NETWORK SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION Using the TCP/IP protocol, up to five DX8000 Series DVRs can be networked together for remote viewing and management. In addition, up to five simultaneous PC, web, and mobile clients can connect to each DVR. The DX8000 Series DVR supports both static IP addressing and dynamic addressing through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Consult your network administrator for more information regarding IP address configuration.
DHCP SETUP To configure the DVR to acquire a dynamic IP address through DHCP: 1. Click the check box labeled Obtain An IP Address Automatically (DHCP). NOTE: Your network must support DHCP, and an active DHCP server must be present for dynamic addressing to work. Consult your network administrator for more information. 2. Click Apply. Figure 29.
STATIC IP SETUP To set up a static IP address, enter the following information in the fields provided. This information can be obtained from your network administrator. 1. Verify that the Obtain An IP Address Automatically (DHCP) check box is not selected. 2. Enter a unique IP address (for example, 10.0.0.101). The last three digits must be different for each recorder (for example, 101, 102, 103, and so forth). 3. Enter the subnet mask (for example, 255.0.0.0). 4.
TCP/IP PORT AND BANDWIDTH THROTTLE SETUP The DX8000 uses the TCP/IP networking protocol to communicate over LAN and WAN networks. TCP/IP uses logical network ports to organize data transmissions and to ensure that data packets are delivered to the proper application. For example, e-mail is traditionally delivered through TCP/IP port 25 and web pages through port 80.
To configure TCP/IP ports and bandwidth throttle: 1. If necessary, enter a new base port number. (9002 is the default) NOTE: Consult your network administrator when assigning or changing the port numbers. Make sure that ports are not blocked by a firewall. 2. If necessary, enter a new software upgrade port. (9003 is the default) 3. Drag the network bandwidth throttle slider to the desired value. (Client bandwidth can be adjusted from a minimum of 256 Kbps to a maximum of 10 Mbps in increments of 256 Kbps.
ACCESSING NETWORK INFORMATION To access network information such as IP and default gateway addresses: 1. Click Network Information. The IP Configuration status box is displayed. Figure 32. IP Configuration Status Box 2. Click OK to return to the Network page. Changes in network settings may not show up immediately in the IP Configuration status box. Allow up to 30 minutes for settings to update or reboot your DVR for settings to change immediately.
DNS/WINS SETUP If your network supports DNS or WINS services, follow the instructions below: 1. Click the DNS/WINS tab. 2. If you are using dynamic IP addressing through a DHCP server, click the “Obtain DNS/WINS info from DHCP” check box. 3. If you are using static IP addressing, provide the following information in the appropriate fields. This information can be obtained from your network administrator. • Primary DNS server IP address. • Secondary DNS server IP address.
RS-422/RS-485 COMMUNICATION PORT SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION NOTE: The system must be powered on, and you must be logged in as a Power User or Administrator to configure communication port settings.

Audio and video inputs are configured in a one-to-one relationship. For example, audio input seven corresponds to video channel seven.
2. Connect each of the eight RCA-type audio connectors to a line-level (+4 dB) gain audio source. Refer to Figure 83. IMPORTANT: The DX8000-AUD option accepts an unbalanced, line-level audio signal only. Line-level signaling requires a voltage between -1 V and +1 V into an impedance of 1 kΩ or more. This means that the output of most microphones will be too low to function when connected directly to the DX8000’s audio inputs.
SETTING UP AUDIO OUTPUT The DX8000 delivers a line-level monaural signal through a standard 0.125-inch phone jack on the rear panel of the DVR. It is recommended that the audio output of the DX8000 be connected to an amplifier in order to boost the output signal to a level that is sufficient to drive a speaker. Figure 85 illustrates an example of an audio output configuration. NOTE: Some speaker systems integrate both amplifiers and speakers in a single unit.
Appendix D: Connecting an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) If uninterrupted operation is desired and the power grid cannot provide adequate uptime, it is highly recommended that each DX8000 Series DVR be connected to a UPS device (not supplied). A UPS device will supply a limited amount of battery backup power in the event of a power failure. Each UPS device should be configured to shut down its corresponding DVR safely during an extended period on battery power.
SOFTWARE SETUP FOR A USB CONNECTED UPS DEVICE 1. Log in as an Administrator level user if you are not already. 2. Exit the DX8000 application and return to Windows operating system (refer to Exiting to Windows Operating System on page 27). 3. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. The Control Panel opens. Figure 87. Control Panel Window with Power Options Selected 4. Double-click Power Options. The Power Options Properties dialog box opens.
5. Click the Alarms tab. 6. Adjust the Critical Battery Alarm slider to the desired power level threshold. NOTE: The slider can be adjusted to signal an alarm when UPS battery power falls below the level you select. It is suggested that you set the value that provides at least five minutes of power in order to shut down the DX8000 safely. Refer to the documentation supplied with your UPS to determine the percentage value that will provide at least five minutes of reserve power. 7.
8. Select the “When the alarm goes off, the computer will:” check box under “Power level.” 9. Select Power Off from the drop-down list. 10. Click OK. 11. Click Apply. 12. Click OK. Figure 89.
Appendix E: External Storage Expansion Using DX9200HDDI BASIC INSTALLATION The DX9200HDDI can increase the DX8000’s storage capacity by up to 3.2 TB. The external IDE RAID is connected to the DX8000’s optional SCSI interface by a 50-pin to 68-pin SCSI cable, included with the DX9200HDDI. The DX9200HDDI option is available for DX8008-080 and DX8016-080 systems that are preconfigured at the factory. IMPORTANT: • The DX9200HDDI can be used for either offline backup storage or real-time video storage.
2. Refer to the documentation that accompanies the DX9200HDDI for additional information on installing and operating the unit. 3. Return unit to service. NOTE: Initialization of the DX9200HDDI’s RAID 5 array may take up to 24 hours. While the unit can be placed into service immediately, system performance may suffer until array initialization is complete.
Follow the steps below after the PDB Initialize dialog box opens, and perform the following steps to finalize storage setup: a.
