WHAT IS THE PELCONET TRANSMISSION SYSTEM?

The PelcoNet Transmission System is a new technology that lets you view video in real time across a Local Area Network (LAN) and even Wide Area Networks (WAN). This technology is based on the TCP/IP protocol suite and Ethernet technology, providing compatibility with todays networking standards.

(See the Glossary section for definitions of terms used in this manual.)

How Do LANs and WANs Work? A LAN consists of multiple computers connected together, sharing information. This information could

be files, e-mail, printers, orwith the PelcoNet Transmission Systemeven live video and audio.

A WAN consists of multiple LANs connected over a great distance (for example, the Internet).

In any network environment, each computer needs an address so other computers on the network know how to reach it.

It is similar to a city with street addresses. For the post office to deliver mail to your house, you need a unique street address for the mail carrier to find you. A network is like the city. Like a street address, the IP address on your computer is your address on the network. The IP address is how other com- puters can find you on the network.

Remember that the IP address must be unique on the network.

When there are multiple networks and you are using the TCP/IP protocol, there must be a way to communicate between the two networks. A physical device called a router is required. The routers IP address is referred to as the default gateway IP address.

A cable that connects one computer to another is like a city street you can use to get from one house to another. The cable lets you communicate with each other on the network. This cable is Category 5 cable with RJ-45 connectors at each end. (It looks like a phone cord, only slightly larger.)

Who Should Install The PelcoNet Transmission System?

NOTE: Consult your network administrator if you need help.

Installation is a matter of configuring an IP address using a standard terminal program or any Internet browser and connecting the PelcoNet Transmission System to the Ethernet network. You should have the following background and experience to configure and install these units:

Working knowledge of basic network management concepts and terminology Working knowledge of tools and procedures for installing and operating sensitive electronic equipment

Pelco Manual C1977M-D (6/02) [ 9 ]

OVERVIEW

NOTE: This manual refers to the PelcoNet Transmission System unit when discussing features, functions, or specifications that apply to both transmitter and receiver models. Receiver, as used in this manual refers to a PelcoNet Transmission System receiver unless otherwise noted.

Description The PelcoNet Transmission System lets you transmit and receive live video, audio, and data over existing Ethernet computer networks (either intranet or Internet) using the TCP/IP protocol. You can view the picture on a CCTV or PC monitor.

The PelcoNet Transmission System consists of two units: a transmitter (NET101T/NET101T-A) and a receiver (NET101R/NET101R-A)however, only the transmitter is required to use the PelcoNet Trans- mission System. The transmitter connects any NTSC or PAL video source (cameras, for example) to the computer network.

Depending on how you want to display the video, you can use just a transmitter or a transmitter and a receiver. There are two ways to display remote video:

A hardware receiver and attached standard NTSC or PAL monitor Web browser using any PC on the network to display the video

Transmitters and receivers are identified by IP addresses, just like any other equipment connected to a computer network.

There is a bi-directional serial interface for remote control of peripherals like PTZ cameras. Transmission of full duplex audio is an option.

Software Version This manual documents PelcoNet software version 5.24.

Package Contents The product package contains the following items:

Transmitter (NET101T/NET101T-A) or receiver (NET101R/NET101R-A) AC plug power adapter, 5 VDC output CD

Keep the carton, including the original packaging material, to repack the equipment if you need to return it for repair.

[ 10 ] Pelco Manual C1977M-D (6/02)

Front Panel Connectors The PelcoNet Transmission System uses a compact design. One reason for the compact design is that connectors are placed on both the front and rear panels. The front panel connectors are dedicated to the media interfaces (video, audio, and data). They are shown in Figure 1.

Key: 1 = Green power LED (blinks slowly when connected to another PelcoNet Transmission System unit) 2 = RS-232 transparent data port for connecting to peripheral equipment 3 = Handset port (only with audio option) 4 = Audio line output (only with audio option) 5 = Audio line input (only with audio option) 6 = Video input (for transmitter) or video output (receiver)

Figure 1. Front Panel Connectors

Audio connectors 3, 4, and 5 only function on units equipped with the optional audio interface. Other than audio, there is no difference in features between regular and audio-equipped units; therefore, all informa- tion given for the basic transmitter and receiver units also applies to models with audio capability.

The green power LED lights as soon as you apply power to the unit.

The serial interface for transparent data transmission only provides serial send (pin 3) and receive (pin 2) signals and ground (pin 5). No hardware flow control signals are provided.

The handset interface lets you directly connect a telephone handset. Either the handset or the line inter- face is active at any given time. Selection of the interface is described in the Configuration section. For a detailed description of the audio interface, see the Hardware Installation section.

Pelco Manual C1977M-D (6/02) [ 11 ]

Rear Panel Connectors The network interface, a terminal port for configuration and management, an alarm I/O-port, and the power connector reside on the units rear panel (see Figure 2).

Figure 2. Rear Panel Connectors

The green LINK LED provides LAN status information. If the LED is on, the LAN port is properly con- nected and synchronized to a LAN. The yellow TX (transmit) LED blinks each time information is trans- mitted. The LED does not blink when information is received.

