Chapter 1 Introduction
DS-6001FI series video server adopts embedded real-time multi-task operation system
(RTOS) and embedded processor, which is completely independent of PC platform, and efficiently
improves system performance. Firmware is burned into the FLASH, making the system more
steady and reliable.
DS-6001FI video server is both an encoder and decoder. It has one channel video input, can
compress the video signal into H.264 real time stream, and transmit the live steam through
network. It also has one channel video output to decompress the H.264 stream from other
Hikvision Net DVR, DVS.

2.3The pin definition of physics interfaces
2.3.1 PIN definition of RS-232 port
The Decoder has one RS232 standard serial interface, with RJ-45 connector. Its pin definition
is as follows (‘I’ means input, and ‘O’means output):
(1) When the RS232 interface of the DVS connects with the DTE equipment, one end of the
cable is the 8-pin RJ45 connector (to DVS) and the other of the cable is the DB25 female
connector (to DTE). Below is the description of the internal connection between RJ45 and DB25.
(2) 25-pin to 9-pin converter’s internal connection is like this:

(3) If you don’t want to use 25-pin to 9-pin convertor to connect DVS and DTE through
RS232 interface, you must use RJ45-DB9 cable. Its internal connection description is:
(4) When the RS232 interface of the DVS connects with the DCE (such as MODEM), one
end of the cable is the 8-pin RJ45 connector and the other is the DB25 male connector. Below is
the description of the internal connection between RJ45 and DB25:

Chapter 3 Video Server Setup
There are three kinds of methods to configure the parameters of video server.
1. Through Hyper Terminal (connect Decoder with the PC through RS-232 serial ports)
2. Through client-end application software (connect Decoder with PC through network)
3.1Parameter Setup through RS-232 serial port
Mainly set up IP parameters of the video server through serial port. The defaulted IP address
is 192.0.0.62.
Under the case that the IP address is unknown; the Hyper Terminal (need to connect the serial
ports) can only be adopted to configure IP address and other parameters. Under the case that IP
address is known, TELNET can be adopted to configure IP address and other parameters, and can
also modify the IP address by using client-end software.
3.1.1 Hyper Terminal Setup
Please direct connect the RS-232 serial port of PC with the RS-232 serial port of video server
before configuration (there are RJ45 head and DB9 line in the packing carton)
How to establish the connection with the super terminal connection?
Step one: Enter into Hyper Terminal. Click “Start” “Programs” “Accessories” 
“Communications” “Hyper Terminal” in Windows system, and the dialogue box below will
appear (Fig. 3.1.1):

Fig. 3.1.1 newly establish a connection and define the name and icon
Step2: To name the connection name and to define the icon. Input a name (e.g. aa), select a icon,
press “OK”, the dialogue box like Fig. 3.1.2 appears.
Fig. 3.1.2 select communication port
Step 3”: to select the communication port. Select “com1” communication port in Fig3.1.2, press
“OK”, the dialogue box as Fig. 3.1.3 will appear.

Step 4: Serial port parameters setup. Set the serial port parameters as the following setup: Bits per
second: 115200, Data bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop bits: 1, Flow control: None. Press “OK” after
finish, the Hyper Terminal interface like Fig. 3.1.4 will appear

Step 5: To close the window, the Fig. 3.1.5 will appear. Select “Yes” and Fig. 3.1.5 will appear.
Select “Yes” again to have the Fig. 3.1.6
Fig. 3.1.5 to disconnect
Fig. 3.1.6 save Hyper Terminal session
Step 6: Save the Hyper Terminal session for using next time. After saving, it will new establish a
“Hyper Terminal” item in the program group “Start” “Programs”“Accessories”
“Communications” “Hyper Terminal” and it includes all “Connection” name for all Hyper
Terminal. Here you have see a “aa.ht”.
3.1.2 Shell Commands under Hyper Terminal
Please use the DTE cable and the DB9/DB25 convertor to connect PC with DVS RS-232
port.
Step 1: Enter into the Hyper Terminal. Click “ Start”“Programs”“Accessories”
“Communications”“Hyper Terminal”“aa.ht”, the Hyper Terminal interface in Fig, 3.1.4 will
appear.
Step 2: Press “Enter” in Hyper Terminal, the prompt “—>“ appear, as in Fig. 3.1.7. Under this
prompt the following operation commands to accomplish the setup of the parameters.

The following is the introduction of getIp, setIp commands.
getIp
Function:to get the fixed IP, subnet mask, gateway, command port, IP address of PPPoE dialup
(the IP address of PPPoE will be 0.0.0.0 if there is no dialup or dialup is not successful).
Parameter: none.

3.2PTZ control
Step1: Connect Decoder RS-485 interface with PTZ. Please refer to RS-485 pin definition.
DVS just uses Pin5 (TX+) and Pin6 (TX-) to send PTZ control command.
Step2: You can use remote client software to setup PTZ protocol.
In client software remote setup dialog box, select “Serial Para” tab button. You can select
DVS PTZ parameters in the corresponding dialog box.
Please refer to client software user manual for detail information.

Chapter 4 Upgrade Firmware
There are two methods to upgrade the Decoder firmware. One is using shell commands to ask
Decoder to download firmware from FTP server. The other is using PC client software.
4.1Use Shell Command and FTP Server
1. Using DTE cable to connect the RS232 of Decoder with the RS232 of PC.
2. Setup the Hyper Terminal correctly and run it.
3. Make sure the FTP Server (wftpd32.exe) is setup correctly (the corresponding user
manual is in CD) and run it.
4. Make sure the network between Decoder and PC is ok.
5. Press "ctrl" and "u" keys of the PC keyboard, do not release them.
6. Switch off and on the power supply of decoder.
7. In the HyperTerminal, the following sentence is appeared:
Please input [u/U] or [ESC] key
8. Release "ctrl" and "u" keys, press "u" key
9. After that, please refer to following pictures.

In the example, I set the Decoder as "192.0.0.95" and ftp server as "192.0.0.144". Of course
the ftp server software (wftpd32.exe) is run in the PC whose IP address is "192.0.0.144" and the
network is OK. In this case, Decoder (192.0.0.95) will search the PC (192.0.0.144) and download
the firmware from ftp server.
