Johnson Controls Tyco exacqVision 2UA Quick Start Manual

A-Series 2UA/F2A Hybrid Quick Start Guide
Introduction
The exacqVision A-Series is part of exacqVision's series of network video recorders (NVR). The exacqVision A-Series Hybrid, 2UA and F2A provide
high performance hardware with an exacqVision surveillance video management software. The F2A hybrid model features greater storage
capacity and an optional RAID 5 disk configuration.
Installation
Before turning on the exacqVision A-Series server, ensure that you meet the following requirements.
Mounting and operating environment requirements
• Mount the exacqVision server in a dust-free, and climate controlled location where the temperature is less than 70°F, and the humidity level is
less than 80% non-condensing.
CAUTION: Dust can cause components of the server to overheat, and elevated temperatures can contribute to premature hard drive
failures.
• If the hard drives dispatch separately to the system, insert each drive into the appropriate hard drive slot, if they are numbered.
• If you use an outdoor camera, the server must connect permanently to the ground wire. Ensure that you use an 18 AWG wire or larger to
make the connection, and that you label the grounding screw near the power connector with the grounding wire image
Electrical environment requirements
• For maximum reliability, connect the exacqVision server to an online uninterrupted power supply (UPS). An online UPS, filters power surges
and dips that can damage the server.
• Connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the server.
• Connect the exacqVision server network interface cards (NIC) to the appropriate network switch ports.
• It is recommend to use cables with a ferrite core for connecting to monitors. If the cable does not have a ferrite core, the unit still performs as
expected but may not meet CE safety regulation standards.
Network connection requirements
• If the video surveillance system does not have a physically isolated network, connect all IP cameras and one server NIC to a dedicated camera
VLAN.
• Install the camera manufacturer's software on a PC in this subnet, or configure the router to connect a client computer with the camera
subnet. For information on how to configure the network, see
• This VLAN configuration reduces the chances of network traffic conflicts and unauthorized access to the cameras.
Initial startup
When you start the exacqVision A-Series server for the first time, create a user name and password for the operating system, then create a root
user name and password for the Enterprise Manager.
1. Turn on the exacqVision server.
2. Create a user name and password for the operating system when the logon dialog box appears.Configure operating system settings as
required.
3. If prompted, log back on to the operating system with the user name and password you just created.
4. When you log back on, an exacqVision dialog box appears on the desktop. Create the exacqVision admin user name and password.
Note: This is not the same as the credentials you created to log on to the operating system. Use these credentials to log on to the
exacqVision Server.
