In the package you will fin your IPCor er, interchangeable wall plug a aptor 12 V / 4 A with the plug suitable for
you region, network cable, two hol ers for the removal of the isk, an installation CD, two screws for securing the back
panel, the installation gui e an license agreement.
2. How to install IPCorder in several min tes
• Two 3.5 inch SATA I, SATA II or SATA III isks (in various combination) can be inserte into the IPCor er
KNR-2008/2012/2016, the in ivi ual positions are numbere as follows:

• Use the following proce ure for the installation of har isks:
1) Press own top lock an remove the back panel. If you have secure it in the past with two screws, unscrew
them. The evice is supplie by the manufacturer with a clippe in back cover. Screws for securing the back
cover are part of the package.
2) Attach the hol er for the removal of the isk to the har isk.
3) Sli e the isk into the free isk position. The or er of the occupie positions oes not matter.
4) Attach the back panel an clip in top lock. The back panel can be secure by the two supplie screws to ensure
greater safety.
• Connect the evice to the computer network (use network a apter number 1).
• Firstly connect the original power a apter to IPCor er an then plug it to an electric outlet.
• On start-up IPCor er will attempt to obtain the IP a ress automatically via DHCP. If unsuccessful it is set up
to the efault value of 192.168.1.78. If the IPCor er is in the same subnet as the PC use to access it, it shoul
appear in the Network Places fol er un er Microsoft Win ows
•IPCorder Discover – the utility for iscovering the IPCor er evice in your network - can be use to fin
the IP a ress of your IPCor er. You will fin this application on the enclose CD or on the manufacturer’s website
. Users of the Win ows operating system can use the IPCorderDiscover.exe file, other
users the IPCorderDiscover.jar file. You nee to install Java SE version 6 or newer (
for the correct function of the Discover program.

• After starting the utility click on the Discover button an after a moment (Discover in progress) the application
will fin the available evice. If the utility oes not fin your IPCor er, try to switch off the firewall, or anti-virus.
If the IPCor er is in Service mo e (formerly known as Rescue mo e), you can help it by using the button Device
setup to change the network parameters. In the event that the current IPCor er IP a ress is not in the same range
of the network as the IP a ress of your computer, or the routing is not setup among those networks, the IPCor er
a ress must be setup in the range of the network of your computer.
• For easier physical localization of IPCor er you can click on the button Locate – a re io e with an exclamation
mark symbol will begin to blink on IPCor er.
• Click twice on the require evice. The interface of the IPCor er Service mo e will be isplaye in the efault
Internet browser, this will be in icate by a lit re io e with an exclamation mark symbol.
• You will be aske to configure the RAID
array on the Storage Configuration screen.
After its successful creation, restart to the
Normal mo e.

Redundant Network Connection
IPCor er KNR-2008/2012/2016 supports the Backup Network Interface function. This service prevents isconnection
from the network in case of failure of one of network routes (both network a apters of the IPCor er must be connecte ).
This can prevent unavailability of the IPCor er in case of unwante removal of a network cable or switch failure. To set
up this service:
1) Connect the secon network cable to your IPCor er (use network a apter number 2) an to the switch.
2) Go to the Network tab in the web interface of the IPCor er:
• If Service mo e is active – continue to the Network page an if nee e set up the basic network settings.
• If Normal mo e is active - go to the Settings menu in the upper part of screen, then select Configuration – Network
an if nee e set up the basic network settings.
3) Check the Enable second network interface as backup option in the Backup Network Interface section.
4) Choose metho of the Failure detection:
•Link (cable connected) – this option etects isconnection of the network cable. If the cable from network a apter
no. 1 is remove , the connection through the network a apter no. 2 will be automatically activate an vice versa.
•Network (ping address fro the list) – this option checks if there is any traffic running through the active
network a apter of the IPCor er. If no network traffic is etecte , the connection through the backup network
a apter will be automatically activate . Type at least one IP a ress of the in epen ent server to the IP a ress
list text fiel .
5) In the Check Interval text fiel , set the interval for checking availability of the connection, the efault value is set to
100 ms, the type value is use for both types of failure etection.
6) Click the Apply button to confirm the settings (use buttons Apply Changes an Restart if Service mo e is active).
Note: The Backup Network Interface function is active only in Normal mo e. If you are using DHCP server to obtain
an IP a ress, it is possible that after the settings are confirme , your IPCor er will temporarily obtain another IP a ress.

3. LED signalization, b tton actions and aco stic signalization
The front panel of IPCor er KNR-2008/2012/2016 contains 4 types of LED io e signals:
• The Network Dio e ( ) in icates the activity of the network a apters.
• The Storage Dio e ( ) (2x) blinks green if the har isk is active, it lights up re if the isk from the isk
array fails.
• The blue Power Dio e ( ) an re Info Dio e ( ) signals the following:
The green io e on the back panel of the evice signals the length of the presse Reset button. If presse for less than
5 secon s the io e is on, if presse for more than 5 secon s it blinks slowly an if presse for more than 15 secon s
it blinks quickly.
Button function description
Button ON/OFF ( ):
• If presse for less than 3 secon s it will switch off the acoustic signal in efine cases (see below).
• If presse for more than 5 secon s (accompanie by a short beep) it will switch the evice on or off, a running
application will en safely.
Status Power LED Info LED
Service mo e is active - on
Normal mo e is active on -
Foun by Discover on blinking
IPCor er is starting / switching off blinking -
Factory Reset on fast blinking

The Reset Button ( ) on the back of IPCor er:
• Presse for less than 3 secon s it will restart the evice from the Normal to the Service mo e, if in Service mo e
it will return to the Normal mo e if the Reset Button is presse again.
• If presse for more than 5 secon s an the power cable is connecte simultaneously the factory settings will restore.
We raw attention that in this case all the settings will be irretrievably lost inclu ing the save recor ings.
• If presse for more than 15 secon s the evice will be imme iately switche off. We wish to point out that in such
a case the save recor ings may be amage .
The acoustic signals are activate in the following situations:
• By a brief soun when the evice is switche on or off by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• By a continuous soun if there is a problem with the RAID isk array (can be switche off by briefly pressing
the front ON/OFF button).
• By a iscontinuous soun of the temperature of the evice excee s 42 °C an if the back panel of the evice
is remove or incorrectly attache (the signal cannot be switche off, it en s on its own once the temperature falls
below 38 °C or the back panel is attache ).
• By a continuous soun if the temperature of the evice excee s 60 °C (it can be switche off by briefly pressing
the front ON/OFF button). IPCor er will also e-mail information (if the SMTP is setup) an will make an entry
in the log.
• By a continuous soun if the temperature of the evice excee s 70 °C. The evice in this case will make an entry
in the log, sen information e-mail (if the SMTP is setup) an will be automatically switche off.
• Acoustic signals are accompanie by the blinking of a re light on the light strip.
