1.
Insert the CD disk provided with your encoder into your computer’s CD ROM drive and open the CD in
a Windows Explorer window.
2.
Find the IPAdminTool directory on the CD.
3.
Copy the IPAdminTool directory with its contents to your computer hard drive.
Step 4. Configure the network settings of you encoder
When your IP encoder is attached to a network and initially powered on, it attempts acquire compatible
network settings for each IP channel from a DHCP server. If it cannot find a DHCP server, it configures each
channel with the following static (fixed) settings:
IP address:
192.168.0.100
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
Gateway:
192.168.0.1
Your encoder must be configured with static network settings that are compatible with the LAN. If your
LAN has a DHCP server, use the following sub-step. Otherwise, use the sub-step procedure below for
LANs
without DHCP
.
Installing encoders on LANs with DHCP
1.
Connect your encoder to the LAN, then plug in the power adapter to power it on.
2.
Open the directory IPAdminTool directory on your computer, then double click the file
IPAdminTool.exe
to start the application. When IPAdmin Tool starts, it will discover all the IP
devices it supports that exist on the network. The discovery process may take a few minutes.
Check the list of devices found by IPAdmin Tool. You can identify your encoder IP channels by their
MAC addresses.
The Rack Info field “M” number is directly associated with the Vin channel (M0 for Vin1, M1 for Vin2,
etc.). The Rack Info identifiers in the list may not appear in order. See the following table for the
example shown above.
Rack Info

192.168.5.43:
00:13:23:D4:D1:45
R0, B0, M1
Vin2
192.168.5.59
00:13:23:D4:D1:46
R0, B0, M2
Vin3
192.168.5.61
00:13:23:D4:D1:47
R0, B0, M3
Vin4
192.168.5.50
00:13:23:D4:D1:48
If an encoder channel was not found, click the
Refresh
button every minute until the four channels
for your encoder appear in the list.
3.
Right click your encoder entry with Rack Info
R0, B0,M0
(IP channel associated with Vin1), then
select
IP Address
from the drop-down list. An IP Setup window will open.

Quick Installation Guide
This document guides you through the basic steps to install and configure your DDIGIOP™ Black
BLK-IPE4101 4-channel IP encoder. For detailed instructions, refer to the User Manual.

Step 1. Install the encoder
Mount the encoder in a secure location using the hardware installation kit provided. The kit includes
mounting brackets that slide into the sides of the encoder.
Connect video feeds from four analog cameras to the four Vin BNC connector (Vin1, Vin2, Vin3, Vin4) on the
front of the encoder.
Connections to the encoder for audio in and out (microphone and speaker), D/I sensor, alarm, video out
BNC, RS-232C, and RS-485 control are made through two 6-pin and two 8-pin terminal blocks. Vin1 is
associated with Ain1 (microphone), Aout1 (speaker), DI1 (sensor), DO1 (alarm output), and the first IP
channel. Similarily, Vin2 is associated with Ain2, Aout2, etc. Attach peripheral devices to the terminal
blocks as shown below. For detailed interface specifications, refer to the user manual.

Step 2. Connect the encoder to the LAN
Attach a network LAN cable to the RJ-45 connector on the encoder backpanel.
Attach the DC12V adapter to the power connector on the encoder.
DO NOT apply power
to the encoder
at this time.
Step 3. Install IPAdmin Tool
The IPAdminTool is a utility for configuring the network settings of your DIGIOP™ Black encoders and
installing new firmware. It can be loaded on a Microsoft® Windows® XP, Vista or Windows 7 operating
system. At a computer on the same LAN (subnet) where your encoder will be installed, do the following:
