Hardware installation
Before installing one or more DDK-3000 Video Encoders at their desired locations, the administrator
should record the serial numbers that can be found on both the unit and on the packing carton.
Cable connection
To install the DDK-3000 Video Encoder, the unit should first be connected to
a network switch via the RJ45 socket. The Ethernet cable should meet UTP
category 5 standards and not exceed 300 feet.
Power on
Make sure all cables are correctly and firmly connected before powering the DDK-3000 Video Encoder.
Turn on cameras, sensors, or any other alarm inputs and then plug in the 12VDC power adaptor of the
DDK-3000 Video Encoder to an AC power socket. When the power adapter is plugged into the utility
socket, the front LED will alternate between green and red for several cycles. After completing the self-
test, the LED will remain green, indicating that the Video Encoder is in standby mode for receiving an IP
address. After getting an IP Address, the LED should blink green every second. Otherwise refer to
Appendix A for troubleshooting.
Installation
In this manual, “User” refers to whoever has access to the DDK-3000 Video Encoder, and
“Administrator” refers to the person who can configure the encoder and grant user access to the device.
Following the hardware installation, users can utilize the Installation Wizard program included in the
product CD-ROM to locate the DDK-3000 Video Encoder on the network. If multiple encoders are
present on the local network, users can differentiate the devices by their serial numbers. The serial number
is printed on the packing carton and also on the DDK-3000 Video Encoder. Please refer to the user’s
manual of the Installation Wizard for detail.
Once installation is complete, the Administrator should proceed to the next section, “Initial Access to the
Video Encoder,” for necessary checks and configurations.
Connect the jack of the power adapter to DDK-3000 Video Encoder prior to plugging the utility end
into the utility power socket. This will reduce accidental electrical surge.
Consult with the dealer of the peripherals for correct installation.
