1. System Introduction
The DeryTech Shepherd represents an all new, high performance, cost effective digital based wireless surveillance
camera transmission system. Offering exceptional bandwidth and serial data transmission, the Shepherd brings a
wireless capability to all traditional fixed cameras and supplies built-in remote control to PTZ dome cameras, providing
a first-rate solution for remote and hard-to-reach camera locations.
The Shepherd uses the latest digital wireless OFDM modulation in the less crowded (and unlicensed) 5GHz radio
band, providing transmission rates that significantly reduce signal interference and, being full-duplex, supplying a very
stable wireless link, which, combined with our image processing software, delivers hi-definition, full-motion, no-ripple
video up to 10 Km line-of-sight. Furthermore, the Shepherd offers considerably improved data security via either AES
or RC4 key encryption when used in conjunction with our proprietary MagicLink software, and it’s bi-directional,
full-duplex digital transmission allows the system to provide full joystick remote control of RS485 based PTZ cameras.
The Shepherd has also been designed for ease-of-use and flexibility. The MagicLink software makes configuring the
Shepherd a quick and simple task, allowing for the selection of personalized encryption keys, the setting-up of the PTZ
interface and a choice of transmission ranges for improved image quality. Where transmission of over 10 kilometers is
required or the signal path needs to change direction, two or more Shepherds can be connected in series using the
Repeater Mode. The Shepherd is also set-up to support Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for an AC
power supply and associated cabling, making installation easier and cheaper.
Overall, the Shepherd provides a versatile, all-in-one wireless transmission solution for CCTV and traffic surveillance
needs, offering superb performance in all environments and weather conditions, and providing integrators and
installers with a system that is easy to set-up, simple to install and straight-forward to operate, whilst offering time and
money saving flexibility.

3. System Setup and Configuration
The Shepherd operates as a totally independent system and does not need to cooperate with other network systems.
Therefore, if all the Transmitter and Receiver default settings are to be used (for default settings, see Configuration
Settings on page 30), the system can be installed as a simple plug-and-play solution. However, we recommend that,
for security reasons, every Shepherd system is configured with its own unique security settings (using the MagicLink
software), and, if 2 or more Shepherd systems are used in a single area, it is vital that each be configured with its own
Data Encrypt Key and Connection ID.
To re-configure any of the default settings on the Shepherd, the MagicLink software should first be installed onto a
Windows-based PC or Notebook and then the system settings of the Transmitter and Receiver changed.
3.1 Installing MagicLink
MagicLink software allows users to re-configure the Shepherd via any Windows-based PC or Notebook. This section
describes how to install MagicLink to your PC.
1. Insert the MagicLink Installation CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM drive. Run the SETUP.EXE program
from the CD-ROM. The following window will appear:
