To configure the exacqVision A-Series server, complete the following steps:
Open the exacqVision client.
From the navigation tree, select System Setup, and select the Network tab.
In the Network window, choose one of the following options:
If you install the server on a network that uses static IP addressing, select Static, and enter the IP address.
If you install the server on a network using DHCP, select Dynamic. If the information does not automatically configure,
contact your network administrator.
Click Apply.
Repeat this procedure for any additional network ports. For more information on configuring the server, refer to the

Install the client software on a system administrator computer.
Confirm the connectivity with the server using the ping command and the server's IP address. If the client PC cannot
communicate with the server, contact your network administrator.

Camera connections
To connect cameras to the system, complete the following steps:
Connect the analog cameras, PTZ serial cables, or alarm I/O. For more information, see Connections.
Note: Connections vary by model.
Using the camera manufacturer’s software, configure the IP address for all the cameras, and record this information for future
reference.
Note: Do not change the username and passwords until after you establish connectivity with the exacqVision server.
For additional information, refer to the camera manufacturer’s website or the
exacqVision IP Camera Quick Start Guide at:
http://www.exacq.com/downloads/ev-ip-quickstart-0311.pdf
. You may also find the Quick Start Guide in the Quickstarts
directory on the CD that Exacq dispatch with your system.
To determine the compatibility of a particular camera model and firmware combination with exacqVision servers, refer to the
Exacq website at:
http://www.exacq.com/support/ipcams.php
Test the connectivity between the camera and the server by completing the following steps:
a. Log off of the operating system's user account and log on to the administrator account. Depending on whether you use Linux
or Windows operating system, complete one of the following steps:
For Linux, enter the username
Administrator
and the password
admin256
.
For Windows, enter the administrator’s username and password created during the initial startup of the server.
b. Type the camera’s IP address into the address bar on your internet browser.
c.
Press Enter. If the browser does not display an introductory or logon window, the camera is not establishing a connection with
the server. Refer to the
exacqVision User Manual and
https://www.exacq.com/kb
for a solution, if the problem persists.
Repeat steps one to four for all other camera connections.
