yBLC (Back Light Compensation)
Under severe bright “back light” conditions, the target object will show dark, which hides
object detail. Set this switch to “ON” for compensation for this phenomenon. The target
object should appear with more detail after enabling this setting.
yAGC (Automatic Gain Control)
Set this switch to “ON” to enable this automatic video gain adjustment. Under
severe/excessive illumination conditions, the camera video may saturate. Enabling this
feature will automatically lower the video amplifier gain, improving video quality. This
setting also compensates for low light conditions. If the camera is subject to under
exposure, or overly dark illumination conditions, the camera will automatically increase
video amplifier gain, improving video quality.

XNET Network Dome Camera User’s Guide
yFL or F/L (Fickerless)
Set this switch to “ON” to prevent flicker from the following AC Power conditions:
-Using an NTSC camera in a region with 50 Hz AC power, or a PAL
camera in a region with 60 Hz AC power may cause a visible “video
flicker.”
This is outside of normal power conditions for the two aforementioned video standards.
Thus the improper 10 Hz differentiation is the cause of the “flicker.”
yD/N (Day & Night) - Available only for Day & Night camera module
Set this switch to “ON” to enable the camera’s day & night feature set. Under very low
light conditions, the camera automatically switches to “Night Mode/Black and White Mode,”
delivering daylight quality Black & White video.
yDSS (Digital Slow Shutter) - Available only for Day & Night camera module
Turning this switch “ON”, tells the camera to sacrifice the video refresh rate in order to
compensate for ultra low light conditions, improving the brightness and sharpness of the
video.
yZOOM (Digital Zoom) - Available only for Day & Night camera module
Set switch to “ON” to enable digital zoom.
yDC Level - Available only for Day & Night camera module
For adjusting output video DC levels.

3. Connecting XNET to Network
XNET supports LAN, xDSL, and Cable modem. It also supports shared IP environments where
a single IP address is shared by two or more IP devices. Refer to [IP-Installer User’s Guide]
for details of setting the IP address for XNET.

Figure 3-1. Connecting the XNET to LAN
1. Follow steps 1 through 4 in Section 2.5 to assign an IP address to the XNET.
2. Install XNET and connect to LAN.
3. Test the ability to receive video data when connecting to XNET using XNET-NVR.
4. In order to access each unit from outside the local area network, each device must have a
unique RTSP (Real Time Stream Protocol) and HTTP port number. For example, when one or
more IP video products are connected through a IP sharing device (i.e. router) and then to a
larger network (i.e. the internet). The network administrator must also configure your IP
sharing device for “port forwarding”. This enables the IP sharing device to forward packet data
with unique port number (RTSP and HTTP) to the unique internal IP address (local IP address).
If you only plan to access multiple units from within a local area network, you do not need to
change the RTSP and HTTP port numbers, unless other IP sharing devices sit in-between the
client and the IP video products. For more detailed information regarding the use of IP sharing

Figure 3-2. Connecting the XNET to ADSL/Cable Modem
When a static IP address is assigned to the xDSL or Cable modem, using IP-installer,
invoke the same method as “assigning an IP address on a LAN.” To enable email
notification of IP address changes assign a “send to” e-mail address using IP-installer.
When connecting XNET/XNET-Wireless to xDSL or Cable modem, usually a
straight LAN cable is required. But since some modems have crossover
connections, in this case, you should use a crossover LAN cable. Please contact
your service provider for detailed information.
