Installation and commissioning
Requirements
Checking conditions
Before you integrate your G-ST into an existing network, you must ensure that
the following conditions are met:
There is a functioning network with TCP/IP protocol (100/1000 Mbit Ethernet).
For other networks, the successful integration of G-ST must first be demon-
strated.
For commissioning, a network administrator is required on site who can inter-
vene promptly when problems with the network arise.
The responsible network administrator must provide a free IP address, in some
cases with subnet mask and default gateway, for every G-ST and for each con-
figuration and playback PC. In addition, a free IP address is required per net-
work segment.
This additional IP address will be used for test set-ups during commissioning
and must remain available after completion of work.
With the help of the PING diagnostic tool, which is normally executed as a con-
sole command, functional communication between the G-ST and the configura-
tion or playback PCs must be confirmed.
You can also demonstrate functional name mapping using PING. You start the
command window by right-clicking on Start Click on
Command Prompt Enter PING + IP address.
Tools for commissioning
Before commissioning, make sure you have all accessories you need for installation
and connect the accessories.
If configuration and operation of the system is to be performed directly on the G-ST,
you need the following equipment:
S-VGA monitor (recommended minimum resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels),
USB/PS2 keyboard and USB/PS2 mouse.
Connect the mouse and keyboard via the USB/PS2 ports on the rear of the device.
Use only standard keyboards and PC mice that are MS Windows-compatible.
Connect the monitor cable to the DisplayPort connector on the back of the device.
The device driver for the graphic card has already been installed on the device.
For network integration of the G-ST we recommend the following tools:
Laptop with installed network card and the required network configuration. For
testing, installation using MS Windows 8 is sufficient.
Establish the connection between the G-ST and analysis PC via a switch or use
a crossover network cable.

Take into account an additional 15% of the calculated image storage capacity
for management of images.
Recording grid (number of images per unit of time) of the corresponding cam-
eras for permanent and/or event recording.
You should also be experienced in dealing with MS Windows and be able to in-
stall hardware and software.
For set-up of network applications, you should also have the following information
available to you:
Network topology and technology and responsibilities of your system.
Computer name and/or IP addresses of the computers and devices to be set.
Instructions on installation of in-house PC cards and external devices
Please observe the following instructions, which will help you avoid time-consuming
installation work and ensure error-free operation:
Wherever possible, use PC cards offered by GEUTEBRÜCK. If you ordered
these cards with the device, they are already installed and ready for operation.
When re-ordering a card, we strongly recommend also ordering assembly and
the installation at the same time.
Installation of third-party PC cards is performed at your own risk as we cannot
ensure proper system function in such case.
Only use monitors that meet the minimum requirements set out here. If possible,
only use standard PC keyboards and mice that are MS Windows-compatible.
If possible, use printers that are supported by MS Windows, the printer drivers of
which can be found on the system disk in the Windows directory.
For connecting external devices, note in general:
G-ST 2000+ devices do not have a CD-ROM/DVD drive. When selecting de-
vices, please ensure that the devices are compatible with MS Windows.
For the use of a recovery DVD you need an external USB drive.

Assigning contacts
Digital inputs
The G-ST has 8 control inputs, each with an internal pull-up resistor of 1 kΩ after +5
V.
The control inputs are distributed onto a 25-pin Sub-D socket (input 1-8).
This is located on the back of the device.
Figure: 25-pin Sub-D sockets
Contacts for the processing of events can be connected to the control inputs of the
Sub-D sockets.
The event contacts can start or stop recording, for example, when a contact is
opened or closed, or in case of sabotage. The events are created and set up accord-
ingly in the G-Set configuration software.
To set up the tamper monitoring of contacts, follow these steps.
1. Define the foreseen contact as normally open.
2. Select the monitoring resistance so that the sum of monitoring resistance and
line resistance is 510 Ω +/- 10%.
For tamper monitoring using quiescent current circuits, three different levels can be
distinguished at the switch inputs:
Level 0:
0 to approx. 0.66 V
Level 1:
approx. 0.7 V to approx.1.5 V
Level 2:
approx.1.6 V to 3.3 V
The loop current monitoring is performed with a 470 Ω resistor at the
end of the line.
Warning!
Please do not apply a voltage above 3.3 V. This can damage the device.
