Receive From encoder: to camera: Ground 2.2.6.4 Known Incompatible Protocols The following data protocols are not supported by the KBC encoder/decoder: Sensornet • Biphase & Bilinx, other Bosch proprietary protocols • Kalatel protocols using RS-422. The system is compatible in RS-485 at 9600 •...
2.3.1 Product Default Configuration Settings 2.3.1.1 Operations Manual Defaults – Out of the Box Convenience Presets Prior to shipment from the KBC product warehouse KBC presets configurations for compatibility with other KBC products, these preset configurations are as follows: LAN/WAN IP Address 192.168.1.100...

The green LED on the front on the ENC-H-W* will illuminate if the encoder is connected to a valid network/Ethernet device. If connected to a switch or KBC WESII / MESHII system then a straight through cable is needed for this connection.

The KBC Encoder can also replace an SED series encoder and connect to an SED series decoder if applicable. If an SED series decoder is in use the easiest reconfiguration is to set the new encoder to the settings of the old SED series encoder which is no longer in use.

Note: If a connection to a KBC Decoder cannot be established in the field or on a network, KBC recommends a test with the encoder directly connected to its mate decoder using a crossover cable. If the two units are connected via an unmanaged switch then the interface screen can be accessed from a web browser in order to identify if a problem in configuration exists.
Ethernet connection such as the KBC WESII series products. The web browser GUI is accessible via a computer set to the same static subnet as the encoder. See section 3.1.1.1 below to ensure that your computer Operating System is supported.
Configuration Detail Click pull down menu to show streaming options. Select MPEG4 if connecting to a KBC MPEG4 Decoder. There is no need to apply or save/reboot as this selection will apply automatically and will remain the selected streaming type until changed here later.

3.3.12.2 Static IP Address KBC recommends selecting a static IP on the network. Advise the network administrator for available static IP addresses prior to configuring the encoder on the local network. The Gateway IP must be on the same subnet as the IP address. If the subnet mask is changed from the default configuration, ensure that your computer is set within the scope of the filter (mask) configured.

The redacted display will also be presented on the video output when connected to a KBC Decoder. When the OSD is selected, the format parameters must match the format notice. At that point whatever is written into the “pre-defined text”...

You will require the images and md5 files in order to successfully upgrade firmware. These files must be obtained from KBC and saved in an accessible place to locate from the “Browse” button. Browse and locate then click “Apply”.
Always protect the cabling from sources of potential harmful voltage surges. 4.3 Video Related Problems If the encoder connects to a KBC Decoder which is not displaying a video output, the following steps can be followed to check the encoder side of the link: 4.3.1 Check Camera Output If there is a problem with the composite video output, the decoder will display the same error message as if the link between the two devices was not established.
