SECTION 2: INSTALLING THE
System4
®
SERVER
2.1
Installing the
System4
Server PC Unit
The following information and diagrams guide you through installation of the
System4
Server PC, multiplexer, and
peripheral components. The
System4
Server PC is supplied in an enclosure designed to fit a standard EIA 19-inch
rack. If applicable, install the PC into the rack using appropriate mounting hardware (not supplied). The PC is also
supplied with 2 keys which fit its front panel lock.
The
System4
’s multiplexer is a 16-input digital video multiplexer. When used with the
System4
Server, the
multiplexer can output up to 30 unique images of video every second. The multiplexer delivers a time-base corrected
signal to the Server PC, which digitizes and stores the images on its internal hard drive. A second digital video
multiplexer can be added to the system configuration for a total of 32 inputs.
The
System4
’s multiplexer is supplied in an enclosure suitable for a desktop or rack mount installation. If the unit will
be rack mounted, remove the 4 rubber feet on the bottom of the unit, and attach the supplied racking ears to the side
of the enclosure. The unit can then be installed in a standard 19-inch EIA rack using appropriate hardware.
Use
Figures 2
or
3
to complete the following installation instructions for the
System4
Server PC and multiplexers.
1. Plug the keyboard cable into the keyboard connector and mouse cable into the mouse connector on the rear
panel of the
System4
Server PC.
2. Attach the PC monitor (user-supplied) to the monitor connector of the
System4
Server PC.
3. Plug the 25-pin male D-connector end of the
System4
Interface cable into the DB-25 connector on the rear of
the
System4
Server PC.
4. Plug the
IN
connector of the
System4
Server Interface cable to the
VCR OUT
connector located on the rear
of the multiplexer.
5. Connect the
OUT
connector of the
System4
Server Interface cable to an external video monitor, VCR, or
other analog device if you would like to view/record exported
System4
Server video.
6. If images from the
System4
Server will be viewed over a network using the Remote Viewer software, connect a
standard 100 BaseT Ethernet cable into the network card (J). See
Figures A1
and
A2
in
Appendix A
.
7. Connect the coax cables from the system video cameras to the video input connectors on the rear of the
multiplexer.
8. If using video loop-through connections, connect coax cables from the external devices to the appropriate
loop-through outputs on the rear of the multiplexer.
9. If the multiplexer will be used in a conventional
stand-alone
manner, you can connect its
MON A
and
MON B
outputs to standard video monitors.
10. Connect one end of the 9-pin connector of the
System4
Console Cable to
Comm 1
port of the PC. Connect
the other end of the cable to the
Console
port of the multiplexer.
11. If applicable, refer to the manual supplied with the multiplexer to connect any control data and/or alarm
inputs/outputs to the multiplexer.
12. Plug the appropriate AC power cords into the power connectors of the
System4
PC, the PC monitor, and the
multiplexer.
Verify that the PC voltage selector switch located next to the AC line cord is set to the correct
position.
13. Plug the AC power cords of the PC, PC monitor, and multiplexer into an appropriate electrical outlet (the
multiplexer automatically functions when power is provided—there is no power switch).
14. To provide power to the
System4
Server box, use the power switch on the rear panel. To turn on the Server
PC, use the power switch on the front panel.