The RS-232 control terminal lets you connect to the serial port of a PC for simple configuration and/or operation of management functions. The interface features the full suite of RS-232 flow control signals.

The alarm I/O port lets you directly connect external signaling devices (for example, contacts). Also, the relay output facilitates switching of peripheral devices (lights or electric door openers, for example).

NOTE: Use only the supplied AC plug power adapter. If the adapter, the cable, or the connector show any sign of damage, do not use the power adapter. Send it in for repair or replacement. Never try to use any power adapter except the supplied one.

See the Hardware Installation section for information on interfacing peripherals to the unit.

[ 14 ] Pelco Manual C1977M-D (6/02)

Step 5: Selecting An IP Address For Your Network NOTE: Consult your network administrator for a valid IP address.

The transmitter comes with the default address 192.168.0.1 while the receivers default address is 192.168.0.2. Before operating the system inside your own network, you need to set a valid IP address.

Use a terminal program attached at the RS-232 control terminal port to change the IP address.

Refer to the Configuration Using A Terminal Program section for a description of IP address configuration using a terminal program.

Step 6: Using A Web Browser To Configure The Network Configure the network using a web browser. Start your web browser and connect to the URL http://IP-Address, where IP-Address is the IP address of the unit you want to configure. Use the standard dot-separated format (x.x.x.x) to enter the address.

Refer to the Configuration Using A Web Browser section for detailed configuration instructions.

Step 7: What Next? The system essentially is ready to use at this point. What you do now is up to you. For example, you can connect to the web browser to watch a camera view or configure additional options (alarms, default gate- ways, etc.) on the configuration pages.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Displaying Remote Video On A Web Browser The transmitter uses Motion-JPEG video compression or high performance H.323 coding for transmitting across the network. This enables transmission to standard web browsers of either live video (Live Video mode) or a stream of still images (Server Push mode).

To activate the Live Video feature, click on Live Video above the video window on the PelcoNet Transmission System home page (see Figure 6). The unit transmits using the H.323 coding format for display in the browser.

To stop Live Video, click on any other option at the top of the page.

To activate the Server Push feature, click on Server Push above the video window on the home page. The unit continuously grabs snapshots to be JPEG encoded, transferred, and displayed con- tinuously by the browser.

To stop Server Push, click on any other option at the top of the page.

The PelcoNet Transmission System can display live video to five users at a time. A sixth user connecting to the same transmitter cannot receive live video.

However, Server Push can support multiple users simultaneously on the same transmitter. Image quality is good with an update rate of one image about every 2 to 10 seconds depending on the number of users and available bandwidth.

Browsers that do not support live video technology can display an updated still image or a stream of images in Server Push mode.

Figure 7. Configuration For Box-To-Box Connections

There are two ways to make a high performance multimedia transmission system for computer networks:

One way is to use just the transmitter and connect it through the computer network to a PC with a web browser at the receiving end.

Another way is to connect the transmitter through the computer network to a receiver. This is often called a box-to-box connection because it uses two PelcoNet Transmission System units.

In either case, routing dedicated cables from a camera to a monitor is not required because you can use the existing computer network for that purpose.

The following explains a box-to-box connection.

1. First, transmitter and receiver need to be configured appropriately. If the units are supposed to be operated in different subnets, a gateway IP address must be configured. Use the alarm IP address field to address the destination. Enter the settings using either a terminal program or a web browser.

2. Once all addresses are configured, type c in the terminal window to establish the actual connection or pro- gram the live video receive IP and enable the live auto connect setting through the web browser. Make sure the alarm IP address in the unit that will initiate the connection points to the destination unit. After a few sec- onds, video transmission begins and the camera scene appears on the monitor attached to the receiver.

Instead of using a terminal program for establishing a connection, you can attach a contact to the alarm input. Make sure the alarm input is enabled.

You can use a web browser to connect any one of the two units, even during an active box-to-box connection. This way you can make changes to the configuration and immediately see the result of the setting (for example, when changing video quality). If you are connected to the transmitter, the camera picture is sent to the receiver and web browser simultaneously. There will be a short break in the video display on the receiver monitor when- ever the web browser requests a new frame. This is especially noticeable with the Server Push feature.

Full duplex audio can be transmitted in parallel with the video transmission in units that have the audio op- tion. To do so, you need to use the web browser to enable audio on the Audio Settings Configuration Page.

Transparent data is always transmitted automatically between the two units as soon as the connection becomes active. Data bytes entering the interface are transported to the other end transparently. There is no flow control mechanism for the data channel. Overflowing the serial interface will cause data loss.

To sever the connection from either end, type d in the respective terminal window (or disable the alarm).

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Refer to Appendix A - Connecting PelcoNet to Different Components for diagrams that show various connections.

Connecting Video Sources Or Displays To connect a camera, plug a standard coaxial cable into the BNC connector at the front of the trans-

mitter. You can connect any camera or other video source (for example, a VCR with a composite PAL or NTSC output). The input accepts color or black and white sources and automatically detects whether it is PAL or NTSC. When using a VCR as an input source, you can improve the video quality by setting the Input Source to VCR in the Video Settings Configuration Page (see the Configuration section). The video input has an internal termination of 75 ohms.

