Configuring the Network Settings
Note: Before starting, make sure that VNSetup is installed on the configuring PC\workstation. Installation is
done using the CD included.
There are two ways to change the IP server network settings:
•
Activating the IP encoder for the first time: via VNSetup application.
•
Connecting the IP encoder to an active Nucleus: via ViconNet application (connection to same Nucleus
as the encoder is necessary).
Note: In order to install firmware, the PC and camera must be on the same IP network.
Using the VNSetup Utility
VNSetup consists of several TABs. Each TAB provides different functionalities.
Note: Once the IP Camera Setup is run the first time, a shortcut is placed on the desktop for future use.
1. Make sure the MAC address and password of the encoder is available. Use MAC Address log
provided.
2.
Verify that the encoder is physically connected to the configuring workstation via the network.
Setup TAB
Note: Since the Setup configuration affects the entire installation process, it MUST be configured first.
In the Setup TAB, 3 fields are defined. The Upgrade files field indicates the installation upgrade directory. The
Log files field allows the user the ability to put a copy of log files in a predefined directory. Password
management selects a directory to save all password files. (By default, the setup files will be installed to
C:\VUG.) In Password file status , the number of passwords stored is displayed. Load a list of passwords is
intended for very large sites only. Connect Technical Support to use this feature.
