Encoder Configuration
The dome’s built-in encoder should be configured in a lab before the camera is installed in
the field.
1.
Power up your dome and connect it to a network switch
on the same local area network as the
Latitude system.
2.
Launch AdminCenter and click the Directory (globe) icon in the Selection View Pane.
Switch to the
Discovery
tab in the Configuration Pane.

3.
Choose
VSIP
from the
Discover
drop-down menu and enter the beginning and ending
VSIP ports through which the system should search. VSIP domes’ default port is
5510
but if your unit’s port has been changed in the past use a low start value and high stop
value as your discovery parameters. Click the “binoculars” button to begin searching.
4.
Your dome will appear as a unit of type “unknown” if it is new or its built-in encoder
has recently been rebooted. Otherwise, it will be listed as a camera (encoder). Right click
the dome and choose
Change IP Address…
Give the unit an IP address in the same IP
scheme as your Latitude system and leave the
Subnet mask
and
Gateway
unchanged
unless advised otherwise by your network administrator
.
