5. System Connections
IPC systems can be connected in either 1-to-1 fashion where one IPC is connected one
PC client or decoder system or 1-to-many fashion where one IPC connected to many
PC and decoder systems. (IPC -200 video server can work as a decoder system which
takes the data from a video server or IP camera, decodes and outputs analog video.)
Topology
Generally, the IPC and the PC & decoder are connected in 1-to-1 mode or 1-to-many
connection is also supported.

IPC-300 User Manual
Mostly used configuration is 1 to 1 connection. An IPC is installed at a site where video
images can be transmitted and a PC or a decoder is installed at a center location to
receive and view the video images on analog monitor. Audio and serial data are
transferred in either direction.

Site
In this configuration, a site can be monitored from many remote center locations.
Although up to 64 PCs or decoders can be connected to on IPC, in the real network
environment, network bandwidth can limit the maximum connections.
Functionally, the central monitoring system software can replace the decoder.
Multicast Mode
Within the network that supports multicasting, a large number of decoders can be used
to receive video effectively from an IPC using a single streaming of video and audio.

In this arrangement, video and audio can be retransmitted from a center to another
center. The arrangement is useful when the network bandwidth to the site is limited
while there are more than one center wanting to monitor the site.

2. Installation
1. Connecting Network (LAN)
Connect LAN and there is a Video output to check video quality.
2. Connecting Audio
Audio is bi-directional in any configuration. If necessary, it can be configured to be in
transmit-only, receive -only or bi-directional mode.
- Connect audio input and output ports to audio devices accordingly.
- Audio signal is in line level, therefore, microphone or speaker with amplification
function should be used.
3. Connecting Serial Ports
The serial port(RS-485) in IPC can be connected to external equipment such as PTZ
receiver etc. Then, PC client can send PTZ commands to the external equipment via
serial port. When a decoder system instead of PC client is connected to IPC, the serial
port of IPC and that of the decoder system works in pass-through mode. That is, data at
one port are delivered to the other port, vice versa.
4. Connecting Sensor and Alarm
Connect sensor and alarm devices to corresponding terminals accordingly.
5. Connecting Power
After confirming the power source, connect power adaptor and connect the 12VDC
connector to the system. Soon the system will boot up to an operating mode.
6. Check if It Works
As soon as the power is supplied to the system, it will boot and, after about 30 seconds,
the system will be ready for operation.

3. System Operation
1. Remote Video Monitoring
There are two ways to view the video once connections are made between the site and
center system. In order for a proper operation, an IP address must be set accordingly
and please refer to True Manager in Chapter 4 or Remote Setting in Chapter 5 for a
further details.
Default ID : admin Password : 1234
Video Monitoring with Decoder System
Once the IPC IP address is set in the remote IP address section of the decoder, the
decoder system will connect to the IPC and start receiving the video images. Normally,
a monitor connected to the decoder will display video images.
Video Monitoring using Internet Explorer
If an encoder’s IP address in entered on the Internet Explorer, the system will ask for
confirmation to install Active-X control. Once authorized, the Internet Explorer will start
to display video images from the encoder as shown below.

2. Initialization of IP Address
If a system IP address is lost, the system can be reset to a known IP address using the
reset button in the back side of the system:
cWhile system is in operation, press the reset button more than 5 seconds.
dThe system will reboot automatically
eOnce the system has been rebooted, IP address will be set to the following.
-IP mode: Fixed IP
-IP address: 192.168.10.100
-Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
-Gateway : 192.168.10.1
-Base port : 2222
-Http port : 80
4. Remote Configuration
1. Using Internet Explorer
The server can be configured using web browser. Type IP address of IPC in the address
input area of Internet Explorer, then a live viewing screen will be displayed. Press Setup
