IP assignment

1

Key Words for Network

LAN (Local Area Network) : Under the LAN network, any network device in the same

LAN network can be accessed by any other network device. But LAN network can not be accessed from the Internet (WAN).

Most of case, LAN is built after Router which is connected to WAN network so that

Network device in the local area network can access to the Internet through Router. Most of case, LAN networked device can not be accessed from the Internet (WAN), unless it is not configured to be accessed from the Internet through NAT function of router.

WAN (Wide Area Network) : WAN enables all network device can be accessed by each other over the Internet. It included Leased Line, Cable modem, xDSL, ISDN and

Telephone line etc.

IP address : IP address is abbreviation of Internet Protocol address which allows all network devices can communicate other over the network using Internet protocol. Each network device has its own unit IP address whether or not it is in the LAN or WAN network. Therefore network devices can be accessed by other network device from either

LAN or WAN (Internet).

For example, www.yahoo.com is a web server which has its own IP address so that any body can has access to Yahoo web site. Like most of public web site has its own IP address. Although IP address can not be seen by the client, domain name

(www.yahoo.com) is automatically converted into IP address by DNS server.

Static IP address : A static IP address is an IP address permanently assigned to computer or network devices in a TCP/IP network. Static IP address is usually assigned to network devices which are consistently accessed by any users. For instances, www.yahoo.com has global static IP address. Thus, any body can access to the site. If you want to view live video stream from FlexWATCH

TM

server over the Internet, you need to assign Global Static IP address.

Depending the network Public Static IP(WAN) or Private Static IP can be assigned to network device.

Dynamic IP address : A dynamic IP address is an IP address that is automatically

17


Network Video Server User’s Manual assigned to a client station (computer, network equipment, etc.) in a TCP/IP network.

Dynamic IP address is typically assigned by a DHCP server, which can be a computer on the network or another piece of hardware, such as router. A dynamic IP address may change every time your computer connects to the network

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) : DHCP is software that automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network. DCHP eliminates troublesome job to manually assign permanent IP addresses to every device on your network. DHCP software typically runs in servers and is also found in network devices such as routers. Most of Cable Modem for Internet access uses DHCP Public IP address and Private IP address : Public IP address is an IP address which can be identified uniquely in Internet world. All IP addresses excluding private IP addresses are public IP addresses. Private IP addresses range from 10.0.0.0 until 10.255.255.255, and from

192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. Generally speaking, private IP addresses are used in local area network which are hidden from the Internet world. Also, when public IP addresses not enough, private IP addresses are used while sharing global IP addresses

Router : Router is a network hardware which routes either Private or Public IP address to Public network so that network device between private IP network and Public IP network can communicate over the network. Router has NAT (Network Address

Translation) function and through this function Public IP address will be mapped into private IP network so that Network device in the private IP address can be added from

Internet.

Hub : Hub is a hardware which relay transmission between Router and Network device.

There are two types of Hub. One is Dummy hub and the other one is Switching hub. Note that Hub will be used in the local network only.

NAT (Network Address Translation) : Network Address Translation (NAT) translates multiple IP addressed on the private LAN to one public address that is sent out to the

Internet. This adds a level of security since the address of a PC connected to the private

LAN is never transmitted on the Internet.

18



AOIP (Always On Internet Protocol) Server: AOIP™ server (Always On IP) is run by

Seyeon Technology or its business partner and is a gateway for remote users to access

FlexWATCH™ servers which is connected dynamic IP address over DSL,Cable modem and

PSTN network over the Internet. FlexWATCH™ Network Video Server and Camera Server family is fully supported by AOIP server and any type of IP address(Global Dynamic IP or

Private IP) can be assigned to FlexWATCHTM server and user can access FlexWATCH™ system from the Internet at anytime and anywhere through AOIP server.

2

Check Points before IP assignment

Following are list of item to be checked before you start configuration of

FlexWATCHTM server.

2.1

IP address

You need to have Static IP address and other information such as Default Gateway and

Network Mask which are to be assigned to FlexWATCH

TM

server. Please consult with your network administrator, if FlexWATCH

TM

server is to be installed in your corporate network, or consult with ISP if you want to install it in your home or shop for which DSL or Cable modem Internet service is available.

