  • Page 9: Nvr-As Power Off Sequence

    NVR-AS Power Off Sequence 1 To disconnect the device, press the Suspend/Resume button on the front, or click the Shutdown button on the Diagnostics web page. 2 Wait for both the CPU and Alarm LEDs on the front panel to change from solid on, to flashing.
  • Page 10 • Removing evidence of an incident You may need to remove a disk containing footage of an incident that has occurred for evidential purposes, and replace it to continue normal recording. Before removing the disk, you should ensure that all recordings on the disk are protected (see “Protecting Recordings”...
  • Page 11: Configuration

    Configuration You can configure your NVR-AS using the Web Configuration pages or a serial connection. Default IP Properties The NVR-AS devices are programmed with the default IP properties listed in step Table 1. Table 1 Default IP Properties Initial Configuration IP Address 10.5.1.10 Subnet Mask...
  • Page 12 Step 1: Preparing an Isolated Network Connect your NVR-AS and the PC you are using to configure it on their own isolated network. To do this, connect the unit to the PC using an Ethernet crossover cable (see Figure 1.) You can use either the Port 1 or Port 2 Ethernet interface for the connection.
  • Page 13 Step 2: Preparing PC for Initial Device Configuration Each NVR-AS is supplied with the data IP address set to 10.5.1.10 and the subnet mask set to 255.0.0.0. You cannot connect the devices to your network until you have changed these settings to suit your network. To change the default IP addresses of the NVR-AS, you must first (temporarily) modify your PC’s network settings.
  • Page 14 3 Right-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and select Properties. Figure 4 Internet Protocol Properties dialog 4 Set the IP address to an address close to the factory IP address, for example, 10.5.1.2 and change the PC’s subnet mask to 255.0.0.0 (the same as the factory default). 5 Click OK, then OK again.
  • Page 15 3 The Web Configuration Home page opens. Figure 5 Web Configuration Home page 4 Click the Network in the menu on the left of the web page. Figure 6 Web Configuration Network page...
  • Page 16 5 Configure the device as required using the following fields: • Host Name — Enter a name for the NVR-AS. • Location — Enter a location to identify the device. • IP Address — Enter the device’s IP address. • Subnet Mask —...
  • Page 17 • Recording Stream — Select the stream you want to use for recording. This is then used for all recording jobs on this NVR-AS. When you have configured the device as required, click Submit to apply the changes to the device. You are now ready to take the device off the isolated network and connect it to the main network.
  • Page 18: Using The Serial Port Connection

    Using the Serial Port Connection To configure your NVR-AS using the serial port, you require an RS232 serial cable. 1 Connect the serial cable between the NVR-AS and the PC as shown in Figure 7. Console Port NVR-AS Serial cable Figure 7 Serial port connection 2 On the PC, use a Terminal Emulation program such as Windows HyperTerminal and set the serial port parameters...
  • Page 19 The following settings are available: • IP Address — Enter the device’s IP address • Subnet Mask — Enter the device’s IP network subnet mask. • Gateway — Enter the appropriate default gateway for remote network access: this is only required if the devices are to be accessed from a different subnet.
  • Page 20: Attaching The Device To The Network

    Attaching the Device to the Network After configuring the IP settings, connect it to the network. 1 Reconnect your PC to the network. 2 Use a standard RJ45 connector and CAT5 cable to connect to the ports on the rear of the device, as shown in Figure 8. Console Port NVR-AS Power Supply...

  • Page 23: Port 1 / Port 2 Network Connector

    At the rear of the unit, there are ports to connect to the following: • Power • Port 1 network connector • Port 2 network connector • Serial RS-232 console port Port 1 / Port 2 Network Connector These port network connectors are RJ-45 connectors. These interfaces can be set to use fixed 100Mbps Half Duplex, 100Mbps Full Duplex, 1Gbps Full Duplex link, or can be set to auto-negotiate.
  • Page 24: Power

    Power The power inlet is a keyed two-pin interface which mates with the power supply unit supplied. Removable Disk Hardware The NVR-AS uses a 3.5“ SATA disk in a removable drive enclosure. Caution: If you start the NVR-AS with no disk, the NVR-AS will start in the suspended state (CPU and Alarm LEDs flashing).
  • Page 25: Using The Removable Disk

    Disks are not field replaceable. Faulty disks must be returned to IndigoVision as part of a caddy assembly. Individual disk and caddy assemblies required as spares or replacements can be ordered from IndigoVision.
  • Page 26 To replace the disk: 1 Press the Suspend/Resume button, or click the Shutdown button in the Diagnostics web page once to suspend the NVR-AS. The CPU and alarm LEDs both light solid red to indicate that the device is suspending. Once it is suspended, the CPU and alarm LEDs both flash together.

  • Page 29: Playing Back Recordings From An Archive Disk

    Playing Back Recordings from an Archive Disk You may need to review old recordings stored on an archive disk. Warning: If you are using a single NVR-AS to record footage and to play back archived data, you must ensure that there are no active recording jobs or event filters on the NVR-AS and that time-based deletion of recordings (time and space reaping) is disabled (that...
  • Page 30: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting The following section describes actions that may be necessary when troubleshooting. Checking a Disk To check the integrity of the file structure contained on the current disk: 1 Open a DOS prompt. 2 Type telnet IP address 3 Log in as root, with password admin. (If you have set a password to allow web access, use this instead of admin.) 4 Type diskcheck.
