of HDMI and VGA signal, please use high quality cable, Inferior cable may
seriously affect the signal quality, transmission distance, and even lead
to the device is not workingproperly.
Connect internet
（1）connection：
Connect one end of the network cable to the encoder 10/100M Ethernet interface. The
other end is connected to the network switch, also can be directly connected to the
computer's Ethernet port.
Please note: when use the normal network cable connect directly to the
computer's Ethernet port, the computer network port should has the
automatic transfer line function. Otherwise, please use a crossover cable to connect.
Test found that some small home network switches is not support
well for a large number of continuous video encoder data. It will lead to
network packet loss , video mosaics, video stagnation or no images.

Connect analog audio input/out put(option)
Connect RS-485 Controlline (Option）
The encoder supports the RS-485 control interface. RS-485 can be used to control the
camera (PTZ) and other industrial equipment, and be paired with decoder to achieve
the remote transparent transmission RS-485 signals.
RS-485 also can be connected to a RS-422 reception / transmission terminal.
However, the specific electrical characteristics should be according to the
practical application of restrictions on the scene to customize.
RS-485 can be do not connect to ground. However the signal transmission quality,
anti-interference ability will be improved after connecting the ground .

You can log in WEB management interface to changethe
Via WEB browser log in management interface
Before log in the encoder Web management interface, please ensure that the
following network condition is connected:
* your computer is connected with encoder correctly；
* Insure set your computer IP address and the IP address of the encoder in
same network segment；
* try using PING and other network testing tools to identify and insure
be communicated with the encoder based on TCP / IPprotocol.
After reaching the above condition, use a Web browser to access the following
address：
http://<device IP address>
For example, if the factory default IP address is 192.168.1.168 ，then access
the
following address：http://192.168.1.168 ，then the authentication dialog box
will appears.

The encoder supports HDMI AES / EBU audio, and also supports dual-channel analog
audio (Line-in) input. The audio of collection encoding can be selected between HDMI
or Line-in audio AES/EBU audio.
If you want to select HDMI AES / EBU audio as audio source, could by K1, K2, K3 Dip
setting. Please check DIP switch setting table to check the detail information.
After switching the audio source, the encoder will quickly reset (currently
connect decoder will be disconnected), this process takes about 3 seconds.

How does RTSP of encoder to visit URL：
ONVIF support
The encoder supports ONVIF 1.1/2.0 standards. Follow ONVIF standard, the device
supports automatic detection, supports media description and RTSP media obtain,
supports parameter setting as well as device(PTZ) remote control functions.
Set system time
The encoder built in RTC clock, which can maintain system time under power off.
When you use the encoder at first time, you need to manually calibrate the system
time; In additional, as the errors of RTC clock system in every time (3-6 months), the
clock will have a few seconds of error, so may need to calibrate time again.
Select the "Basic Settings> Location & Time "to calibrate the time
The method of calibration the time：
