Initial Access to the Video Encoder
Check Network Settings
Once the Installer program has been used to assign an IP address to the DDK-3000 Video Encoder, the
unit can be accessed immediately over the local network. The Administrator should complete the network
settings on the configuration page of the unit, including the correct subnet mask and IP address of
gateway and DNS. Ask your network administrator or Internet service provider for this information.
Unless programmed otherwise, the DDK-3000 Video Encoder requires that the Administrator run the
Installer program each time it reboots. If the network settings are to remain unchanged, this option should
be disabled. Refer to “Network settings” on the System Configuration page for details. If any setting is
entered incorrectly and the unit cannot proceed with system setup, the encoder should be reset to factory
default settings. Follow the steps in the “Troubleshooting” chapter of the Appendix.
Add Password for Authentication
The default Administrator’s password is blank and the DDK-3000 Video Encoder initially will not prompt
the user for a password. Following installation, the Administrator should immediately assign a new
password as a matter of prudent security practice. Once the Administrator’s password is saved, the DDK-
3000 Video Encoder will ask for the user’s name and password before granting access. The Administrator
can set up a maximum of twenty (20) user accounts. Each user can access the DDK-3000 Video Encoder
but only the Administrator’s password will provide access to the system configuration menus. Some
critical functions are exclusive to the Administrator, such as system configuration, user administration,
and software upgrades. The user name for the Administrator is permanently assigned as “root.” Once the
password is changed, the browser will display an authentication window to ask for the new password.
Once the root password is set, there is no provision for the Administrator to recover it. The only option is
to restore the unit to the factory default settings.
