Initial Set-Up - Viking X-205 Series Product Manual

Install and run the X-Series Discovery Utility software. X-205 units on the same LAN will show up with
their IP addresses. Double-click on a unit to open the Web UI in your default browser. Once your IP
address is known, you can open the Web UI in a smartphone browser.
Install the unit using Cat 5e (or greater) Ethernet cable. The X-205 is PoE powered (class 2). We suggest a
STEP 1
managed PoE switch, but it is not required. A PoE injector is acceptable.
After the unit is powered, it will boot up (30 to 45 seconds). The unit will then listen to discovery messages
STEP 2
from the X-Series Discovery Utility or from an Onvif compliant NVR.
Download and run the X-Series Discovery Utility. Any X-205 devices on your LAN should be displayed.
Simply double-click on the unit's name/address in the Discovery window to open the Web UI. Alternatively, if
STEP 3
the IP address of the X-205 is known, type it in the address bar of your browser to access it (defaults to
https://X35's IPADDRESS).
If you do not want to install/run the X-Series Discovery Utility, the Web UI can also be accessed via IP
STEP 4 address or "Hostname".local on your LAN. The default Hostname is the unit's MAC address without the ":"
separators (e.g. HTTPS://18e80f508bda.local).
If a unit cannot be accessed (example: set to a Static IP that is not available), a hard reset can be performed
STEP 5
to reset all settings to defaults (unit will start out as DHCP).
To reset the unit, hold down the call button on the front panel while cycling power. The unit will beep 2 times,
then flash the LED for about 10 seconds and then beep four times. Release the button within 3 seconds of the
STEP 6
4 beeps. The unit will reboot itself and come back up with factory defaults settings. Note that this reboot takes
30-60 seconds.
