System Installation The notices and introduction on system installation will be described particularly in this chapter. Please follow the description to operate the unit. In order to prevent the unit from data loss and system damage that caused by a sudden power fluctuation, use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is highly recommended 2.1 Position the Unit Firstly, note to position / mount the Dyna Guard TM 200 series unit in a proper place and be sure to power off the unit before making connections. The placed location should avoid hindering or blocking the unit from airflow. Enough airflow is needed to protect the unit from overheating. The maximum allowable temperature of operating environment is 40°C. The unit utilizes heat-conducting techniques to transfer internal heat to the case, especially to the bottom side of the unit. NOTE: Be sure not to remove the rubber feet, and always leave a space for air ventilation on the unit’s bottom side. 2.2 Selecting Video Format The Dyna Guard TM 200 series unit is designed to operate under either NTSC or PAL video formats. Please contact with a qualified service person to perform the installation procedure. 2.3 Connecting Devices to the Unit This section lists some notices that should be given before making any connections to the Dyna Guard TM 200 series unit. www.dynacolor.com.tw 18 All rights reserved User’s Manual NOTE: Connect short-term devices, such as USB ThumbDrive, USB CD-RW, USB Hard Disk Drive, etc., only after the unit is successfully powered up. Connecting Required Devices Before power up the unit, you should connect cameras and a main monitor to the unit for basic operation. If needed, connect a call monitor for displaying full screen video of all installed cameras in sequence. Connecting Short-term Device If you plan to install any short-term devices to the Dyna Guard TM 200 series and use them as part of the unit system, such as USB CD-RW, USB Hard Disk Drive, etc. Make sure connecting those devices only during the unit is powered up.

To properly operate a web server, e.g. a DVR, the user has to set up both the IP and port of the DVR, which are essential for data and command transmission. The port setting is adjustable in OSD setup menu of DVR and only one port is needed to do remote operation. Typically and by the default, the DVR operates on port 80, which is well known as the http port. Please make sure that port 80 is not blocked by your ISP or you will have to find another available port and change the setting of the DVR. In case a router, or sometimes a DSL modem is in place, the real IP is now assigned to the router instead of the DVR. The DVR is located behind the wall (router) and operates on virtual IP. In most cases, virtual IP starts with 192.168.x.x. The router has two IPs- one is real IP (WAN IP), the other is virtual IP (LAN IP). The virtual IP would be 192.168.x.1. When the remote user wants to operate the DVR, he will have to send command to the real IP, i.e. the router, the router has to map (forward the command to the DVR. Thus it is required to set up the router for port mapping (forwarding) before you can see image remotely from your DVR. See your router manufacturer's websites for more instructions on port mapping. Following is an example of how the router should be set. www.dynacolor.com.tw 151 All rights reserved User’s Manual Router (D-Link DI-724P+) WAN IP: 218.160.54.13 LAN IP: 192.168.0.1 PC IP: 192.168.0.100 DVR 1 IP: 192.168.0.167 Trigger port: 80 DVR 2 IP: 192.168.0.200 Trigger port: 81 • To change the setting of the router, you need a PC with web browser. • Connect to D-Link DI-724P+ from PC via IE. The setup screen will show after entering the correct user name and password. • Click the <Advanced> tab and follow the steps to set up web port forward to DVR 1. A. Select the <Enabled> to set up the service. B. Enter the name of the setting in the Name field: DVR 1. C. Enter Private IP: 167 D. Choose <TCP> as the Protocol Type. E. Enter Private Port: 80. F.
