Information About the EVM-IPVS-16A Network Module
The EVM-IPVS-16A network module enables Cisco integrated services routers to capture analog video
signals. The EVM-IPVS-16A network module supports up to 16 simultaneous composite video inputs,
such as video surveillance cameras. The EVM-IPVS-16A network module also provides alarm input
detection, control relay outputs, and RS-485 serial communication interfaces. Figure 1 shows the
EVM-IPVS-16A network module faceplate.
Note You need a router that supports the EVM-IPVS-16A network module. For a list of supported platforms,
see the Cisco Analog Video Gateway Network Module (EVM-IPVS-16A) Data Sheet.

RS-485 Serial Communication Interfaces
The EVM-IPVS-16A network module supports a half-duplex, two-wire RS-485 communication
network, which sometimes is called a ring. The EIA/TIA RS-485 communications standard supports up
to 32 devices (driver/receiver pairs) on a cable of up to 4,000 feet. The EVM-IPVS-16A network module
has two RS-485 ports, supporting up to 64 devices. The EVM-IPVS-16A network module typically acts
as the master for each of the two RS-485 networks.
The RS-485 ports can be used to control camera pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) functions, as well as other
RS-485 devices. Because PTZ camera types use different protocols, the EVM-IPVS-16A network
module only supports pass-through mode. In pass-through mode PTZ commands and other data will not
be interpreted.
Alarm Inputs and Control Relay Outputs
The EVM-IPVS-16A network module supports eight contact closure interfaces. Interfaces A0, A1, A2,
and A3 can be configured as alarm input or relay output, the other interfaces are input only. They are
used to detect contact trigger events and control external devices.
In most cases, the contact closure interfaces will be connected to a patch panel through the two terminal
block ports on the network module. The patch panel can provide the bias to the circuit.
Caution The alarm signal input and output (I/O) connections on this unit are intended only for connection to
NEC/CEC Class 2 or equivalent circuit. This means that the voltages applied to alarm signal I/O
connections should not exceed 42.4 Vpk or 60 Vdc and it should be a limited/fused power source. For
more details on Class 2 circuits, refer to the National Electrical Code/Canadian Electrical Code.
Gigabit Ethernet Port
The external Gigabit Ethernet port is disabled by default. If you enable the Gigabit Ethernet interface, it
can act as a routable interface in your network.

Specification Range
Alarm Input Sense Voltage Range 12 V to 24 V
Alarm Output Current Load Range 0 mA to 170 mA

information about which slots support extension modules, see Table 1-1 on page 5
Wiring the Terminal Block Connectors
Wire the provided terminal block connectors using the pinout information provided in Table 4. (See
Figure 4.)
Note The wires used to connect to the terminal block are required to be between 26 AWG and 18 AWG.
Figure 4 Wiring the Terminal Block Connectors
Table 4 lists each pin on the terminal block, and the corresponding port information.
Tip When you wire the terminal block connector, label each wire with the pin number, so you can easily
connect the wires to the alarm or RS-485 devices in your network.

Note In Table 4 a plus (+) sign and minus (–) sign are used to note the polarity for the contact closure and
RS-485 ports. For contact closure ports, pins noted with a plus sign must be connected to positive
potential; pins noted with a minus sign must be connected to negative potential. For RS-485 ports, pins
noted with a plus sign must be connected to an RS-485 device non-inverting terminal; pins noted with a
minus sign must be connected to an RS-485 device inverting terminal.

This section describes how to connect the EVM-IPVS-16A network module to devices in the video
surveillance network.
Note If an installation technician has already connected the EVM-IPVS-16A to the devices in your network,
then do not perform this task. Instead, proceed directly to the software configuration for your
EVM-IPVS-16A network module. See the Cisco Analog Video Gateway 1.0 Installation and Upgrade
Guide at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/cavg/cavginstall/cavginstall.html
Prerequisites
•Install the EVM-IPVS-16A network module in the router chassis. See the Installing Cisco Network
Modules in Cisco Access Routers guide at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/interfaces/nm/hardware/installation/guide/InstNe
tM.html
•Wire the provided terminal block connectors. See the “Wiring the Terminal Block Connectors”
section on page 6.
Steps
To connect the EVM-IPVS-16A network module to the network, follow these steps:
Step 1 Take the DB-37 end of the provided DB-37 to BNC video breakout cable, and connect it to the VIDEO
connector on the EVM-IPVS-16A network module.

and local codes. Statement 374
Step 2 Connect the BNC ends of the video breakout cable to the cameras in your network. The cable ends are
labeled with the corresponding port number (0-15).
Step 3 After you have wired the provided terminal block connectors according to the pinout information
provided in Table 4, connect the terminal block connectors to the terminal block on the EVM-IPVS-16A
network module and tighten the screws using a small slotted screwdriver.

Step 4 Connect the other end of the wired terminal block connectors to the RS-485 and contact closure devices
in your network. In most cases, the wires will be connected to a patch panel.
Step 5 (Optional) To connect the EVM-IPVS-16A network module to an external device, use a straight-through
two-pair Category 5e unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable, and connect the RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port
on the network module to a switch, hub, repeater, server, or other Gigabit Ethernet network device.
What to Do Next
Proceed to the software configuration for your EVM-IPVS-16A network module. See the Cisco Analog
Video Gateway 1.0 Installation and Upgrade Guide at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/cavg/cavginstall/cavginstall.html
Performing Online Insertion and Removal of the EVM-IPVS-16A Network
Module
The online insertion and removal (OIR) feature enables some Cisco modular access routers to support
the replacement of network modules without switching off the router or affecting the operation of other
interfaces. Also, routing information is maintained during OIR of network modules.
Note If your router does not support OIR, do not perform this task to replace your EVM-IPVS-16A network
module. Instead, see the Installing Cisco Network Modules in Cisco Access Routers guide at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/interfaces/nm/hardware/installation/guide/InstNetM.
html
Restrictions
•Only the Cisco 3845 router supports OIR of the EVM-IPVS-16A network module.
•All connections made through the EVM-IPVS-16A network module are reset during OIR.
•You must perform OIR with similar modules. If you remove a network module, install another
network module exactly like it in its place.
Steps
To perform OIR of the EVM-IPVS-16A network module in your router, follow these steps:
Step 1 Initiate a console session with your router.
Step 2 Enter configuration mode and shut down the interface:
Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface video-Service-Engine slot/0
Router(config-if)# shut
Router(config-if)# shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