Following could be a simple way of finding IP address information of your PC and with that information you can set up IP address to FlexWATCH

TM

server in the private IP network without consulting to your ISP.

- Open DOS Command window as following procedure.

Program> Accessories > DOS Prompt

- Enter ‘ ipconfig’ command. Following information will come up

2.1.1

Static IP address enabled PC (DHCP Disabled PC)

You can easily check whether Static IP address is assigned to your PC. If you are in the

Static IP network, it is simpler to assign IP address to FlexWATCH

TM

server than DHCP network.

C:\>

With above info, you can get information about your network from your PC and see which

IP class of IP address should be assigned to FlexWATCH

TM

server.

Note that the same class, but different IP address appeared in your PC must be used for

FlexWATCH

TM

server to assign an IP address from your PC keeping Subnet mask & default gateway as same that of your PC.

For example, 192.168.0.155 or other available IP address except 192.168.0.158 can be assigned to FlexWATCH

TM

server, since it is the same class of your IP address and can be communicated in your local network.

If you want to check out whether 192.168.0.155 is available. Please try ping command in the DOS window. If there is any response, it means 192.168.0.155 is assigned to other network device. Thus, you need to randomly select other IP address and try ping test or consult with your network administrator

C:\>

DHCP Enabled PC

If your PC is set to use DHCP, you need to check out IP address of your PC using

‘ ipconfig’ command at DOS Prompt window.

You need to get IP address from your network administrator to assign it to FlexWATCH

TM server. IP address should be Surplus of IP address which will be not randomly assigned to any network device in your network.

Your network administrator must make sure that IP address should be excluded from IP pool when he configure Router.

Tx Module Registration(NVCP)

Notice

-

If you do not connect FlexWATCH

TM

server to NDVR server, do not set TX module configuration

-

Once Tx Module configuration is done, set up RX module configuration in the

NDVR server as well

Video proxy function is supported by NDVR server such as FW-5440 and FW-5000 server.

By registering FlexWATCH

TM

video server into NDVR server, live video can be recorded in the NDVR server and live view can be accessed through NDVR server web page which means user does not need to separately run web browser to view respective cameras from FlexWATCH

TM

video servers.

TX module registration is to set up the FlexWATCH

TM

server to communicate with FW-

5440 or FW-5000 NDVR server or FW-VSS Proxy Server only. When TX module is enabled at the FlexWATCH

TM

server, RX module at NDVR server side should also be enabled as well.

Two different modes are provided as a connection type. One is Passive and the other is

Active mode. Depending on which device tries to establish the connection to the other party, the connection type will be decided.

Passive mode : NDVR server tries to establish connection to FlexWATCH

TM

server

Active Mode : FlexWATCH

TM

server tries to establish connection to NDVR server

Once connection type is decided in the FlexWATCH

TM

server, the connection type in the

NDVR server should be opposite so that it can communicate with FlexWATCH

TM

server.

For example, once Passive mode is set up in the FlexWATCH

TM

server, Active mode must be set in the NDVR server.

1) Click TX Module registration menu in the System configuration mode of Admin window.

2) Type in NVCP Password in the NVCP Password configuration filed.

46



Notice

NVCP Password is security feature which authenticate server access by RX

module (FW-5440 or 5000 NDVR server) to FlexWATCH

TM

server. Once NVCP Password is configured, that password must be set up in the NDVR server to get video from

FlexWATCH

TM

server. Thus, you must make a note of NVCP password.

3) Select TX Module. By configuring TX module, you can program the server to communicate with different NVR servers. Up to16 different NDVR servers can simultaneously work with FlexWATCH

TM

server.

4) Select Passive or Active Mode depends on the network situation with NDVR server.

5) Once Active mode is selected, type in IP address of NDVR server.

Note

NVCP port should be open to communicate with NDVR Server, when the FlexWATCH

TM server is programmed to communication with NDVR server

Network port configuration

HTTP port, NVCP and VDCP ports are application port through which video and audio data can be transmitted over the TCP/IP network.

