Package contents
The TruVision TVE H.264 IP video decoder is shipped with the
following items: TVE-DEC10 decoder, power adaptor, power
cable, and CD (includes the user manual and TruVision Device
Finder).
Network settings
Use TruVision Device Finder to find and configure the IP
address and other parameters of the device. This tool
automatically identifies TruVision devices that support “auto-
discovery” anywhere on the network, even in different subnets.
The TruVision Device Finder tool can be found on the CD
shipped with the decoder.
To install the TruVision Device Finder:
1. Insert the CD in the computer’s CD/DVD drive.
2. Browse to the folder TruVision Device Finder and double-
click the Setup file located in the folder.
3. Following the instructions, select the folder where setup
will install the files then click Next.
4. The program requires a utility called WinPcap to be
installed on the computer. If it is already installed, go to
step 5. If the program is not installed, the WinPcap window
appears. Follow the on-screen instructions.
5. The TruVision Device Finder Wizard appears. Click Finish
to complete its installation. The shortcut icon appears on
your desktop.
Using the TruVision Device Finder
1. Double-click the shortcut icon to open the tool. Click Start
in the Start window to begin the discovery process. The
list of TruVision devices located on your network appears.
Note: The TruVision Device Finder can only detect
devices that are on the same LAN. The tool cannot detect
devices placed on a VLAN.
2. Change the device settings as required. Click Exit when
completed.
Note: You must reboot to activate the new IP address or
subnet mask.
Before you start
Before accessing the browser, you need to configure the
network settings of the decoder.
Connect the decoder to the LAN, and connect a computer to
the same LAN as the decoder.