To connect a monitor, use a standard coaxial cable and plug it into the BNC connector at the front of the receiver. Any PAL or NTSC video monitor with a composite PAL or NTSC input can be connected. Moreover, a VCR can be connected to store the received video on a VCR tape.

The default output format is composite NTSC. To switch the video output to composite PAL, set the Output Standard to PAL on the Video Settings Configuration Page (see the Configuration section). You must then reboot the unit for the change to take effect.

Connecting Audio Equipment The two audio channels available if the unit has the audio option are called handset and audio in/out. Only one of these two can be active at a time.

Key: 1 = Handset microphone, positive terminal 2 = Handset speaker, positive terminal 3 = Handset speaker, negative terminal 4 = Handset microphone, ground terminal

Figure 19. Pin Assignment Of The Handset RJ-11 Receptacle

You can connect a handset to the RJ-11 receptacle labeled Handset on the front of the PelcoNet Trans- mission System. To select this audio interface, put a checkmark in the radio button labeled Handset on the Audio Settings Configuration Page.

You can also set the input and output level (from 0-100%) on this configuration menu. And, the coding mode at the sending side can be set (using the menu item Coding Mode) between two different modes or switched off.

The audio decoder automatically follows the selected audio coding of the transmitter. If the receiver cannot decode the selected mode, an automatic fall-back to the next available audio mode occurs.

The second audio channel is available at the two RCA jacks labeled Audio In and Audio Out at the front of the unit. To choose this channel, select the radio button Line In/Out on the Audio Settings Configuration Page. Level and coding mode settings apply to this channel in the same manner as described above for the first channel.

[ 24 ] Pelco Manual C1977M-D (6/02)

Connecting Data Terminals The unit has two serial interfacesone at the back and another at the front. They serve different purposes and cannot be used interchangeably, as explained in the following.

Control Terminal Port For local control and configuration of the unit, you can connect a data terminal (for example, a PC running a standard terminal program) to the serial interface labeled Control Terminal on the rear panel. The 9-pin DSUB connector features a standard RS-232 interface that can be connected to a PCs COM port.

You can use a standard terminal program to communicate with the unit. The default parameters are set to 19200 baud with 8 bits of data, 1 stop bit and no parity bit (8N1).

To access the online help, type ? (a question mark) in the terminal window. For more information on the command set, see the Configuration section. This mode allows the control port to be used to send serial data that requires flow control.

You can configure the RS-485 halfduplex mode in the web browser. The RTS and CTS signals are enabled for flow control.

If this RS-485 mode is chosen, the camera control data is transferred automatically to the Control Terminal port. Certain cameras with fixed data length require the buffered RS-485 mode. (This halfduplex mode is not required for interfacing to any Pelco product.)

Transparent Data Port The second serial interface, on the units front panel, offers a transparent serial data channel between the receiver and the transmitter. A typical application for the transparent data channel is remote control of peripheral equipment (PTZ functions of selected cameras, for example). You can also use this channel for remote control of any external device with a serial interface. The serial data is transferred in parallel to the video and audio data.

Transmission of transparent data is enabled only after a video connection has been established. Also, the RS-232 interface for the transparent data port does not support hardware flow control.

For proper operation, you must configure the following in a way that they fit the associated unit: baud rate, parity of the interface of the PelcoNet Transmission System unit, and number of data and stop bits. Use a web browser to configure these parameters at the unit with the configuration side.

The Transparent Data interface is used to remotely control PTZ cameras, transmit data transparently between two units, or for equipment connected to a PC COM port. This is only true when the units are connected. Only the data transmitting signals are provided at this port.

Connecting External Sensors and Controlling Peripheral Devices The unit has an alarm input to use for external signaling devices, like door contacts or motion detectors. You can connect switches or contacts directly without a separate power supply. The alarm input is located on the two left pins of the detachable screw terminal (see Figure 22).

1 2 3 4

Key: 1 = Alarm input, positive terminal 2 = Alarm input, ground terminal 3 = Relay output, Y 4 = Relay output, Z

Figure 22. Pin Assignment Of The I/O Connector

Connecting pin 1 to pin 2 activates the input. You can configure alarm triggering to occur when the contact between pin 1 and pin 2 closes (normally open) or opens (normally closed). You can also configure alarm action (for example, connecting to an alarm IP address or sending an alarm e-mail). See the Configuration section for information on the possibilities.

The relay output can be operated interactively, during an active connection, or automatically to coincide with certain events. Settings for the relay must be configured (see the Configuration section).

Typical applications of the relay output are activating electric door openers or switching of lights and other electrical devices. Do not exceed the maximum rating of 24V/0.5A.

Connecting To A LAN To connect to a 10BASE-T network, plug a standard UTP/Cat5 cable with RJ-45 connectors into the receptacle labeled Ethernet/UTP on the rear of the unit. You can connect directly to the Ethernet network. The green LINK LED on the rear of the unit lights as soon as the connection to the network is physically correct and synchronized with the LAN. Check the cable or see the Troubleshooting section if the LED does not light.