3.1

HTTP port configuration

When you need to change Default HTTP Port (#80) to other port, you can change

HTTP port. This is very useful when more than one server should be installed behind a router.

By assigning different HTTP port number for each server and configure port-forwarding feature of Router, you can install more than one server behind the router.

For more information about this, please contact your local vendor.

3.2

NVCP –Tx Port

Tx port is a TCP port number through which FlexWATCH

TM

server can communicate with other devices such as FW-5440 or FW-5000 NDVR servers. This port number is user definable.

NVCP-Tx port must be opened when the FlexWATCH

TM

server transmits data through

Internet in a Passive way (When TX Module Registration is configured as PASSIVE

MODE). When NVCP port is to be used, you must open TCP port in the router as well.

3.3

VDCP Port configuration

VDCP port is UDP port for Voice Communication. By changing VDCP port (Default number is 32001), you can install more than one Voice kit and Video server under the

router.

Note that when Voice Kit is connected to Internet, respective UDP port of the

52



router must be opened.

4

WAN Configuration and Application

Server is designed to make a call to ISP or can receive a call from outside so that server can establish Internet connect to send FTP, e-mail or send video & data through PSTN line or other medium. This is best alternative when the broadband Internet access is not available.

4.1

External Modem connection

Modem has to be connected to AUX Port with RS-232 Serial Cable.

1) Connect your MODEM and AUX Port at FlexWATCH

TM

server with RS-232 Serial cable.

2) Go to Admin Menu >> System Configuration >> Serial Ports Configuration

3) Select ‘Modem’ at AUX mode and click ‘Apply’ button.

4) System reboot will be recommended, then click ‘Reboot’ button.

4.2

Application with Dial-in/out feature

4.2.1

Application with Dial-in

Dial-in is to allow server connection from remote client. This option is useful for the user to connect the server at any time. Especially when the server sends e-mail notification for the alarm and user want to check the situation.

4.2.2

Application with Dial-out

Server can establish the Internet connection through PSTN line and send FTP or e-mail when the alarm condition is triggered by any event.

53



Following can be done through Dial-out function

• Pre/post alarm image sending through e-mail

• Pre/post alarm image sending to FTP server through FTP function

• Establish connection with AOIP server : when the event is happened, server can send e-mail notification for the alarm and can keep the connection with AOIP server, not terminating the connection with ISP.

Thus, you can quickly connect the server through AOIP server and view live video. The

key benefit of using AOIP connection is to view live video without making a separate call to FlexWATCH

TM

server whenever there is alarm and you can easily access the server. If you are running FW-Manager software, live video will be automatically display on the FWmanager screen when there is any alarm.

4.3

Dial Out configuration

This is to set up the system to make a call to ISP when the dial out condition is activated to transmit live video or send e-mail or FTP image.

4.3.1

Dial-up through Standard modem

Dial-out through standard PSTN modem is quite common and general.

1) Connect the server to PSTN line through RS-232 cable. Connect the cable to COM Port or server. Use the standard D-Sub 9pin connector provided by PSTN modem.

2) Go to [WAN (PPP, Modem, etc)] menu in the Network configuration mode

3) Select “PPP client” option and fill out the option field.

54



PPP Client :

This means that FlexWATCH

TM

server act as client and call out to ISP.\

PPP Server :

This means that FlexWATCH

TM

server acts as a Server and receives a call from remote user.

Tel#, User ID and User password :

ISP phone number and user account for Internet connection to ISP.

Default Route :

Enable this option. When Dial-out option is selected.

Note

If you use external modem, we recommend ‘3COM U.S.Robotics 56K’ external modem for better performance, although FlexWATCH

TM

server is designed to flexibly work with different external modem from different manufacturer. If you are to use different external modem from different manufacturer, we recommend you to contact your distributor or contact [email protected]

to choose compatible modem.

4.3.2

Dial-Out through Media specific device

Dial-out can be done through specific media which is not standard PSTN such as CDMA modem, GSM or GPRS Modem or any type of wireless modem.

55



This mode is not for general users. Thus, if you need to connect special modem device, please contact your vendor or manufacturer for more information, [email protected]

4.4

Dial-in Configuration

Dial-in is to allow client PC to call into the server and get live video through PSTN line.

