Appendix B: Connecting the Optional DX8108/DX8116-MUX Card This appendix describes how to connect an analog monitor to the optional DX8108-MUX/DX8116-MUX Card to view real-time video on an analog monitor. The MUX Card also displays real-time video on the VGA monitor. This is accomplished internally to the DX8100 and therefore no external connection is required. For information about installing the MUX Card in the DX8100, refer to the DX8100 8/16-Channel MUX Card Installation manual (C2665M).

Appendix C: Connecting Audio Devices This appendix describes how to connect audio devices to the DX8100. Before using the audio recording features of the DX8100, consult the applicable laws regarding audio surveillance recording for your location. SETTING UP STANDARD AUDIO INPUTS The DX8100 provides two standard audio line in and microphone inputs that support 2-channel (right/left) audio recording. Use a miniature phone plug to connect audio devices to the DX8100.
PAGE 69
2. Connect each of the 8 or 16 RCA-type audio connectors to a line-level (+4 dB) gain audio source. Refer to Figure 92. The DX8108-AUD/DX8116-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 DX8100’s audio inputs.
PAGE 70
SETTING UP AUDIO OUTPUT The DX8100 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 DX8100 be connected to an amplifier in order to boost the output signal to a level that is sufficient to drive a speaker. Figure 94 illustrates an example of an audio output configuration. Some speaker systems integrate both amplifiers and speakers in a single unit.
PAGE 71
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 DX8100 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.
PAGE 72
SOFTWARE SETUP FOR A USB CONNECTED UPS DEVICE To set up a USB connected UPS device: 1. Log in as an Administrator level user if you are not already. 2. Exit the DX8100 application and return to Windows operating system (refer to Exiting to Windows Operating System). 3. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. The Control Panel opens. Figure 95. 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.
PAGE 73
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 97.

Appendix E: External Storage Expansion Using DX9200HDDI The DX9200HDDI can increase the DX8100’s storage capacity by up to 3.5 TB. This option is available for an 8- and 16-channel system. The DX9200HDDI is used for offline backup or realtime video storage. When used as a real time storage device, the frame rate of each channel on the DX8100 must adhere to the following: • 8-channel DVRs: Less than or equal to 30 images per second (ips). • 16-channel DVRs: Less than or equal to 24 ips.

Appendix F: Connecting a KBD300A Keyboard This section describes how to connect the KBD300A keyboard to the DX8100 DVR. The KBD300A allows you to control DX8100 display and camera functions. For example, you can select cameras from the site tree, select view panes and divisions, zoom in and out, and control PTZ operation from the KBD300A keyboard rather than a mouse. Installation of the KBD300A is accomplished in two steps: • Hardware installation, which is described in this section.
PAGE 76
REQUIRED ITEMS You must have the following items to connect the KBD300A to the DX8100 DVR: • KBD300A keyboard with firmware release version 5.0 or greater: For more information about the KBD300A, refer to the Installation/ Operation KBD300A Universal Keyboard manual. • KBDKIT series remote wiring kit: For more information about the KBDKIT, refer to KBDKIT Series Remote Keyboard Wiring Kit. • User-supplied Category 5 straight-through RJ-45 data cable.
PAGE 77
4. Connect the RJ-45 data cable from the wall block to a DX8100 RS-422 port (Port 1–4). Figure 100. Connecting the KBD300A to the DX8100 SELECTING THE KBD300A OPERATIONAL MODE You use the KBD300A’s DIP switch to set the keyboard’s address and select the operational mode. • Only one KBD300A is attached to the DX8100 at any one time. • The DX8100 only supports the KBD300A CM6700 mode. DIP switch positions 1–4 are used to set the keyboard’s address.

Appendix G: Connecting ATM/POS Devices DX8100 version 2.0 supports connection to ATM/POS equipment using the AVE VSI-Pro. The VSI-Pro is designed to interface with many different types of cash registers and POS equipment and allows you to program the VSI-Pro to match your register's communications settings. The VSI-Pro handles the data communication between the ATM/POS device and DX8100, providing a standard compatible RS-422/RS-485 and RS-232 interface to the DX8100.
PAGE 79
CONNECTING ATM/POS HARDWARE This section describes how to connect ATM/POS devices to the DX8100 server using the VSI-PRO. Direct connection between an ATM/POS device and the DX8100 without using the VSI-PRO is not supported. Go to URL http://www.Americanvideoequipment.com/technical_support/vsi_compatibility.htm to verify that your ATM/POS device is listed in the VSI Compatibility table.

SETTING UP A RS-232 ATM/POS DEVICE CONFIGURATION This section describes how to set up a RS-232 ATM/POS device configuration. You use the RS-232 ATM/POS device configuration to record searchable ATM/POS data that is synchronized with recorded video. In this configuration, the camera is connected directly to the DX8100 camera input. The ATM/POS data is routed through the VSI-PRO to the DX8100 RS-232 communications port. ATM/POS output is recorded by the DX8100 as data.