The yellow TX LED above the LINK LED is lit whenever the unit is transmitting over the network.

Pelco Manual C1977M-D (6/02) [ 27 ]

CONFIGURATION

There are two ways to configure your system:

The most basic control and configuration is accomplished by connecting a terminal to the RS-232 terminal port.

A more complete configuration and display of video is through the built-in HTTP server, which connects to any standard web browser.

Configuration Using A Terminal Program Using a terminal program connected to the RS-232 terminal port on the units rear panel provides limited configuration and control capabilities (null modem cable required). Ensure that the COM port of the PC is set up properly (default parameters are 19200 baud, 8N1) and that the local terminal echo is disabled.

All commands consist of single characters you type inside the terminal window. The following section shows a typical terminal session.

Typical Session Typing a question mark prompts the unit to display the help screen in the terminal window, as follows:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Help menu ? this site i set the IP address s set the subnet mask g set the gateway IP address a set the alarm IP c connect to alarm IP d disconnect m display MAC address v display version information b display current data rate

disable local echo for a better display !

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

If you are using the terminal to set up the units IP address, just type i and you are prompted to enter a new IP address:

i ->Enter new IP address (old:192.168.0.1): 192.168.0.5 (Enter) ->IP address set to 192.168.0.5

NOTE: You cannot enter backspaces during a terminal sessionif you mistype a character, end your entry by pressing ENTER and try again. If you see duplicate characters on any entry, the local echo feature of your PCs terminal program is not disabled.

If you want to establish a live video connection to a remote unit, you have to specify the remote IP address by typing a and entering the remote IP address in the same manner as the unit IP address as shown in the example above.

To establish a connection, type c; to disconnect, type d. Be sure not to connect two units of the same type (for example, receiver-to-receiver).

Configuration Using A Web Browser In addition to the aforementioned configuration using a terminal program, which only covers the most basic settings, a web browser is the tool of choice for a more complete configuration. To accomplish this, the system features a complete HTTP server.

Microsofts Internet Explorer 5.x is the recommended browser.

Web Server Concept Start your web browser and connect to the URL http://IP-Address, where IP-Address is the IP address of the unit you want to configure. Use the standard dot-separated format (x.x.x.x) to enter the address.

The HTTP server provides five separate pages for configuration.

You can return to the home page from any other page by clicking on the PelcoNet logo on the left side. Clicking on the Pelco logo while on the home page immediately transfers you to the Pelco Internet home page, provided the network allows for Internet access.

Video Settings Configuration Page The Video Settings Configuration Page lets you modify all video-related parameters. Some items apply only to transmitters while others require a receiver. The screen capture below belongs to a receiver: the setting for the video bandwidth and the output standard are both disabled.

Refer to Table C for default settings and descriptions.

Figure 28. Video Settings Configuration Menu

[ 38 ] Pelco Manual C1977M-D (6/02)

The following table details the configuration items. The Type column shows whether the particular setting applies to transmitters (T) or receivers (R), or both (B).

Table C. Video Settings

Configuration Default Type Description Item Settings

Video quality super fast T On restricted bandwidth channels, the video quality preference in terms of speed versus sharpness can be se- lected. With increasing bandwidth, the effect of this setting diminishes, as best quality and fast motion can be main- tained simultaneously.

Video standard (CIF) T Standard video resolution is Common resolution Intermediate Format (CIF) at 352 x 288

picture elements. For very restricted channels (for example, wireless or low speed modem transmission) it may be advantageous to switch to medium resolution (QCIF) at 176 x 144 pixels for decent frame rates.

Video bandwidth 250000 T This field controls the transmitter ActiveX bandwidth setting for live video.

Video 250000 R The transmission rate (that is, the video bandwidth RX bandwidth) is controlled from the receiving

end. Therefore, this setting only applies to receivers. The data range can be entered from 10 Kbps up to 1 Mbps.

Camera name none T In addition to the unit name, the camera name helps the user identify the loca- tion or the visible scene.

Name off T The unit name, as well as the camera stamping name, can be stamped into the video

frame. There is a choice of upper or lower left corner for displaying the name information inside the video frame.

Time off T Similar to the name stamping, date and stamping time information can be stamped into the

live video frame at either the upper or lower right corner. The stamping occurs at the transmitter before the actual cod- ing takes place. Therefore, the name and the date/time information are an integral part of the coded and transmitted data.

(Continued on next page)

Table C. Video Settings (continued)

Input source camera T To facilitate the connection of video tape recorders as video sources, the input can be switched from the default camera po- sition to VCR. VCRs require a less rigid setting of the internal PLL, due to jitter caused by the mechanical components.

Output PAL R The video standard to be used at the standard output of receivers can be selected to

be PAL or NTSC compatible. Transmit- ters automatically adapt to the standard of the connected video source.

Enable JPEG low quality T This field must be enabled (activated) images for the system to take a snapshot of the

camera view. Choose either high qual- ity or low quality to enable. The next five fields are all settings to control this snapshot.

Time slice 0 T Enter the number of seconds that a new JPEG should be displayed.

FTP server IP 0.0.0.0 T Enter the address used to connect to the address FTP server.

