Chapter 1 Introduction
DS-6104HCI net video server adopts embedded Linux operation system (RTOS) and TI
DaVinci processor that 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-6104HCI net video server has the function of compressing the video signal and audio
signal simultaneously into H.264 compression standard; transmitting the compression stream
through network; real-time video and audio preview; supporting stream protocol (RTP/RTCP,
RTSP), IE browser, bi-directional voice talk and multilingual etc.
Notes:
DS-6104HCI: 4 channels video inputs and 4 channels audio inputs. All channels
can support CIF resolution real time (25FPS for PAL or 30FPS for NTSC).

Chapter 3 Video Server Setup
There are three kinds of methods to configure the parameters of video server.
1. Through Hyper Terminal (connect DVS with the PC through RE-232 serial ports)
2. Through TELNET (connect DVS with PC through network)
3. Through client-end application software (connect DVS with PC through network)
3.1Parameter Setup through RS-232 serial port
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):

Chapter 4 Upgrade Firmware
There are two methods to upgrade the DVS firmware. One is using shell commands to ask
DVS to download firmware from TFTP server. The other is using PC client software.
4.1Use Shell Command and TFTPServer
Step 1:
Before the update start you should do the follow steps:
1. Download the TFTP server from the internet, such as Cisco TFTP Server. Then put the
firmware in the root directory of the Cisco TFTP Server.
2. Connect the device to the Router.
3. Please use DTE cable to connect device 232 port with COM port of the server PC.
4. Configure the Hyper Terminal. Steps as below.
Enter into start----all programs----accessories------communications-----hyper terminal. Click hyper
terminal.
