2.2 Initializing the Multiplexer
NOTE: The system will not be able to operate properly unless the next step is completed on the LTC 2682/90
multiplexer.
Before the multiplexer can be used with the System4 Server PC, you must configure it. This is easily done using the
LTC 2682/90 multiplexer's (Version 3.03 or later) on-screen menus (if your multiplexer does not have firmware
Version 3.03 or later, it will need to be upgraded before it can be used with the System4 Server). With a standard
monitor connected to the MON A output of the System4 multiplexer, press ALT + menu (i.e., the ACT key) to enter
the on-screen menu. Once there, use front panel arrow controls to select the Advanced Menu. In the Advanced
Menu, scroll down the list until you reach the Remote System4 Setup option. By default, the setup option will always
appear as No. Select Yes, then confirm your choice. The system will briefly reset, and then it will be ready to accept
System4 Server commands.
2.3 Initializing the Configuration Software
When you turn on the System4 Server PC for the first time, it will automatically boot into the Windows
desktop
®
and run the configuration software. If the boot-up process stops at the Windows
log-in screen, verify/enter the user
®
name Administrator, leave password blank, and click OK to continue. From the desktop, you can also start the
configuration software program by double clicking the System4 Server icon.
When the Configuration Software program first begins to run, the System4 Remote Viewer software will
automatically start on the server and be minimized to the system tray by default. To view, press the Windows button
on the keyboard while the System4 is running, and double click the System4 icon in the system tray (status bar at
bottom of screen). When this window appears, you can minimize it if you will be using the Remote Viewer software
on a remote PC, or close it if you will not being using remote access.
When you see the Configuration Software's Enter Password window as shown below, enter administrator for User
and letmein for Password. The software then scans for connected cameras and opens up to the Monitor page.
NOTE: After initial system startup, be sure to change (customize) your user ID and password immediately. Refer to
Section 3 for complete instructions on how to accomplish this.
CAUTION: Your System4 Server PC has some of the same capabilities as a regular personal computer. However, it
is recommended that you DO NOT use your System4 Server PC for anything other than operating the System4
Server Configuration software. Changing software or hardware setups of the operating system could damage the
System4 Server's intended functionality. Refer to the information on Security Features in the following section for
additional information.
