Installing on a Network

Chapter 2 Installing on a Network
Through network connection, you can access the Web interface of the controller and
connect it to GV-ASManager for more comprehensive management. There are three ways
to set up the controller on network.
1. By default, when the controller is connected to a network with a DHCP server, a
dynamic IP address will be assigned to the controller. See 2.1 Checking the Dynamic IP
Address to look up its IP address.
2. When the DHCP server on your network is unavailable or disabled, the controller is
accessible by its default IP address 192.168.0.100. See 2.2 Configuring the Static IP
Address.
3. You may also use a DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) server to access the
controller. For details on domain name service, see 2.3 Configuring DDNS Connection.

4
2.1 Checking the Dynamic IP Address
Follow the steps below to look up the IP address and access the Web interface of the
controller.
1. Download and install GV-IP Device Utility from our website.
2. On the GV-IP Utility window, click the button to search for the IP devices connected
in the same LAN.
3. Click the Name or Mac Address column to sort.
4. Find the controller with its MAC address, click on its IP address and select Web Page.
Figure 2-1
5. When the login dialog box appears, type the default admin for both username and
password and click OK to log in.
Note: The PC installed with GV-IP Device Utility must be under the same LAN as the
controller you wish to configure.

2.2 Configuring the Static IP Address
By default, the controller uses a DHCP connection. However, you can follow the instructions
below to configure a static IP address.
1. Open an Internet browser, and type the default IP address https://192.168.0.100 or the
dynamic IP address. The login dialog box appears.
2. Type default value admin for both username and password, and click OK. This page
appears.
Figure 2-2
3. In the DHCP Client section, select Disable. Type the static IP address information,
including IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and Domain Name Server.
4. Click Submit. When the setting is complete, the Status field will indicate Register
Success. Then the controller can be accessed with this fixed IP address.
2.3 Configuring DDNS Connection
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) provides another way of accessing the controller
when using a dynamic IP. DDNS assigns a domain name to the controller, so GV-
ASManager can always access the controller by using a static domain name. The controller
supports two DDNS services: GeoVision DDNS Server and Dynamic Network Services Inc.
(DynDNS).

6
To enable the DDNS function, you first should register a domain name from one of the two
supported DDNS service provider’s websites.
Figure 2-3
2.3.1 Registering a DDNS Domain Name
To obtain a domain name from the GeoVision DDNS Server:
1. Click the GeoVision DDNS button on the Network Configuration page (Figure 2-2). Or
open an Internet browser, and type the Web address http://ns.gvdip.com/register.aspx.
The GV-Dynamic DNS Service V2 page appears.
Note:
1. Dynamic DNS uploads IP addresses over the Internet through ports 80 and 81. If your
controller is connected behind a router or firewall, make sure ports 80 and 81 are
enabled. Dynamic DNS will only upload global IP addresses. If your controller is using
virtual IP, NAT port mapping should be done first.
2. The DDNS service is provided purely as a favor to you. We hope it simplifies the process
of trying to connect an IP video device to the network. GeoVision does not and cannot
warrant that the DDNS service will be uninterrupted or error free. Please read Terms of
Service carefully before using the service.

2. Type a Hostname and Password based on the requirements noted on the page.
3. Type the characters or numbers shown for word verification, and click Send.
4. When the registration is complete, this page will appear. The Hostname is the domain
name, consisting of the registered username and “gvdip.com”, e.g.
somerset02.gvdip.com.
Figure 2-6
Note: The registered username will be invalid when it is not used for three months.

8
2.3.2 Configuring the Controller on Internet
After acquiring a domain name from the DDNS Server, you need to configure the registered
domain name on the controller in order to access the unit by the domain name on Internet.
1. Open an Internet browser, and type the controller’s IP address. The login dialog box
appears.
2. Type the username and password of the controller, and click OK. The Network
Configuration page appears.
3. Select Enable DDNS.
4. Type Host Name, User Name and Password that are registered on the DDNS Server. If
GeoVision DDNS is used, the system will automatically bring up the Host Name.
Figure 2-7
5. Click Submit. When the setting is complete, the Status field will indicate: Register
Success. Then the controller can be accessed with the domain name.

[ID]
Enter the ID number for the controller. This ID is used by GV-ASManager to differentiate
among multiple units of controllers. ID number can only be between 1 and 1000.
[Door/Gate A]
Select the function type and authentication mode for the use of the door/gate.
Function: Define the function of the controller connected to the door/gate which is used
for door, parking lost or elevator access control.
Authentication Mode: Select the authentication mode for the door/gate.

through GV-ASManager.
Local Lock Mode: Remains locked. The locked state cannot be cleared through
GV-ASManager.
Fixed Card Mode: Grants access after the card is presented or a passcode is
entered, and ignores the authentication schedule of GV-ASManager.
Fixed Card Mode + PIN Mode: Grants access after the card is presented and the
card’s PIN code entered too. Ignores the authentication schedule of GV-ASManager.
Fixed Card/Common Mode: Grants access after the card is presented or after the
door/gate’s password is entered. Ignores the authentication schedule of GV-
ASManager.
Authentication Schedule Mode: Follows the authentication schedule set on GV-
ASManager.

presented. Ignores the Lock Time setting and APB setting.
Note: To grant access to a card in Local Lock Down mode, click the Access Monitor
button on GV-ASManager, right-click on the card to select New/Edit Card and select Disable
Lock Card / Disable APB / Allow Access during Lockdown Mode.

16
[Series Function (APB & Fire)]
You can set Anti-Passback and fire sensor functions across multiple controllers. The Anti-
Passback means that a card used on an entry door/gate cannot access the same entry
door/gate again unless it has been used on a corresponding exit door/gate. For details on
setup, see Chapter 6 Anti-Passback on GV-ASManager User’s Manual.
For the fire sensor function, when the fire sensor of the associated controller is triggered, the
fire sensor on GV-AS1620 will also be activated.
Enable/Disable: Enables or disables Anti-Passback and fire sensor functions.
Info IP: Enter the IP address of the next corresponding controller.
[Wiegand Card Filter Setting]
Wiegand A/B Filter: Enable to avoid recording repeated access logs, from the same
card via Wiegand port A or B, within the duration set.
Wiegand A/B Filter Duration: Set the duration of filter, from 3 ~ 60 seconds.
[Camera Mapping]
You can assign a camera to capture snapshots upon card presented. The captured
snapshots will be saved to the built-in flash drive of GV-AS1620 and then transferred to the
Access Log on GV-ASManager whenever GV-ASManager resumes connection after it has
been disconnected.
Enable/Disable: Enables or disables the camera mapping function.
First Camera: Type the IP address of the assigned camera to take snapshots.
Type the User Name and Password of the camera to complete the mapping process.
[HTTP Event (Card Log Notification)]