Login name n/a T Enter the login name used to access the FTP server.

Password n/a T Enter the password for the login name.

Path n/a T Enter the directory to start in, once connected to the FTP server.

Audio Settings Configuration Page Audio configuration settings apply only to transmitters and receivers equipped with the audio option (NET101T-A and NET101R-A).

Figure 29. Audio Settings Configuration Menu

Pelco Manual C1977M-D (6/02) [ 41 ]

The table below details available configuration items.

Table D. Audio Settings

Configuration Default Description Item Settings

Audio interface Line I/O The unit features two different audio interfaces: line input and output via cinch sockets and a telephone handset inter- face via an RJ-11 plug. The handset interface also features DC power for the microphone. Only one of the interfaces is active at any given time, as selected by this setting.

Input level 25% The sensitivity of the input needs to be adapted to the level of the audio source to avoid oversteering and the re- sulting distortions. Experiment for the best setting.

Output level 12% Adapt the output level to the requirements of connected audio equipment.

Coding mode off The audio function is switched on by selecting any of the two different coding algorithms, G.711 or G.728. The tradeoff is given on the web page: G.711 is the preferred operation if bandwidth is not a concern. G.728 greatly im- proves efficiency at a somewhat reduced audio quality.

[ 42 ] Pelco Manual C1977M-D (6/02)

Alarm Settings Configuration Page The PelcoNet Transmission System is not only a multimedia gateway but also a security device and, therefore, has many features related to security applications. The Alarm Settings Configuration Page lets you configure your unit for video surveillance applications. This page basically applies to transmitters only. However, receivers do provide the same features. In most surveillance-related applications, the re- ceiver is located in a secure alarm center-type environment while the transmitter is mounted inside or at the location to be monitored. See the Typical Applications section for more information about remote video surveillance.

Figure 30. Alarm Settings Configuration Menu

Pelco Manual C1977M-D (6/02) [ 43 ]

The set of video surveillance features is explained below.

Table E. Alarm Settings

Configuration Default Description Item Settings

Video alarm off The signal video source (the camera in most cases) is con- stantly checking for availability. Should the video signal fail due to tampering or failure of the camera or video cablean alarm action may be triggered, if selected, as explained below.

Motion alarm off The system has a video motion detection feature. The video scene is constantly monitored for relevant motion.

Click the Configuration button to access a camera view overlaid with a grid. Select the cells you want the system to monitor for motion. Click the Select All button in the Se- lect Sensor Fields box to select all cells (which will turn red). To set an individual cell, click on it with the left mouse button. Click with the right mouse button to deselect a cell (which will turn white). Select or deselect multiple cells by holding down the left or right mouse button and dragging. Release when finished. Press the Clear All button in the Select Sensor Fields box to deselect all cells.

Set sensitivity using the arrows in the Sensitivity box, or drag the square button on the bar between Low and High.

The following conditions must be met for motion detection to function:

Motion detection must be activated. At least one cell must be activated. Sensitivity must be set higher than zero.

The sensitivity needs to be adapted to the respective envi- ronment and the acceptable false alarm rate: for a lower false alarm rate select a lower sensitivity and vice versa. Some experimentation is required to find the best setting. Use of the motion detection feature is only recommended indoors and under controlled lighting conditions.

Alarm input pin off If external sensors or simple contacts or switches will be used with the system, you need to turn on the alarm input. You also must select whether the input is normally open or nor- mally closed.

(Continued on next page)

[ 44 ] Pelco Manual C1977M-D (6/02)

Table E. Alarm Settings (Continued)

Configuration Default Description Item Settings

Alarm status off Current alarm activation status can be shown in the video frame (similar to the name, date, and time stamping dis- cussed in Table C).

If configured to be on, the status of the activated alarms, namely video, motion and input, is shown in the upper left cor- ner of the video frame. Or, the display can be activated as soon as an alarm condition is reached. This way, the video frame corresponding to the alarm condition is clearly marked.

Also, there is a choice to keep the status display, once an alarm has been triggered, even when the original cause of the alarm is no longer present, or to have the status dis- play follow the alarm condition.

Alarm message empty In connection with the alarm status explained above, a string user-defined text string can be displayed on the screen in

the upper right corner. The text string is typically used to convey additional alarm-related information to the remote viewer (a guard, for example).

Connect off The alarm functions would have little effect without auto- matically triggering corresponding actions. The current set- ting allows for an automatic connection establishment to the given IP address. The idea is to provide a remote monitoring station with live video in case of an alarm.

This feature can be useful even for many applications not related to alarm conditions. One example is a video- equipped door entry system: when the doorbell is pressed, a contact closes and the connected transmitter autono- mously connects to a receiver. Full duplex audio can pro- vide verbal communication, while the relay output can re- motely open the door.

On receivers, the default alarm connection IP address is set to 192.168.0.1 (default IP of transmitter).

Live video 0.0.0.0 Enter the IP address of the transmitter or receiver for receive IP live/alarm connection. If that remote unit has a password,

enter it in the Remote Password field so the two units can communicate with each other.

