DEVICE DETECTION & INITIALISATION
• Setup the network card connected to the system as explained in the preliminary network setup section.
• Run the “Videx IP Wizard.exe” with administrator rights.
• If windows firewall is running, the first time that you launch the software you may receive a safety warning ( Fig. 2 ): please allow
the “Videx IP Wizard.exe” to connect to all types of network (local or public).
• On first time installation the software shows a notice ( Fig. 3 ) that says that there are devices not initialised and requests confirma-
tion to initialise them. The videophones show the “DEVICE NOT INITIALISED” screen ( Fig. 4 ).
• Click on yes to automatically initialise all the devices connected to the system.
• The software initialises all the devices giving them a generic name and an IP address. Under settings->preferences you can set the
default prefix description for door panels and the default prefix description for the videophones. By factory default the prefix for
door panels is “DP__”, the prefix for videophones or inntercoms is “INT__” and the prefix for relay modules is “MOD_”. During the
initialisation all devices will be automatically assigned a device name that will be a combination of the prefix plus the device ID.
Under settings->preferences the following default values can also be assigned:
» The start ID;
» The first IP address
» The subnet mask
» The gateway
» The primary DNS
» The secondary DNS
In the “Network Settings” area you can select the network car connected to the system then it is possible to enable the features
to accept the connection from devices (to allow to go directly to the device configuration by simply pressing a button on it) and
to work in OFFLINE mode (to allow the system to be used as normal while editing parameters of one or more devices).
• The devices go into the “maintenance mode” showing the maintenance screen ( Fig. 5 ).
• The wizard shows the devices detected ( Fig. 6 ), the orange rows are outdoor panels, the yellow rows are video indoor stations,
the green rows are audio indoor stations while the pale blue rows are for the relay modules.
• On the device grid list you can edit directly the “Device ID”, the “IP Address” and the “Device Description” ( Fig. 7 ). Any change will
be uploaded immediately to the device if you are working in standard mode, otherwise will be uploaded to the devices when you
press the button “Apply Changes to Devices” if you are working in “OFFLINE MODE” (in “OFFLINE MODE” these settings cannot be
changed from the program main window, but only on device configuration window).
• When you operate in “OFFLINE MODE” the header of the “Videx IP Wizard.exe” changes as shown in Fig. 8 .
» The software temporarily locks the devices during the detection then automatically releases them.
» It is possible to make changes to the operations of devices while set to “OFFLINE MODE”. However, operation changes that
require an on-line connection such as “firmware update” or “connections from device” will not be possible while in this mode.
» Once the required changes are made, you can upload the changes to the devices by pressing the button “Apply Changes To Devices”.
As mentioned above, it is strongly recommended to name all devices with a descriptive name.
