Establish Initial Communications
After installing the server, complete the following steps:
1. Using a directly connected keyboard, monitor, and mouse, configure the server’s networking connections:
a. After the IVTVision Client software automatically starts on the server, expand the server device in the tree. Select
System Setup and then the Network tab.
b. For servers with multiple interfaces, select the appropriate NIC port from the drop-down menu at the top of the page:
i. If the server is installed on a network using static IP addressing (recommended), select Static, enter the
appropriate settings, and click Apply.
ii. If the server is installed on a network using DHCP (not recommended), select Dynamic and click Apply. After a brief delay,
all four parameter boxes should auto-fill with valid network settings. If not, contact your network administrator for
resolution.
c. Repeat this step for any additional network ports.
2. If the server will be configured through a remote IVTVision client instead of the server, install the client software:
a. Download the latest IVTVision Client software from the Inaxsys website
at http://www.inaxsys.com/en/support/downloads/software-
downloads.html
b. Install the client software on a system administrator computer.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not run the IVTVision Client software directly on an IVTVision system. The system
requires that resources constantly be available for archiving, configuration, and search functions.
c. Confirm connectivity with the server using the ping command and server IP address. If the client PC cannot
communicate with the server, contact the network administrator.
3. If a remote IVTVision client is being used, add the server into the IVTVision Client configuration:
a. On the system administrator PC, start the IVTVision Client software.
b. Select the Config (Setup) page button.
c. In the system tree, select Add System.
d. Click New and enter the username admin, password admin256, and IP address (static) or hostname (fixed)
configured in previous steps. e.
Click Apply.
i. If the new server appears in the system list table with a status of Connected, the initial server configuration is complete.
ii. If the server does NOT connect, but server connectivity was confirmed in previous steps, confirm the PC
anti-virus software is not blocking communications with the server IP addresses and ports.
4. Proceed to the software configuration steps found in the software user manual. The manual can be downloaded from the
Inaxsys website at http://www.inaxsys.com/en/support/downloads/manuals-specifications.html.
