DS2 Network Guide
Note: It is possible to identify the host information, as displayed on the web page, within the
hosts le in the \etc directory.
To congure the remote alarm station information using the web interface:
1. Select Alarms/VMD -> Alarm/VMD Reporting.
2. Enter the IP address of the primary remote host, this is required for connections via the
network and via the serial ports.
3. When making a connection via the Ethernet network enter Ethernet to identify the
medium by which the connection will be made. Alternatively for dial up connections via
the modem enter the username previously congured in the ‘proles’ le, the example
above would result in the prole entry being dm.
4. Enter the IP address of the secondary host; this is in case the primary host can not be
contacted.
5. Enter the medium how the unit will connect to the host; Ethernet or the username as
identied in the ‘proles’ le.
6. When using NAT enter the IP address that will be used for the public address.
7. Enter the video server port number when port forwarding is required.
8. Identify the Unit Alarm name; this is the name that will be presented to the remote alarm
station and must match the name that has been allocated in their site tree.
9. For the system to dial on alarm, system startup, alarm tamper and camera fail these
functions must be enabled, place a tick in the box associated with the function.
10. Enter the time delay between the unit trying to connect to the remote monitoring station
after a failed connection.
11. Enter the number of times the unit is to re-try to connect to the remote monitoring
station, a value of 0 means no limit is set and therefore the unit will continue to re-try
until a connection is made, this should be taken into account when using a dial up
connection.
12. This telnet server port is the port that the receiving station will have allocated to list for
alarm message from the unit, if these port addresses do not match the function will not
operate.
13. Save the conguration by selecting Save Settings!
Note: It is necessary to have a separate ‘telserver’ application enabled when using NetVu
ObserVer or have the telserver function on the DS2 Viewer software enabled on the PC that
will be utilised for remote alarm monitoring, refer to the Viewer manuals for more detailed
information.
Note: For conguration via the OSD refer to Appendix G where all menu options are described.
14. It is necessary to congure the PPP settings on the unit, select Network -> Network
Settings, enter the PPP IP address.
Note: The PPP IP address must be in the same network range as the Alarm Receiving Centre.
15. Enter the PPP Idles Line Timeout and the PPP Link Down Timer to determine how
the unit will transmit information via PPP, these settings should be discussed with the
Network Manager.
