The

and

information are displayed automatically on this

Registration
The VNUC-PCV7 is delivered fully registered.
Note
If your system includes third party camera(s), they need a license (VN-CAM-
LIC) and to be registered. Third party cameras only need to be registered
once in the Nucleus for the entire system.
Modifying the System Configuration
The ViconNet system default configuration can be modified, depending on
your requirements, as described in the following sections. This site will be
configured as the Nucleus.
Configuring the Network Setup
The network setup parameters are configured individually for each device in
the system, using the ViconNet application installed on each device. When
setting up a network, this unit is assigned as a
Nucleus
and the other devices
in the network must point to it. Each device (either a transmitter or a
Workstation) has the option to input the Nucleus IP address.
Devices that share the network can connect to the same Nucleus and form a
system, which enables them to connect to each other. This includes the
ability to synchronize multiple devices with the Nucleus time or update all the
time settings to another time zone.
To configure the network setup, you must specify both the master Nucleus IP
on all devices and may choose to specify the backup Nucleus IP addresses
on the device running the master Nucleus. The backup Nucleus setup is
configured only on the master Nucleus device. Refer to instruction manual
XX231 for details on configuring the backup Nucleus.
Notes
If the Nucleus fails, any device that uses that master Nucleus will
automatically shift to local operation mode. This means that it will use the
latest Nucleus configuration from before losing the Nucleus and will keep
operating without a Nucleus.
The Nucleus and backup Nucleus must have fixed IP addresses. DHCP
cannot be used on the site running the Nucleus
