1. Package contents
Package contains IPCorder KRR-416/424, power cable, network cable, installation CD, installation guide and licence
agreement.
2. Ho to set up IPCorder in a fe minutes
• Install your IPCorder to a 19“ rack and place it to a free 1U position.
• IPCorder KRR-416/424 supports up to four 3.5“ SATA I, SATA II or SATA III hard disks (you can use all types together).
To install the disk:
1) Release the safety lock of the box and take it out.
2) Screw the disk to the box.
3) Insert the box with the disk back into your IPCorder and secure the safety lock.

• Connect the device to the computer network (use network adapter number 1) and plug it into an electric outlet.
• On start-up, IPCorder tries to obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP; if unsuccessful, the IP address is set to
the default value of 192.168.1.78. If the IPCorder is in the same subnet as the PC used to access it, it should appear
in the Network Devices folder under Microsoft Windows.
• To obtain the IP address of your IPCorder you can use the IPCorder Discover – an application for discovering
IPCorder device in your network. You can find it on the enclosed CD or download it directly from
http://updates.ipcorder.com. Windows users can use the file IPCorderDiscover.exe; for other operating systems
use the file IPCorderDiscover.jar. The utility requires Java SE 5 or higher installed on your computer
(http://java.com/en/down oad).
• After starting the utility click the Discover button and the application will list all IPCorder devices it can access.
In case the utility fails to find your IPCorder, turn off your local personal firewall and/or antivirus. If the IPCorder
is running in Service mode (formerly known as Rescue mode), you can change its network settings in the application
by the Device setup button. You can use Locate button for easier physical localization – red diode (exclamation
mark) on your IPCorder will start blinking.

• Double click the device you wish to set up in the list of discovered devices and the web interface in
Insta ation & Rescue mode will appear in your default internet browser. You can configure the RAID array on
RAID Array Configuration screen. After the RAID array is created, restart to Normal mode. While Service mode
is running, the red exclamation mark on the front panel will be lighting.
• After a while you should see the normal login window. Default user name is admin, default password is admin.
• After the first login you will see Configuration Guide which will lead you through the configuration of basic IPCorder
settings. Please pay close attention to setting your password and the system time. You can also let the IPCorder find
the cameras in your network and set up their recording options. All these actions are accessible via the Settings menu.
• To ensure higher reliability, IPCorder KRR 416/424 can be equipped with additional power supply (not included
with the IPCorder). To install the additional power supply:
1) Turn off your IPCorder and unplug it from the power supply.
2) Take off the cover of the slot for the additional power supply.
3) Insert the additional power supply.
4) Connect power cables to both power supplies.

Backup Netwo k Inte face
IPCorder KRR-416/424 supports the Backup Network Interface function. This service prevents disconnection from the network
in case of failure of one of network routes (both network adapters of the IPCorder must be connected). This can prevent
unavailability of the IPCorder in case of unwanted removal of a network cable or switch failure. To set up this service:
1) Connect the second network cable to your IPCorder (use network adapter number 2) and to the switch.
2) Go to the Nework tab in the web interface of the IPCorder:
• If Service mode is active – continue to the Network page and if needed set up the basic network settings.
• If Normal mode is active - go to the Settings menu in the upper part of screen, then select Configuration - Storage
and if needed set up the basic network settings.
3 Check the Enab e second network interface as backup option in the Backup Network Interface section.
4) Choose how the connection failure will be detected:
•Link (cab e connected) – this option detects disconnection of the network cable. If the cable from network adapter
no.1 is removed, the connection through the network adapter no.2 will be automatically activated and vice versa.
•Network (ping address from the ist) – this option checks if there is any traffic running through the active network
adapter of the IPCorder. If no network traffic is detected, the connection through the backup network adapter will be
automatically activated. Type at least one IP address of the independent server to the IP address ist text field.
5) In the Check Inte val text field, set the interval for checking availability of the connection, the default value is set to
100ms, the typed value is used for both types of failure detection.
6) Click the App y button to confirm the settings (use buttons App y Changes and Restart if Service mode is active).
Note: The Backup Network Interface function is active only in Normal mode. If you are using DHCP server to obtain an
IP address, it is possible that after the settings are confirmed, your IPCorder will temporarily obtain another IP address.

• For optimal use of your IPCorder and all of its functions, make sure you have the latest stable version of firmware
installed.