Configuration Default Description Item Settings

Live video off The auto connect feature guarantees an active connection to auto connect the given alarm IP address even after connection break-

down or network failures. If auto connect is selected, the network cable can be pulled any time. As soon as the net- work comes back alive, the connection is reinstated. On a receiver, this feature is enabled to establish a connection to a transmitter automatically.

Send email off Alarm conditions can also be documented by e-mail. When triggered, an e-mail message with attached JPEG- encoded video frame is sent to the given e-mail recipient.

Idle state open The output contacts of the built-in relay are configured to be either closed or open when the relay is idle.

Operating bistable When the default bistable mode is selected, the relay will stay mode in the idle or active state for an indefinite period. In the

monostable operation mode, the relay will automatically fall back to the idle state after a predefined period expires.

Relay follows none Operation of the relay can also be automated. Selecting any entry from the list ties the operation of the relay to the re- spective action or condition. A typical application is having the relay following the status of the connection; for example, to power peripheral equipment or even the camera itself.

Operate relays n/a Clicking the button operates the relay. Typical applications are opening remote doors or operating lights.

The default parameters of the transparent data port agree with the most commonly used settings, as shown in the following table.

Table F. Interface Settings

Configuration Default Description Item Settings

Transparent Data Port

Baudrate 9600 Select any transmission rate from 300 to 19200 baud.

Data bits 8 Select 7 or 8 data bits.

Parity none Select odd, even, or none.

Stop bits 1 Select 1 or 2 stop bits.

Control Terminal Port

Second com port Terminal The second COM port (Control Terminal port) can be set to use Terminal mode, which is used to program the unit through HyperTerminal.

Or, it can be set to COM 2, which will allow control of devices such as a digital video recorder (DVR) or pan/tilt/ zoom camera, etc. As such, it functions just like the Transparent Data port, thus providing two control ports. However, when set to COM 2 PelcoNet can no longer be accessed through HyperTerminal.

Baudrate 19200 Select any transmission rate from 300 to 19200 baud.

Data bits 8 Select 7 or 8 data bits.

Parity none Select odd, even, or none.

Stop bits 1 Select 1 or 2 stop bits.

RS485

Halfduplex mode off If this RS-485 mode is chosen, the camera control data is transferred automatically to the control terminal port, which is a serial interface on the rear panel of the unit to which a PC can be hooked. This mode supports flow control.

NOTE: In the on or buffered mode, transparent data is rerouted to the control terminal port; terminal functions are provided on the transparent data port.

ADVANCED FEATURES

Automatic Connection Feature The advantage of conventional dedicated cabling lies in guaranteed performance and availability. The PelcoNet Transmission Systems auto-connect feature is designed to provide the same level of guaran- teed connectivity expected from analog coaxial video cables.

IT networks commonly experience short breakdowns and congestion. Protocols used for computer communication (for example, TCP/IP) are designed to cope with missing data and interruptions. With the PelcoNet Transmission System, once a video connection is established, the video stream normally termi- nates gracefully when a network connector is pulled or the network is otherwise disrupted.

The system can be configured to reconnect automatically to guarantee connectivity. To activate this fea- ture, click the Live Video Auto Connect radio button to On (on the Alarm Settings Configuration Page) and confirm this choice by clicking the Set button. Now the unit will try to connect to the specified alarm IP address every time. The receiving station (alarm IP address) can be another receiver.

Video Motion Detection Feature The transmitter can automatically check video input for significant motion in the scene and trigger an alarm if the motion exceeds a preset threshold. Activate motion detection by setting Motion Alarm to On in the Alarm Settings Configuration Page.

Click the Configuration button to select sensitivity for motion detection. You need to tailor this parameter to the particular application. Experiment to find the best setting. Higher sensitivity may lead to erroneous detection and increase false alarms.

You can restrict motion detection to certain areas in the scene. Select the cells you want the system to monitor for motion. Press the Select All button in the Select Sensor Fields box to select all cells (which will turn red). To set an individual cell, click on it with the left mouse button. Click with the right mouse button to deselect a cell (which will turn white). Select or deselect multiple cells by holding down the left or right mouse button and dragging. Release when finished. Press the Clear All button in the Select Sensor Fields box to deselect all cells.

Set sensitivity using the arrows in the Sensitivity box, or drag the square button on the bar between Low and High.

Alarm Notification By E-mail The e-mail feature lets you send an e-mail message to a recipient on any alarm event. This could be used to signal an alarm to people who cannot be reached with a video-based notification.

To activate this feature, enable at least one of the alarm inputs, configure a receiver e-mail address, and activate the Send Email button. Remember to configure a mail server and gateway IP addresses in the General Settings Configuration Page.

Now the system will send an e-mail to the specified recipient on every alarm event. There will be a timeout of at least 30 seconds before the same alarm event generates another e-mail message.

The e-mail will contain the status of the three alarm inputs so you can see which event triggered the e-mail (when more than one alarm input is enabled). Every alarm e-mail message includes an attached JPEG-encoded video snapshot taken at the time of the alarm event, documenting the condition.

[ 60 ] Pelco Manual C1977M-D (6/02)

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the following instructions fail to solve your problem, contact Pelco Technical Support at 1-800-289-9100 for help. You should have the serial number from the bottom of the unit and the firmware version ready in case they are needed.

