging, the Internal Logging page appears. It

displays the instructions to enable logging.
