INTRODUCTION About This Manual This User Manual provides information on network part of IP Camera, VDA110S. In this guide, information on operation and configuration of VDA110S is explained as well as how to shoot troubles when problems arise. Features VDA110S is a video and audio surveillance transmission system based on IP network through LAN, ADSL/VDSL, and Wireless LAN.
INTRODUCTION System Connections VDA110S systems can be connected in either 1-to-1 fashion where a server is connected a PC client or a decoder system or 1-to-multiple fashion where a server can be simultaneously connected to many PC and many decoder systems.
Page 5
INTRODUCTION Multicast Mode Within the network that supports multicasting, a large number of decoders can be used to receive video effectively from a VDA110S using a single streaming of video and audio. Relaying Site Decoder Decoder Remote Center #1 Remote Center #2 VDA110S In this arrangement, video and audio can be retransmitted from a center to another center.
SYSTEM OPERATION Remote Video Monitoring There are two ways to view video between the site and center system. In order for a proper operation, an IP address must be set accordingly and please refer to True Manager in Chapter 3 or Remote Setting in Chapter 4 for a further details.
SYSTEM OPERATION Initialization of IP Address If a system IP address is lost, the system can be reset to the system default IP address using the reset button in the back side of the system. ① While system is in operation, press the reset button for more than 5 seconds. ②...
USING TRUEMANAGER True Manager Software True Manager is a program used for basic configuration, diagnostics and F/W upgrade of VDA110S. True Manager provides the following features. Finding servers on the LAN and assigning IP address Monitoring server status: encoding/decoding etc. ...
Page 10
USING TRUEMANAGER If the server is registered on DDNS server, domain name can be used instead of IP address. When the IP address of the server is forgotten, it is possible to find the IP address of the server with IP Discovery function. (Please refer to IP Discovery section).
Page 11
USING TRUEMANAGER IP Discovery With IP Discovery function, all servers on the same LAN where the PC executing True Manager is located can be found. Furthermore, it is possible to change IP address of a server easily. IP Discovery dialog is invoked by pressing IP Discovery button on Add Server dialog, and it shows all VDA110S on the same LAN.
USING TRUEMANAGER Server Connection Management Server connection If the check box on the first column in Servers (or Channels/Peripheral) tab, True Manager tries to connect to the server. If the server is running and the network where the server is in is normal, it will be connected immediately and State will be changed to Connected.
USING TRUEMANAGER USING TRUEMANAGER Server Status Monitoring Servers tab – General information Servers tab shows general information on a connected server: MAC address, product model, system mode(Type) F/W version and startup time. This information comes only for connected servers. ...
USING TRUEMANAGER Network and System Diagnostics True Manager provides various diagnostic features. Connection between two VDA110S, or between VDA110S and CMS(Central Monitoring System) is established. Video, audio or serial data are not delivered as configured. Video and/or audio outputs don‟t come on output port. ...

USING TRUEMANAGER Network test Network Test dialog is invoked by selecting Network Test on Tools menu. Network test can be used for measuring effective bandwidth and/or packet loss rate between a server and PC running True Manager by generating test traffic of constant bitrate. This feature is useful for identifying the reason why video quality comes poorer than expected.
Page 16
USING TRUEMANAGER System Check System Check tests if H/W components are fine and board ID and MAC address are displayed. Video Out Check / Display Color Bar It displays color bar on video output port. This function works for Decoder or Duplex mode, and is useful for checking if video output port or external display device is normal.
USING TRUEMANAGER F/W Upgrade When Update is selected on Tools menu, the dialog for F/W upgrade comes. ① Select a server to upgrade (check the check box in Sel column). More than one server can be upgraded simultaneously. ② Select an upgrade file. ③...
REMOTE CONFIGURATION Using Internet Explorer The server can be configured using web browser.

REMOTE CONFIGURATION Encoding Mode There are two encoding modes, Field Encoding and Frame Encoding. Since field encoding shows better quality of video, it is recommended to use field encoding mode as long as the decoder in the client can decode field encoded stream. In order to support clients which are able to decode frame encoded stream only, encoding has been made configurable.

REMOTE CONFIGURATION REMOTE CONFIGURATION When a decoder system instead of a PC client is connected to a VDA110S, one system becomes a Local system and the other becomes a Remote system (Generally a system which is being used by the user is called as Local system). Then, actions for events can be configured for events from remote system as well as from local system.
