6.4- Main Encoder Interface
Note: The Encoder requires configuration before accessing for the first time
.
See sections
9-IP Installer Software
and
10-Initial Configuration
before opening the browser.
6.4.1- Accessing the Encoder
Note: IE 8.0 or higher is required to access the Encoder; other browsers are not supported at this time.
A. Open the web browser, and enter the IP Address that was assigned to the Encoder. The address should include the
port number assigned to the Encoder. Note that access varies between local network and remote access through a
DDNS.
Local Network Example:
http://192.168.1.56:8056
Remote Access (DDNS) Example: http://JonesIPEncoder.wirepathdns.com:8056
B. A window will open asking for a username and password.
Default Username and Password:
Username:
admin
Password:
admin
Recommendation:
After initial setup of the Encoders, we recommend that the password be changed to avoid
unwanted access.
C. Install the ActiveX control if prompted to do so.
D. After installing the ActiveX the Encoder should be visible in the web browser, if the Encoder does not appear, verify the
IP address by using the IP Installer.
6.4.2- Recommendations for Best Performance
As the number of open browser windows or tabs increases, the risk of slowed response time to the Encoders increases. We
recommend that open browser windows or tabs be limited to no more than 4 to avoid interruption in communications or reduced
response time with the Encoders.
Due to the limited upload speeds set by ISP (Internet Service Provider) we recommend that Streaming 2 is selected when viewing the
Encoders remotely (outside the local network) as the lower resolution provides better frame rates allowing for a smoother video
stream.
