3. Push the power button on the back of the HDR 1800. The power led on the front of the HDR 1800 lights
up.
When the HDR 1800 first powers on, a splash screen with the unit’s IP address (DHCP or APIPA), device name,
firmware version, and other information appear on all monitors. By default, the HDR 1800 is DHCP enabled.
Before you can add the HDR 1800 to Nextiva VMS, you must assign a static IP address to the HDR 1800 in
Nextiva VMS Control Center (see
Configuring Network Settings
on
page 5
).
Once the HDR 1800 powers up, you discover it in Nextiva VMS Control Center and configure its network and
monitor output settings.
Discovering the HDR 1800 in Nextiva VMS
Nextiva VMS, version 6.1 Roll-up 4, includes the HDR 1800 Service Generator in Nextiva Control Center. The
HDR 1800 Service Generator interfaces with HDR 1800s installed on the Nextiva network. Before you can use
an HDR 1800 with Nextiva VMS, you must discover it using the HDR 1800 Service Generator.
To discover the HDR 1800:
1. Launch Nextiva Control Center.
2. Select Global Settings > Adaptors.
3. Click HDR 1800 Service Generator on the left. The HDR 1800 Service Generator Browser pane is
displayed on the right.
The HDR 1800 Service Generator Browser pane displays general information for discovered HDR 1800s,
including the current configuration state of the unit: Partially Discovered, Fully Discovered, Configured, or
Foreign State. Once an HDR 1800 is discovered, you configure its network and monitor output settings.
Configuring Network Settings
Before you can add an HDR 1800 to Nextiva VMS you must configure its network settings, such as specifying
a static IP address for the HDR 1800, and providing the subnet mask and gateway.
To configure network settings for the HDR 1800:
1. In the HDR 1800 Service Generator Browser pane,
select a Partially Discovered HDR 1800 that you
want to configure. The configuration parameters
for the HDR 1800 appear directly below the HDR
1800 Service Generator Browser pane.
2. Select the Network tab.
3. Type a static IP address for the HDR 1800 in the IP
Address box.
4. In the Subnet Mask box, type the subnet mask for
the subnet the HDR 1800 is located on.
5. Type the IP address of the server that acts as the
access point to another network in the Gateway IP
Address box. The gateway IP address is optional.
6. Click Apply to save the configuration settings.
