2.5 Quick Installation Guide
Brief information for rapid installation is provided in this section. For more detailed information
you are recommended to refer to pertinent documentations provided with the product or refer
to our official website. (http://www.cnbtec.com)
①Connect XNET/XNET-Wireless to the LAN by using one of the following method
i. If you have power adaptor with PoE, connect the network camera and PC as illustrated
in Figure 2.5. Both power and network connection is made with a single LAN cable. The
propriety PoE (Power over Ethernet) adds convenience in installing the network camera
by providing both power and LAN connection using single LAN cabling.

ii. If you have standard power connect the network camera and PC as illustrated in Figure
2.6.
Figure 2-6. Connecting Network camera and PC using AC Adaptor
②Install “IP installer” and “XNET-NVR” on your PC
Detailed information for installing these software can be found in [IP-Installer User’s
Guide] and [XNET-NVR User’s Guide] respectively.
③Assign IP address to XNET/XNET-Wireless using IP installer
Identify the type of the network environment and set up IP address. Detailed process of
setting up IP address can be found in [IP-Installer User‟s Guide]. If network type is xDSL or
Cable modem you need supplementary information provided by your ISP.
④Connect to the XNET in Administrative Mode for initial parameter set-up
All parameters are set to factory default state when XNET/XNET-Wireless is delivered. You
are asked to configure the system for your environment in administration mode. Detailed
information of using administration mode can be found in [5. Configuring XNET/XNET-
Wireless in Administrative Mode]. Among the parameters, the parameters in the
following table should be set-up with proper values. Detailed information for the parameters
in Administrative Mode is found in [5. Configuring XNET/XNET-Wireless in
Administrative Mode]
[Note]: Set-up values are preserved even the power is turned off.
The table below shows the Administrator Mode‟s parameters list.