Overall configuration is very similar to that of Dial-out configuration. But much more simple than Dial-out.

1) Go to [WAN (PPP, Modem, etc)] menu in the Network configuration mode.

2) Select “PPP Server”. This is to authenticate incoming call to server from remote client.

3) Check Authenticate more as none.

4) Configure User ID and Password, if you need to set up authenticate mode

5) Click [Apply] button and quit configuration menu.

Local IP address and Remote IP address

When remote client is connected to the server through modem connection, physical line connection will be done. But no way to view live video unless client runs the web browser of the FlexWATCH

TM

server.

Local IP address and Remote IP address is virtual IP address which is used at the time of

56



Modem connection only

Local IP address :

System default IP address (192.168.2.1) resides in the FlexWATCH

TM

server for modem

connection only. So when you connect the FlexWATCH

TM server from remote PC using dial-up networking and physical connection is made, you need to run your web browser and enter this system default IP address(192.168.2.1) to view live video. You can change this system default IP address as well. But it is recommended not to change system default IP address for modem connection to prevent any possible error.

Remote IP address :

IP address which is automatically given to remote client PC by FlexWATCH

TM

server when

FlexWATCH

TM

server is connected by remote client PC using dial-up networking. This IP address (192.168.2.2) is for data communication between FlexWATCH

TM

server and

Remote client PC. So you do not need to change this IP address. But if you change default IP address of FlexWATCH

TM

server (192.168.2.1) for modem connection to different class of IP address, you need to change remote IP address to the same class of IP to match the IP class.

Note that when Local IP address is change, remote IP address should be changed into the same class of the IP address.

5

Service Path

This is to specify service path through which server can send any information to target device.

1) Go to Service path menu in the service configuration mode

2) Select “Modem”, if any data should be sent through PSTN or external modem device and click “Apply” button.

57



LAN : This is default path the send any data to outside.

Modem : when PSTN or other medium than LAN is used to send data to outside. This service port must be checked when any data is to be sent through PSTN or other medium than LAN which is connected to COM port.

Note

Service path must be set up and checked before starting WAN configuration to send any data through external PSTN modem connection or equivalent

If LAN is to be used, select “None(LAN)” option.

6

AOIP Setup

AOIP (Always-On-IP) is an IP gateway through which user can access the FlexWATCH™ server when it is connected to Dynamic IP address. Thus, if the server should be connected to the Dynamic IP network and you want to view live video from anywhere, it is the right solution for you.

Advanced Service configuration

Advanced service configuration is intended to provide more sophisticated functions which are required by sophisticated users. Thus, if you are not familiar with or not good at advanced features, we recommend you to read this guide carefully and consult with your local vendor to get more close information about these features.

Advanced service can be categorized into Buffering service and None buffering

service depending on whether server stores pre/post alarm video in the system memory.

Buffering service means that the server can store pre/post alarm image in the system memory and send stored image through FTP or e-mail or allow user to view stored image inside of memory. With this feature user can get pre/post alarm image through e-mail or

FTP without missing any video before and after the event or playback stored Alarm buffered image by connecting the server.

None buffering service means that Advance service will be done without image buffering inside of the memory. FTP(Periodic), Sensor notification service and Alarm output device control can be provided as a none buffering service option.

1

Buffering Service

Following services can be done by image buffering services.

e-mail : Up to 10 frame of Pre/post alarm image can be sent when there is event is occurred.

FTP (Rising or Falling edge) : Up to 256 frames of pre/post alarm image per video channel can be sent to ftp server when the event is occurred.

Alarm buffering service :

Pre configured number of Pre/post alarm image will be stored in the system memory and user can playback stored image through web browser.

Steps to use Buffering service

Following is a step to configure and use Buffering services

A. System memory allocation : This is to allocated limited system memory for e-mail

& ftp and Alarm buffering service

76



B. Pre alarm buffer size : Once memory allocation is done, assign Pre alarm buffer

size (Pre alarm image buffer pool) to be used for e-mail, FTP and Alarm buffering services. Any pre alarm buffer for respective e-mail, ftp and Alarm buffering services can be done within Pre alarm buffer size.

