Preparations
Before you begin establishing connections and specifying configurations, you should
familiarize yourself with the hardware and use of your system
:
Number and manufacturer of the recording cameras
.
Number and type of input contacts for event recording
.
For serial connection of cash-dispensing machines or access control systems
with card readers, the protocol used and the serial parameters.
The required storage capacity for the image data.
Take into account an additional 15% of the calculated image storage capacity
for management of images.
Recording grid (number of images per unit of time) of the corresponding cam-
eras for permanent and/or event recording
.
You should also be experienced in dealing with MS Windows and be able to in-
stall hardware and software
.
For set-up of network applications, you should also have the following information
available to you:
Network topology and technology and responsibilities of your system
.
Computer name and/or IP addresses of the computers and devices to be set
.
Instructions on installation of in-house PC cards and external devices
Please observe the following instructions, which will help you avoid time-consuming
installation work and ensure error-free operation:
Wherever possible, use PC cards offered by GEUTEBRÜCK. If you ordered
these cards with the device, they are already installed and ready for operation
.
When re-ordering a card, we strongly recommend also ordering assembly and
the installation at the same time
.
Installation of third-party PC cards is performed at your own risk as we cannot
ensure proper system function in such case
.
Only use monitors that meet the minimum requirements set out here. If possible,
only use standard PC keyboards and mice that are MS Windows-compatible.
If possible, use printers that are supported by MS Windows, the printer drivers of
which can be found on the system disk in the Windows directory.
For connecting external devices, note in general
:
G-ST 2000+
devices do not have
a CD-ROM/DVD drive
. When selecting de-
vices, please ensure that the devices are compatible with MS Windows.
For the use of a recovery DVD you need an external USB drive.
In this context, please take into account the training that GEUTEBRÜCK offers
for safe use of the G-ST hardware and software.
