Important: To avoid networking problems, use only network switches recommended by Avigilon. Connect the encoder to the same network as the NVR running the Avigilon Control Center software. The encoder will automatically obtain an IP address and will be detected by the software.
When the encoder’s IP address is set using Zeroconf, its IP address is in the 169.254.* subnet. The encoder can be set to a static IP address from the Avigilon Control Center software. Consult the software user guide for details.
Advanced Features Upgrading the Firmware The encoder’s firmware can be field-upgraded via the Avigilon Control Center software. Consult the software user guide for details on how to perform a firmware upgrade. It is possible for the encoder’s firmware to become corrupted during an upgrade (for instance, if power is lost during the upgrade process).
Connecting to External Devices The encoder can be connected to external devices through the I/O terminal on the rear of the encoder. The pinout for the I/O terminal is shown in the table below. Consult the software user guide for details on how configure the I/O. Table: External I/O Terminals Pin Function Description...
