Chapter 1: Introducing Your New N6123 NVR Chapter 1: Introducing Your New N6123 NVR Product Overview The NMX-NVR-N6123 is a network video recorder (NVR) designed to record hours of high-resolution, HD content over an Ethernet LAN. This rack-mount NVR is compatible with all SVSI video-over-IP products and attaches to the video network at any point. The unit records from any N-Series Encoder, and then uses any Decoder (of that same N-Series) for playback. - Page 7 Chapter 1: Introducing Your New N6123 NVR 1) USB Ports 2) Factory DVI Diagnostic Port 3) RJ45 Auto-Sensing Gigabit Ethernet Switch Port 4) Power Input 5) Power On/Off Switch Rear Panel FIG. 2 Front and Rear Panel Descriptions TABLE 1 Front Panel ON/OFF button Press to turn unit on or off.

Page 10: Setting Up Your Host Computer
Chapter 2: Installing and Configuring the NVR Setting Up Your Host Computer In order to communicate with SVSI products, your devices must be on the same subnet as the host computer. N6123 devices are shipped in DHCP mode. The IP address will be assigned automatically based on the network DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found, the unit will switch to Auto IP mode with a default IP address of 169.254.xxx.xxx. - Page 11 Chapter 2: Installing and Configuring the NVR Scroll down in the list to the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) option. Highlight it and click the Properties button. Enable the Use the following IP address option, and enter the static IP address provided to you by your network administrator.

Chapter 2: Installing and Configuring the NVR Communicating With the NVR As you will see later in this chapter, most of the common functions (creating recordings, converting files, etc.) and settings can be controlled under the NVR tab in N-Able. However, there are some more advanced settings that you will need to access via the N6123’s separate web interface configuration pages. - Page 13 Chapter 2: Installing and Configuring the NVR If prompted, enter admin and password for the default username and password. Once logged in, you can change the password (using the options on the unit’s Settings page).