C. Pre/Post alarm for respective service : Once Pre Alarm Buffer Size is decided, go to respective e-mail, ftp and alarm buffering service menu and configure the options.

1.1

System and Pre Alarm Buffer memory

1.1.1

System Memory allocation

The number of Pre/Post alarm image for advanced services should be pre-defined to effectively use the limited memory capacity.

Total Buffer size :

This shows the maxim system memory for alarm buffering services.

The number of maximum total buffer frame for respective services can be decided by following formula

Total buffer size / file size = number of total buffer frame e.g) 500 KB / 10KB = 500 frames which is possible total buffer size.

Total Pre-alarm Buffer size :

This is to assign memory space for the services that Pre Alarm video buffer is required such as e-mail and FTP (Edge service) and Alarm buffering service. Once it is configured, pre alarm buffer size for respective camera can be done within this assigned memory.

Note that Pre Alarm buffer for even Alarm buffering service can be done within this

77


Network Video Server User’s Manual memory size.

Thus, you need to be careful to assign memory for this service. The rest of memory after setting up Alarm buffer service memory capacity will be assigned to this service configuration

Alarm Buffering Service size :

To assign memory for Alarm buffering service to save pre/post alarm image in the system memory so that user can playback stored video in the system through web browser or download it. Note that Pre alarm buffer for Alarm buffering service can

be done within the Pre-alarm Buffer size. Thus, you need to count in required pre alarm buffer for alarm buffering service and reserve enough space for this service in the

Pre-alarm Buffer size.

1.1.2

Pre alarm buffer size

Pre alarm buffer size (Image Buffer Pool) means the number of images to be stored

and continuously refreshed in the system memory.

Maximum Pre alarm buffer should be the half size of Memory capacity, since Pre alarm images for e-mail, FTP or alarm buffering service are taken from Pre alarm buffer pool and any Pre alarm image for these services require additional

memory space.

Pre-alarm Buffer size :

This is to assign pre-alarm image buffer for each camera. Once this is configured, the maximum number of pre alarm for e-mail, ftp or Alarm buffering service (Pre alarm only) can be done with this buffer size, if there is enough memory space for respective services.

Note that there must be enough memory space left for e-mail, ftp and Alarm Buffering

78


Network Video Server User’s Manual service (Pre alarm only), since respective service (e-mail, ftp or Alarm buffering service) consumes separate memory in addition to pre alarm buffer size configured to make a real service.

Delay between pre-alarm image :

This is the set up pre alarm speed when the server store image in the system memory.

1000mse is equal to 1sec and basic unit is 10msec. If you want to get 10fps prealarm speed, 10 will be very appropriate number for Delay value.

* Maximum Pre alarm buffer should be the half size of Total Pre Alarm buffer size memory assigned in the system, since Pre alarm images for e-mail, FTP or alarm buffering service are taken from Pre alarm buffer pool and any Pre alarm image for these services require additional memory space.

1) Go to Advance service mode in the Service configuration section

2) Go to “Buffering service” mode

3) Set up pre-alarm Buffer size and delay time.

4) Click “Buffer Calculator” button to run the calculator.

1.2

Buffer calculator

Through “Buffer Calculator” option, you can easily calculate assignable pre/post alarm buffer size for each channel before setting up Pre/Post alarm buffer frame in the system memory.

Following is logic for Pre/Post alarm assignment. By running buffer calculator you can try pre/post alarm size.

Total buffer size 23500 kb

Total Pre-alarm buffer size

Alarm buffering service size

(40%)

(60%)

• Total Buffer size is variable depending on the memory used by the system

79



-

Total number of Pre Alarm+ Post Alarm for FTP per channel < 256 frame.

-

Total number of Pre + Post alarm for e-mail per channel <10 frames for channel.

-

Pre alarm frame for FTP & e-Mail and Alarm buffer service shall be done within Total pre-alarm buffer size

-

Post alarm for FTP & e-mail has nothing to do with Total buffer size.

-

Post alarm for Alarm buffering service can be done within the Memory

allowed by Alarm buffering service size.

-

The ratio of sum in the Buffer Calculator should be less than 100%.
