Connect the Power Supply
Attach the external power supply to the DC power socket (labeled 12V
1.25A) and plug the two-pronged adapter into an AC power outlet.
Alternatively, the DVS-310-1 may be powered via PoE Ethernet cable.In this
case, the supplied power adapter should not be connected.
When the DVS-310-1 is receiving power, the green power LED will be lit.
Connect the Ethernet Cable
Connect a CAT5 Ethernet cable to the LAN port of the Video Encoder.
Connect the opposite end of the CAT5 cable to an active network device
such as a hub, switch, or router.
Insert an SD Card (Optional)
Insert an SD card with the gold contacts of the card facing upwards. Push
the card into the slot until you feel it click into place.
Connect Additional Peripheral Devices (Optional)
If desired, you may also connect audio equipment such as a microphone or
speaker to the AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT ports respectively. DI/DO devices
and PTZ controls may also be connected.
Troubleshooting
1. Why is the Power LED not lighting up?
The power supply used might be at fault. Confirm that you are using the provided power supply, which is
DC 12V, for the Video Encoder. Also verify that the power supply is securely connected. If the device is
functioning but the LED is not illuminated, the LED may be disabled. Open the firewall configuration page
and click MAINTENANCE. At the bottom of the page, there will be an option to turn on or turn off the LED.
2. Why does the Video Encoder work locally but not remotely?
This might be caused by firewall protection. Check with your system administrator to see if you are behind a
firewall. The firewall may need to have some settings changed in order for the Video Encoder to be accessible
outside your LAN. Make sure that the Video Server is not conflicting with any Web server you may have running
on your network. The default router setting might be another possible reason. Check that the configuration of
your router's settings allow the Video Encoder to be accessed outside your local LAN.
3. Why are no images available through the Web browser?
ActiveX controls might be disabled within Internet Explorer. Check that ActiveX has been enabled in the Internet
Options menu. You may also need to change the security settings on your browser to allow the ActiveX plug-in
to be installed. If you are using a version of Internet Explorer before version 6.0, you will need to upgrade
Internet Explorer in order to view the streaming video transmitted by the Video Encoder.
