Step 3. Install IPAdmin Tool
The IPAdminTool is a utility for conguring the network settings of your Digiop Black encoders and
installing new rmware. It can be loaded on a Microsoft Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 operating
system. At a computer on the same LAN (subnet) where your encoders will be installed, do the following:
1. Insert the CD mini disk provided with your camera into your computer’s CD ROM drive and open the
CD in a Windows Explorer window.
2. Find the IPAdminTool directory on the CD.
3. Copy the IPAdminTool directory with its contents to your computer hard drive.
Step 4. Configure the network settings of you encoder
When your IP encoder is attached to a network and initially powered on, it attempts acquire compatible
network settings from a DHCP server. If it cannot nd a DHCP server, it congures itself with the following
static (xed) settings, which may or may not be compatible with other devices on the network.
IP address: 192.168.0.100
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Your encoder must be congured with static network settings that are compatible with the LAN. If your
LAN has a DHCP server, use the following sub-step. Otherwise, use the sub-step procedure below for LANs
without DHCP.
Installing encoders on LANs with DHCP
1. Connect your encoder to the LAN, then power on the encoder.
2. Open the directory IPAdminTool directory on your computer, then double click the le
IPAdminTool.exe to start the application. When the IPAdmin Tool starts, it will discover all the IP
devices it supports that exist on the network. The discovery process may take a few minutes.
Review the list of IP devices found by IPAdmin Tool. You can identify your encoder by the MAC
address. If the encoder was not found, click the Refresh button every minute until your encoder
appears in the list.
3. After nding your encoder, right click the entry, then select IP Address from the drop-down list. An
IP Setup window will open.
Static Option
4. In the IP Setup window, click the Static option bullet. If you have other compatible network settings
you want to apply to the device, enter them in the appropriate locations. Click Setup to save
settings.

Quick Installation Guide
This document guides you through the basic steps to install and congure your Digiop® Black BLK-IPE101 IP
encoder. For detailed instructions, refer to the User Manual.
Find the encoder’s MAC address on the product label and enter it here: __________________
Step 1. Install the encoder
Mount the encoder in a secure location using the hardware installation kit provided. The kit includes
mounting brackets that slip onto the sides of the encoder.
Connect an analog signal source (camera video) to the Vin BNC connector on the front of the encoder.
Connections to the encoder for audio in and out (microphone and speaker), D/I sensor, alarm, video out
BNC, RS-232C, and RS-485 control are made through two 9-pin terminal blocks.
Attach peripheral devices to the terminal blocks as shown below. For detailed interface specications, refer
to the user manual.
Attach the video stream from your analog camera to the encoder Vin BNC connector.
Step 2. Connect the encoder to the LAN
Attach the network LAN cable to the RJ-45 connector on the encoder backpanel.
If the encoder is not powered through the Ethernet (PoE), attach the DC12V adapter to the power connector
on the encoder and plug the power adapter into a power source. DO NOT apply power to the encoder at
this time.
