password for the administrative user account (i3admin).
IMPORTANT: Your encoder will remain inactive and inaccessible until
administrative password is set.
Activate your HR16v2 encoder by setting administrative password:
1. Connect your HR16v2 encoder to the NVR’s PCI NIC card labeled “HR16” or to the
Gigabit switch.
2. On your i3 NVR, launch i3 Annexxus Configuration Tool (ACT) v1.7 or higher.
You can download and install the latest ACT installation package from i3 website:
https://i3international.com/download\
3. In the model drop-down list, select ANNEXXUS HR16v2. Security status will say
