    SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP DC12V Power LAN and power connections  Overvoltage and overcurrent will cause severe damage to the encoder. CAUTION 2.5 Install IPAdmin Tool The IPAdmin Tool, included on the CD mini disk, is a utility that will discover cameras and encoders installed on your network and enable you to perform the initial network setup for each.

  • Page 14: Configure The Encoder Network Settings

    (fixed, unchanging) settings, your encoder must be configured with static network settings that are compatible with the network configuration. Additionally, if DHCP is not used on your network, DIGIOP™ Black encoders must be installed on the network and configured with new network settings one at a time to avoid addressing conflicts.
  • Page 15 SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP Check the list of devices found by IPAdmin Tool. You can identify your encoder by the MAC addresses. The MAC addresses are assigned during manufacture and can be found on the label on the underside of the unit. In this example, the IP addresses were acquired through DHCP.
  • Page 16 SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP Static Option In the IP Setup window, click the Static option bullet to select this option. If you have other compatible network settings you want to apply to the device, enter them in the appropriate locations. Click Setup to save settings, then click OK to confirm the change to network settings.

  • Page 17: Configuring Encoders On Networks Without Dhcp

    SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP 2.6.2 Configuring encoders on networks without DHCP Encoders installed on a network without a DHCP server will initially use the factory default static network settings for each IP channel: IP address: 192.168.0.100 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.0.1 In networks without a DHCP server, encoders must be powered on and reconfigured one at a time to avoid addressing conflicts...
  • Page 18 SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway for your PC’s Ethernet adapter into Table 1. The Ethernet adapter data you see by using ipconfig will probably be different from that shown in the example above. NOTE If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, the IP address is identified as the “IPv4 Address.”...
  • Page 19 Check LAN for default IP address compatibility Because all DIGIOP™ Black encoders and encoders are factory configured with the static IP address 192.168.0.100, check the LAN before connecting your encoder to ensure that network conflicts with existing devices won’t occur.
  • Page 20 SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP The “Request timed out” response indicates that the IP address is not in use and the encoder can be connected without causing errors. Attach your encoder to the network and power it on Apply power to the encoder. When the encoder powers on, it performs an internal initialization, then establishes a connection to the LAN.
