2. Basic Setup
GV-FWC is able to send access card data, paired to Face IDs of GV-Face Recognition
Camera, to GV-AS Controller, regulated by GV-ASManager, upon recognition, as illustrated
below. Make sure the GV-FWC, GV-AS Controller and GV-Face Recognition Camera are set
up under the same LAN.
For the necessary configurations, follow the steps below:
Step 1 Connecting GV-AS Controller to GV-ASManager
To connect GV-AS Controlelr to GV-ASManager, see Adding Controllers,
Chapter 4 in GV-ASManager User’s Manual.
Step 2 Enrolling Faces with Access Card Data to Camera
To add Face IDs with access card data, see 2.2 Adding / Editing Face IDs and
2.4.2 Batch Enrolling Faces + Cards in GV-Face Manager User’s Guide.
Step 3 Configuring GV-FWC
To configure and set up GV-FWC for communication, see 2.3 Accessing
GV-FWC and 3.1 Configuring for Communication on GV-FWC.
Step 4 Connecting Camera to GV-FWC
To connect the camera to GV-FWC, see 3.2 Sending Face IDs from Camera.
Step 5 Connecting GV-FWC to GV-AS Controller
There are two methods of connecting GV-FWC to GV-AS Controller:
via TCP/IP (recommended): See 3.3 Receiving Access Card Data by
Controller later in this guide
via Wiegand: See GV-ASEV Controller User’s Manual based on the model
of GV-AS Controller used for the physical connection.

Step 6 [Optional] Connecting GV-FWC to GV-Reader
Only for access control requiring both face recognition plus card swipe, to
connect GV-FWC to a GV-Reader, see 2.1 Connecting Extended Reader.
Once setup’s complete, access records by Face IDs are recorded on GV-ASManager upon
recognition. If a message of “Access Denied: Invalid Card” appears on GV-ASManager, you
can right-click on the message to add the card to your access database.
2.1 Connecting Extended Reader
The following diagram is exemplified using GV-R1352. Up to two readers can be connected to
GV-FWC through its Wiegand interface.
Note:
1. GV-FWC connection to GV-AS Controller via TCP/IP is only supported by GV-AS210 /
2110 / 2120 / 410 / 4110 / 4111 / 810 / 8110 / 8111 V2.20 or later.
2. Face images are also sent to the GV-ASManager upon recognition only when the
GV-FWC is connected to GV-AS Controller via TCP/IP.
Note: For access control requiring both face recognition plus card swipe, GV-FWC must be
connected to GV-AS Controller via TCP/IP.

2.2 Powering On
Power can be applied to GV-FWC using one of the following methods:
Plug the power adapter to the 12V terminal block. The power adapter is an optional
device.
Use the PoE function where the power is supplied over the network cable.
2.3 Accessing GV-FWC
When GV-FWC is connected to a network with DHCP server, it will be automatically assigned
with a dynamic IP address. Follow the steps below.
1. Download and install the GV-IP Device Utility program from the GeoVision website.
2. On the GV-IP Utility window, click the button to search for the IP devices connected
in the same LAN. Click the Name or Mac Address column to sort.
3. Find the GV-FWC with its Mac Address, click on its IP address and select Web Page.
4. In the login page, Type the default ID and password admin and click OK to log in.
Note:
1. The PC used to access the Web interface must be under the same LAN as the GV-FWC.
2. If the network connected doesn’t have DHCP server or is disabled, GV-FWC can be
accessed by its default IP address 192.168.0.100, see 2.3.1 Assigning a Static IP
Address.

2.3.1 Assigning a Static IP Address
To assign a static IP address to GV-FWC, follow the steps below.
1. Open your Web browser, and type the default static IP address https://192.168.0.100.
2. In both Login and Password fields, type default value admin. Click OK and this page
appears.
3. Under DHCP Client, click 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 displays Register Success.
The GV-FWC can now be accessed through the static IP address configured.

2.3.2 Configuring a DDNS Domain Name
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) provides another way of accessing GV-FWC when
using a dynamic IP from a DHCP server. DDNS assigns a domain name to GV-FWC so that it
can always be accessed using the domain name.
To enable the DDNS function, first you should apply for a domain name from either
GeoVision DDNS Server or DynDDS, the DDNS service provider’s website. See the
following instructions to register at GeoVision DDNS Server.
2.3.3.1 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. Or open an
Internet browser, and type the Web address http://ns.gvdip.com/register.aspx This
page appears.
2. In the Hostname field, type a desired name, which can be up to 16 characters
containing “a ~ z”, “0 ~9”, and “-”. Note that a space or “-” cannot be used as the first
character.

3. In the Password field, type a desired password, which is case-sensitive and must be at
least 6 characters in length. Type the password again in the Re-type Password field for
confirmation.
4. In the Word Verification section, type the characters or numbers shown in the box. For
example, type m2ec in the required field. Word Verification is not case-sensitive.
5. Click Send. When the registration is complete, this page appears. The Hostname
shown is the domain name, consisting of the registered username and “gvdip.com”, e.g.
somerset01.gvdip.com.
Note: The registered username becomes invalid after not being used for three months.
