NETWORK

CONFIGURATION

9

Data sent across a network is limited by bus speed, network traffic, network topology, packet size, and Intellex application(s). Minimum 10BaseT is recommended,

100BaseTX preferred. Consult your IS network manager before installing Intellex Network Client(s) and connecting

Intellex units to your network.

Network Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when configuring your network:

Use the proper cables and connectors: CAT 3 for 10Base-T

(10Mbps) operation, CAT 5 for 100Base-TX (100Mbps) operation.

Configure the network for the TCP/IP Protocol.

Manually assign an IP address to each Intellex unit and

Network Client. We recommend against using a DHCP server to assign IP addresses. Intellex setup is easier with fixed IP addresses. Consult your network administrator for assistance.

Computer Name

Each Intellex unit and Network Client workstation must have a unique Computer Name to distinguish it from all others on the network. Though not required, we recommend that you also assign a Workgroup name.

See your Intellex Installation manual for information on setting up Intellex on the network. If you install Network

MANAGING

DATABASES,

CATEGORIES AND

INCIDENTS

19

The database, categories and incidents section of the main screen is similar to the Windows Explorer. The Network

Client database acts as a storage location on a hard drive or network server. Categories are like folders at that location.

Incidents are like files within the category folder.

Use the database generated by Network Client or create a database to contain the category folders you create. Create different categories for specific types of alarm events, certain cameras, specific locations or for other criteria.

To display categories contained in a database, click the plus sign next to the database icon. The associated categories appear.

As you download video, you can save the video segments as an incident in one of the categories. If need be, two or more incidents can be saved with the same name in the same category.

You can move incidents from one category to another or you can move all incidents to another category. You can also rename or delete categories or incidents.

Because of this flexibility, we recommend that you use the

Notes View extensively to save time when searching for a specific incident.

To display the incidents in a category, click the plus sign next to the category icon or double-click the category. When you are finished, double-click the category icon again to close the category.

To play an incident, select the incident. The unit displays the notes (if any). Video playback begins in the Video Review area. Use the

Playback

controls to review the video segment.

Use

Export to Bitmap

or

Export to AVI

to record a single image

or a video clip of the incident.

SITES VIEW

Managing large numbers of locations and Intellex units requires the ability to organize the Intellex units. The Sites

View allows users to classify and sort the hundreds of

Intellex units in a hierarchy order to make it easier to find the

Intellex units/cameras. You may decide to group the cameras by function or location. You may use up to 10 levels in a nested hierarchy.

NOTE: It is possible for cameras to be in more than one group. For example, Camera 1 (Hallway) may be in a folder for Inventory Access and another folder for All

First Floor Views.

To add an instrument to the list, drag the Instrument from the

Instrument View and place it in the folder of choice.

Instruments can be dragged from other folders in the Sites

View to create new Instruments in that folder.

Cameras can be added to a folder without including its

Instrument. This type of collection is called a Camera Site.

Each Camera Site keeps its connection information related to the Instrument it is connected through. The icons used in

Sites View are:

Root folder. This default name for this folder is Sites This folder can be renamed, but cannot be deleted.

This is a sites folder. Folders can be created in other folders.
