Introduction
Pilot Ultra XX189-00-XX
Networking Overview
Note: This section is an overview of networking parameters as they relate to the Pilot Ultra. You will find
detailed information in the Network Module section of this manual.
Video is not transmitted on the Ethernet cable. Standard video transmission media is required.
The Pilot Ultra incorporates network communication using a local area network (LAN). Using the network, you
can connect multiple V1599CPUs so that CCTV equipment connected to one V1599CDU may be controlled
by other V1599CPUs. You man also connect the CPUs to a wide area network (WAN). See Figure 2.
The V1599 system uses standard Internet Protocol (IP) addressing for network communication. Each device
(V1599CPU,
V1599CDU
, PC, printer, etc.) on a network must have a unique IP address. Devices in the V1599
system are identified by this IP address. The IP address is defined using the V1599 Configurator for
V1599CPUs and by setting DIP switches on the network card of the
V1599CDU
s. The 32-bit address format is
four numbers separated by periods, and each set of numbers must be in the range of 0 to 255. For
V1599CDU
s, the IP address is
192.168.xxx.yyy
where xxx and yyy are set using the two banks of DIP switches on the network card. Setting these DIP
switches is discussed in the Network Module section of this manual. The IP address of each network device
must be unique. If the
V1599CDU
IP address scheme of 192.168.xxx.yyy is not compatible with other devices,
then you must perform a procedure discussed in the Reference chapter to override the V1599 IP address
prefixes of 192.168 or change the IP addresses of the other devices and use the Vicon default scheme.
A second, common identifier is needed for all devices on the network. This identifier is known as a subnet
mask, and is the same for all devices on the network. The default
V1599CDU
subnet mask is:
255.255.255.0
If the V1599 system is expanded across a WAN, which will require the V1599 system to communicate across
networks, gateway addresses need to be defined. This gateway address provides entrance to another
network. Routers provide the gateway to other networks.
V1599CDU
s use a default gateway address of:
192.168.xxx.001
where the xxx portion of the address is defined using a DIP switch on the network card, discussed in the
Network Module section of this manual. If the
V1599CDU
default gateway address scheme of 192.168.xxx.001
is not compatible with your network design, then you must perform a procedure discussed in the Network
Module section of this manual to override the
V1599CDU
default gateway of 192.168.xxx.001 or change the
addresses of the network routes and retain the Vicon default scheme.
