Step 2: Connect the E3200 PSA to the Network
Note the following points:
1. This is a setup procedure to configure basic system settings such as a computer name, IP
address, time and time zone. Video management settings will be configured by Symphony
Client.
2. Initial setup does NOT require a monitor, keyboard or mouse to be attached to the E3200
PSA
. The VGA and DVI-D ports are for troubleshooting only.
3. The
E3200 PSA will be configured using your Web browser once connected to your network.
Using LAN1 or LAN1 & LAN2
The E3200 PSA may be connected to a single network containing IP cameras and client computers. You
may use either the LAN1 or the LAN2 ports on the back panel. For convenience this guide will assume
LAN1 is used.
Figure 4: One network in use

Connect the E3200 PSA to the Network 6
English
The E3200 PSA may also be connected to two networks by using both the LAN1 and LAN2 ports on the
back panel. Using two separate networks could be required if the video traffic must be isolated from the
corporate network. The video will only traverse the corporate network if a user wishes to see video. Oth-
erwise no video will traverse the two networks. Figure 5 shows a typical network layout when two net-
works are in use. It shows cameras are on a separate network from clients. This is not essential. They may
be mixed across two networks.
LAN1 and LAN2 may be used interchangeably.
Figure 5: Two networks in use
Never connect the LAN1 and LAN2 ports to the same network.
Figure 6: Do NOT connect LAN1 and LAN2 to the same network

English
To perform initial setup:
1. Connect the E3200 PSA to the network with a twisted-pair cat.5 or cat.6 cable using LAN1 on
the back panel.
2. Connect the power adapter to the E3200 PSA and press the power button on the front panel.
The power button will light up green and the hard disk activity indicator will flash as it boots.
3. Connect your computer to the network.
Ensure DHCP is enabled on your networking
adapter.

• If a DHCP server is available on the network, the E3200 PSA will obtain an
IP address automatically.
• If no DHCP server is available, the E3200 PSA will assign itself an IP
address automatically using automatic private IP addressing. The E3200
PSA
will be set to 169.254.x.y (where x.y is the device’s unique identifier)
with a
subnet of 255.255.0.0 .

Network Connection
By default the E3200 PSA is configured to use DHCP to obtain an IP address. When a DHCP server is
unavailable, it will automatically select an
IP Address in the range 169.254.X.X and a Subnet Mask of
255.255.0.0.
• If the network does not have a DHCP server, or you want precise control over the IP address
used, you may assign a specific IP address. Go to
“IP Address” on page 14
• If the network does not have a DHCP server, or you want precise control over the DNS servers
used, you may assign specific DNS servers. Go to
“DNS Servers” on page 15

IP Address
To assign a specific IP address:
1. Clear the Obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP check box.
2. Enter the address in the
IP Address field.
3. Enter a value in the
Subnet Mask field.
Warning : If the IP address you select is in a different subnet from the computer you are using, you will
lose access to the
E3200 PSA after saving your changes.

DNS Servers
A DNS server may be used by the Aimetis Symphony Server installed on the
E3200 PSA . A DNS server
is only necessary when the
E3200 PSA is connected to the Internet and a specific setting within Sym-
phony uses a domain name. A common use of a domain name would be to identify an email server. Aime-
tis Symphony can use an email server to send an email as an alarm action.
To assign specific DNS servers:
1. Clear the Obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP check box.
2. Enter a DNS server address in the
Preferred DNS Server field.
3. (Optional) Enter a DNS server address in the
Alternate DNS Server field.