Do not try to personally repair a unit. Opening it immediately voids any warranty. Leave maintenance and repairs to qualified technical personnel. Swap a defective unit with a replacement unit and return the defective one for repair.

Basic Functioning Three LEDs on the unit indicate its condition. The following sections describe malfunctions indicated by the LEDs.

Green Power LED Green Power LED Is Off If the green power LED on the front panel is off and you believe it should be on, check the following:

Make sure the enclosed power supply is connected correctly to the power plug socket. Make sure the power supply is connected properly to a functioning power outlet. Check the power cord for apparent damage. Check the power supply for a 5 VDC output. If it is correctly connected and the green power LED still

does not light, exchange the power supply for a new one.

Green Power LED Blinks Slowly This does not indicate a malfunction but means a connection exists between one unit and another. Connec- tions with a web browser have no effect on this LED, so there will be no blinking light during configuration.

Green Power LED Stays Off After Firmware Upload And Reprogramming If the power LED does not come back on after a firmware upload, there may have been a problem during upload. Return the system to the dealer.

Closely follow the instructions for the firmware upload. Especially do not disconnect the power supply during firmware upload and reprogramming.

LAN Link LED The green LAN Link LED next to the Ethernet 10BASE-T connector should light when the Ethernet con- nection is made. If this LED is off:

Make sure the network cable is firmly connected to the hub or switch. Does the hub or switch work correctly in the network? Check the power supply of the hub or switch. Use a Cat5 straight-through cable to connect to a normal hub. Check the cable for physical damage. Use a crossover cable if connecting a unit directly to a PC without a hub.

Pelco Manual C1977M-D (6/02) [ 63 ]

Transmit LED The orange LED next to the Ethernet 10BASE-T connector should flash briefly whenever a unit transmits a packet (for example, when accessing the unit with a web browser). If this LED fails to come on, perform the following checks:

Are all units connected correctly with the power supply? Check power supplies and connections. Did you configure the correct IP address for your unit? Is your web browser configuration correct? Is the TCP/IP protocol installed on your PC operating system, and is an IP address assigned to the PC? Are the subnet mask and gateway properly set up?

Contact your network administrator if you have problems installing your network.

Terminal Program If the terminal program fails to connect to the units terminal port, check the following:

Is the right COM-port interface on the PC selected for the terminal program, and are the settings correct? Is the cable connected to the terminal and not the data port on the unit? Program default settings are 19200 kb/s, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (8N1) for the terminal program.

If the data exchange between the terminal program and the system still does not work, check the serial cable. Does the system answer when you enter a question mark?

Disable the local echo if you see duplicate characters on your screen.

Troubleshooting a TCP/IP Network Using A Ping Utility (Enter the appropriate information where indicated by the quotation marks below. Do not enter the quota- tion marks.)

To see if a unit in your network can be reached, try to ping your unit by typing the following command in a DOS window:

c:\>ping unit IP address

If it is reached, there will be a response like the following:

Reply from : bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx

If the LAN path is malfunctioning, the ping command will time out. If so, you could have one of the following problems:

Wrong physical connections. Make sure the LAN Link LED is on. See the Basic Functioning section above for more information.

Wrong network connection. Verify the IP address is entered correctly and that subnet mask and gate- way address are set properly.

Otherwise, ask your network administrator.

[ 64 ] Pelco Manual C1977M-D (6/02)

Troubleshooting Connection Problems If you fail to connect to a system from a hardware receiver, check the following to pinpoint the problem:

Do not connect two units of the same type (for example, receiver to receiver). Make sure network connectivity is available (for example, by using the ping command as described above).

Troubleshooting The Video Connection If no video or a distorted video image is displayed at the receiver during a connection to a transmitter:

Make sure to use the right unit for your application: a camera can only be connected to a transmitter, never to a receiver.

Make sure the camera is switched on and the coaxial cable is connected to the transmitter.

Check the camera cable and connect a video monitor to the camera to check that the camera is func- tioning correctly.

If you will be using a VCR as a video source and the image is distorted, select VCR as the input source in the Video Settings Configuration Page.

At the receiving system, make sure the monitor is switched on and the coaxial cable is connected to the receiver.

Check the monitor cable and the selection of the monitor channel, if the monitor features more than one video channel.

If the monitor can display only a single video standard (PAL or NTSC), check the setting of the video output format in the Video Settings Configuration Page.

Testing The Audio Connection This test procedure applies only to units with the audio option.

Test Between Audio-Equipped Transmitter and Audio- Equipped Receiver 1. Connect a microphone (via a preamplifier) to the Line-In RCA jack and a loudspeaker to the Line-Out

cinch connectors, or connect a handset to the RJ-11 plug on both units.

2. Make sure the correct menu items are set in the Audio Settings Configuration Pages of both systems; that is, select the appropriate interface (line I/O or handset).

3. Switch the coding mode to G.711 or G.728.

4. Select a volume above zero.

5. After establishing the Ethernet connection, audio should be transmitted both ways.

6. Be sure the level is not set too low and that the right interface is selected.

7. If you cannot hear any audio, check the microphone and loudspeaker together with other audio equipment, and make sure the microphone is switched on if it has a power switch.

