Site Survey
Before you set up the hardware connections or software configuration for your TIMS MVP
™
system, you should perform a site survey to establish general requirements.
•
Determine requirements and location of TIMS units, including proximity to power and
network adapters.
•
Determine the type, number, and location of video imaging devices you will connect to
the TIMS MVP
™
system.
•
Determine if distances to video sources will exceed 6 meters, in which case a video
amplifier may be required.
•
Determine network settings (domain or workgroup, dynamic or static IP address, and so
on).
