Network Considerations
The I-Onyx MP-980DN Camera can be connected to any ViconNet network (Version 5.6 software). ViconNet
NVRs, DVRs and Workstations can be used for live viewing and recording of network-streamed video. A
network can be as simple as a single MP-980DN camera connected to a ViconNet Workstation or can be
complex with the addition of several networks interconnected via WAN.
When adding an MP-980DN Camera to the ViconNet network, the following items must be considered:
•
The number of cameras on a switch with respect to switch capabilities and system bandwidth mapping.
•
Bandwidth limitations on ports connected to workstations (using 100 or 1000 Mbps).
•
Workstation capabilities such as processing speed, disk write speed and display card strength.
•
Storage size and location types including local Workstation recording, attached SCSI RAID and inte-
grated NAS/SAN devices.
Refer to the ViconNet workstation manual XX113-3X for complete information on operation. A copy
of the manual can be found on the CD included.
MAC Address
Each camera has a unique MAC (media access control) address. This information is essential in the camera
configuration process described in ViconNet configuration section of this manual. Be sure to make a record
of this address and where the camera is installed. The MAC address label is located on the bottom of the
camera.