[ 88 ] Pelco Manual C1977M-D (6/02)

APPENDIX B FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)

1. What Pelco devices can I control from my computer with PelcoNet?

PelcoNet can control the following from Internet Explorer: Spectra and Esprit Genex multiplexer DX3009 and DX3016 digital video recorders CM9760 matrix (requires CM9760 data translator) CM9740 matrix (requires CM9760 data translator) CM9502 matrix (through integrated ASCII port) CM8500 matrix (requires latest CM8500 data translator) CM6700 matrix (through integrated ASCII port, COM 2)

2. What TCP/IP ports does PelcoNet use?

PelcoNet lets you select which base port to use. The default is 25000. This means PelcoNet will use TCP ports 25000-25001 and UDP ports 25002-25011 (12 ports total) for all video and control data. The ports must be open for PelcoNet to function properly.

3. Can I view PelcoNet over the Internet?

Yes. You will need a static IP address and enough bandwidth to view live video. Pelco recommends a minimum of 250 Kbps for medium image quality. Also check with your ISP to verify the correct TCP and UDP ports are open through any routers or firewalls through which you will connect. The base ports are adjustable in PelcoNet. For example, if you choose port 25000 (default), it will use TCP ports 25000-25001 and UDP ports 25002-25011 (12 ports total) for all communication: video and control.

4. How many connections does PelcoNet support? Can more than one receiver connect to a transmitter at the same time?

Yes. PelcoNet can support an unlimited number of simultaneous connections. To do so, all hubs, switches, and routers must support multicasting (IGMP), and PelcoNet must be configured to use multicasting. If the network hardware does not support this, then the maximum number of simulta- neous connections is five.

5. Can I enlarge the picture size in the browser?

Yes. You can select from two different image sizes in PelcoNet with the browser: 288 x 352 or 576 x 704.

6. What software does PelcoNet require?

PelcoNet works with Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher. An ActiveX plug-in is also required for Internet Explorer to get live video. All software is included.

7. Can I control other manufacturers equipment from the browser?

Not at this time.

8. Can I record video with PelcoNet?

Yes. PelcoNet can record video to the hard drive of the viewing PC. The video is recorded in AVI format, which allows playback through either the browser or Windows Media Player.

Pelco Manual C1977M-D (6/02) [ 89 ]

9. Everything is wired correctly but I do not have any control from the browser. What else could be wrong?

The Transparent Data port settings should be set to match the equipment to which PelcoNet is connected.

Also, in Internet Explorer, the Microsoft Virtual Machine should be enabled. To do so: on the Tools menu, select Internet Options. Then select the Advanced tab. Locate the option Microsoft VM. Place a checkmark next to Java Console Enabled and JIT compiler for virtual machine enabled. Reboot your computer.

These options are required for the Java applets in PelcoNet to function properly.

10. Can I control the Genex multiplexer from the browser and have a local KBD4000?

Yes. You must have Genex Version 4.1 or higher. This version lets you connect a KBD4000 to the COM IN port, and PelcoNet to the COM OUT port. This gives you both local and remote control. Refer to Connecting Pelconet to the COM OUT RS-422 Port on a Genex Multiplexer in Appendix A for detailed information.

11. Can I control the Genex multiplexer server?

Not at this time.

12. Can I use DHCP (dynamically assigned IP address) with PelcoNet?

No. PelcoNet requires a static IP address.

13. What type of compression does PelcoNet use?

PelcoNet uses the H.323 standard. H.323 is an industry standard for video teleconferencing over the Internet. It provides the most effective use of bandwidth with excellent video quality.

14. I do not get live video in the browser but server push is working. What could be wrong?

Verify that the ActiveX plug-in is installed and that your video is set to 16-bit color. Also check with your network administrator to verify that the TCP/IP ports PelcoNet uses are not being filtered and that you have enough bandwidth.

15. How do I program PelcoNet with HyperTerminal?

Using a null modem cable, connect a COM port on your PC to the Control Terminal port on PelcoNet. Open HyperTerminal and set the port to use to 19200, 8, N, 1, and No Flow Control. Type ?, and follow the help menu.

16. How much bandwidth does PelcoNet use?

PelcoNets bandwidth is adjustable. You can set it from 10 Kbps up to 1 Mbps. Pelco recommends a minimum of 250 Kbps for live video at medium image quality. Check with your network administrator for how much bandwidth to use.

17. Can I use PelcoNet with a DSL or cable connection?

Yes. You will need a static IP address from your provider. Also verify what kind of bandwidth you will get since it varies by location. Verify that your provider is not filtering the TCP/IP ports that PelcoNet uses.

18. Is an RS-232 to RS-422/485 converter required for control with PelcoNet?

PelcoNets control port is RS-232, so any device that uses RS-422 for control will need a converter. Pelcos Spectra, Esprit, Genex (COM IN), CM9760, CM9740, CM9502, KBD200, KBD300, KBD4000, CM9760KBD, and others use RS-422 for control.
