Point-to-Point Configuration
To configure the device, you need the SConfigurator software. It is
included on the Verint web site: www.verint.com/manuals. Copy its
executable file (SConfigurator.exe) to the hard disk of your computer.
The configuration tasks are:
1. Preparing the wireless system
2. Providing SConfigurator parameters
3. Providing the initial parameters
To prepare the wireless system:
1. Change the IP address of the computer running SConfigurator. For the
detailed procedure, refer to the Nextiva S4100 Series User Guide. The
recommended settings are:
IP address: 172.16.23.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Default gateway: 172.16.23.1
Write down the initial values to put them back when the configuration
is finished.
2. In a lab, unpack the receiver (-R) and the transmitter (-T) and set
them on a table.
3. Write down the serial numbers of the devices in a safe place.
4. Plug the supplied video/serial/power cable into the main connector of
the S4100-R.
5. Power the S4100-R using the red and black wires of the
video/serial/power cable.
a. In 12V DC, connect each power wire of the power cable to the
corresponding wire of the power supply: the red wire to the input
(+) wire and the black wire to the ground wire (-). For more
information, refer to the power supply documentation.
b. In 24V AC, connect each power wire of the supplied cable to a wire
on the power supply. Both wires are used for power.
c. Connect the electrical plug into the outlet.
6. Connect an Ethernet cable between the network (RJ-45) connector on
the S4100-R and the computer.
7. When the boot sequence of the receiver is completed, power the
S4100-T (repeat step 5).
To provide SConfigurator parameters:
1. Start SConfigurator by double-clicking SConfigurator.exe on your
hard disk.
Auxiliary connector
Main connector for video 1, serial
port, and power
Network (RJ-45) connector
LEDs
External SMA antenna connector
Warning: To avoid material damages, you must never power any two
devices while their antennas are facing one another with a
distance of less than 10 feet (3 meters).
On an S4100-2V, do not use the red and black wires of the
second video/serial/power cable.

devices. Assign the proper country to comply to the DFS/TPC
regulations, if applicable, to respect the maximum EIRP, and to use
the proper set of frequency channels.
5. Ensure that the Repeater Mode value is Disabled.

Installation
1. Fix the mounting assembly on the device, then install the device in its
final location. For instructions, refer to the Nextiva S4X00 Mounting
Assembly Installation Guide included with the mounting assembly set.
2. Remove the dust caps from the main (Video/Serial/Power) and
optionally the auxiliary connectors.
3. Plug the video/serial/power cable on the main connector of the S4100
device. To properly install the cable connector on the device, use your
hands and turn until it blocks. Do not use pliers.
4. Plug the BNC video connector of the video/serial/power cable on the
target equipment associated to video 1.
5. Perform the serial connection to the target equipment.
6. If your device is a -2V model:
a. Connect the second video/serial/power cable to the Auxiliary
connector of the S4100 device.
b. Plug the BNC video connector of the second video/serial/power
cable on the target equipment associated to video 2.
c. Perform the serial connection to the target equipment.
7. If you purchased the alarm/audio option, plug the supplied
alarm/audio cable into the Auxiliary connector of the device.
For more information about surge protection, refer to the “Surge
Protection” appendix in the Nextiva S4100 Series User Guide.
8. To properly fuse the power supplied to the wireless device, install a
fuse between the power source and the power cable. The fuse must
have the following ratings: UL Listed, 250V, 2.5A, Fast-Acting.
9. Power up the S4100 device.
10. Repeat step 1 to step 9 for the second device.
Note: You must install the mounting assembly on the S4100. It is
required to properly mount and securely ground the wireless
device.
Tip: For easy maintenance, it is strongly recommended to plug an
outdoor Ethernet cable on the device and to run it down the pole.
Tie the cable to the pole 2 feet (0.7 meter) or less below the device,
while ensuring that there is no tension between the device and the
tie point. Insert the other end of the cable in a waterproof electrical
box for outdoor applications. Add external surge protection near the
device to protect the Ethernet port.
Tip: If you are installing the S4100 equipment in a lightning prone
environment or in a site where large AC mains power fluctuations
are a common occurrence, add external surge protection to secure
your equipment.
Tip: If the S4100 is directly exposed to the sun in an environment likely
to reach 122°F (50°C), install a sun shield. Otherwise, reduce the
maximum operating temperature by 18°F (10°C) to protect the
equipment; that is, without a sun shield, the maximum temperature
should be 104°F (40°C).
