Luma NVR and Cameras
2. Also during the rough-in phase, run a Cat5 wire from the location of the NVR back to the Router
to provide the Ethernet connection needed to control the NVR.
3. Install the NVR and Cameras.
4. Test the NVR and Cameras independently of the ELAN system to ensure proper operation of the
NVR and Cameras.
5. Configure the ELAN system for the NVR. This step is outlined in ELAN Configuration Details.
6. Test the system.

COMMON MISTAKES
1. Setting incorrect Device ID. The Device ID in the Configurator must match the ID set in the
changer’s setup menu.
2. If no One-Way Interface commands are functional, authentication may have timed out on the
SnapAV DVR. Use the Menu button and navigate to Login/Logout Menu, and select Login.
UserID and Password should populate from ELAN credentials.
3. No communication. Verify all the proper settings in the source device (step 3 above) including IP
Address, Username, Password, and Port (default Port is 80).
