10- Initial Configuration
1- Assign a Static IP address
By default the Encoder will receive an IP address via DHCP; however, it is recommended that the Encoder is assigned a
static IP address, and given a 4 digit port. Using a static IP address ensures that the address will not change due to
changes to the router.
Note: The static IP used should be outside the DHCP range of the router to avoid conflicts with other devices on
the network.
A.
Open the IP Installer, and select the Encoder from the list of devices. The Encoder name will highlight Blue in the list.
B.
Select Static at the top of the right side column. This will allow for manual entry of the network configuration settings.
C. Enter the IP address issued by the network admin.
D. Enter the Net Mask assigned by the network admin.
E.
Enter the default Gateway assigned by the network admin.
F.
Enter the DNS 1 address assigned by the network admin.
G. Enter the DNS 2 address assigned by the network admin. If only 1 DNS address is used, this must be "0.0.0.0".
Note: Any data displayed in these fields should be replaced with information obtained from the network admin to
ensure they are set properly.
H. Assign a name to the Encoder that will identify it easily when using the IP Installer or configuring a Wirepath™ NVR, and
for recordings, or captured images.
Example: FrontDoor1
2- Enter a Port to uniquely identify and remotely access the Encoder.
Recommended Port Numbering
Each Encoder must have a unique port number for Remote Access from outside the local network. To make port
numbering consistent, and easy to remember we recommend that the ports be 4 digits, and contain the IP address of
the Encoder starting with 8.
Example:
IP Address
192.168.1.050
192.168.1.100
3- Verify Access through the Main Encoder Interface
Once the IP Address has been set, the Encoder can be accessed through the web browser. Note that on initial access to
each Encoder, ActiveX controls will need to be installed on each PC that is used to access the Encoder.
See section
4- Update to the Latest Firmware
While the Encoder is shipped with the latest firmware available at the time, newer firmware may be available with
improvements.
Recommendation: We recommend that you check for the latest firmware version on www.SnapAV.com and update if
needed before proceeding. See step
5- Configure the Date and Time
To ensure that recordings and photos are accurately time stamped, the Date and Time of the Encoder need to be set to the
correct time for the location of the Encoder.
See section
A.
Select Config Button in the upper right hand corner of the Main Encoder Interface.
B.
Select System Information in the left side menu.
Tip: Using an NTP server, and setting the time zone, and enabling DST is the best method for maintaining accurate
time. We recommend that pool.ntp.org is used as it pulls time from a range of time servers that provide backup to
each other in the event of server outage.
