21.1 
General Network 
Requirements 
A standard 10/100 Base T network supporting 
the TCP/IP protocol can be used. (Our testing 
was done over a Microsoft network.) Dial-up 
networking and internet connections are also 
supported. 
These items must be set up by the network 
administrator: 
• Applicable PCs must have access to (and be 
identified on) the network. This includes 
assigning a PC name and workgroup; 
• Applicable persons must have been set up 
to log onto the Windows network; 
• For logging directly onto a workstation 
running Windows (2000/XP), persons must 
have permissions to access any required 
folders and programs on the PC. 
21.2 
IP Addressing on the Network 
The Video Server must be assigned a 
'static' IP address on the network. This is 
done by a network support/admin. person. 
With the "Alarm Alert" feature, the remote 
station must also have a fixed/static IP 
address. 
Note: For cameras and recorded videos to be 
available, the Video Server must be running and 
logged onto the Network, and the NetVision 
software must be running (NetVision login optional). 
Tip: You can test a network connection by 'pinging' 
the Video Server from the remote station. (To 
determine the IP address when 'at' the Video 
Server: [Start], Run, "ipconfig".) Then, 
(DOS/Command prompt), "Ping"  ServerIP 
(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and watch for "Reply", as opposed 
to "Timed Out". 
Proxy Server: If your network includes a proxy 
server, you adsfasdfasdfasdfmay need to 'tell' 
windows not to go through the proxy server to 
access the Video Server IP address (i.e., at each 
remote station on the network). Details: [Start] 
ÖSettings  ÖControl Panel  ÖInternet Options 
ÖConnections  Ö[LAN Settings]  Ö[Advanced]. 
Then, enter the IP address(es) in the area under 
"Do not use Proxy Server...". Tips: You can use 
an asterisk (*) as a wild-card. For multiple entries, 
separate with a semicolon (;). e.g., 
555.444.333.*;999.888.777.6 
21.3 
Network Services 
These services must also be present (check 
with your network administrator): 
• TCP/IP; 
•  Client for Microsoft Networks; 
•  File and Printer Sharing. 
21.4 
Network Ports 
The following network 'ports' must be available. 
Check with your network administrator to 
ensure these ports are available:
