Configuration 67 SYSTEM CONTROLLERS – Definition Field Data IPA Unique Internet Protocol Address assigned by the system administrator. Dotted decimal, 15 characters. Example: 128.010.050.125. Each of the four groups of numbers with values between 0 and 255. Depending on the model number chosen, the following will apply: WV-CU350: If this controller is not connected to an RS485 Expander Unit, use the default IPA. If this controller is connected to an RS485 Expander Unit, enter the IPA for the expander unit. WV-CU360: If this controller is not connected to an RS485 Expander Unit, use the default IPA. If this controller is connected to an RS485 Expander Unit, enter the IPA for the expander unit. WV-CU850: A unique IPA is necessary within the scheme of the MCPU interface IPA. PFW100 [CU350]: Same as the WV-CU350. PFW100 [CU850]: Same as the WV-CU850. PFW850: Enter the IPA of the desktop computer where the PFW850 is installed, making sure it is within the scheme of the MCPU interface IPA. RS-232: If this controller is not connected to an RS485 Expander Unit, use the default IPA. If this controller is connected to an RS485 Expander Unit, enter the IPA for the expander unit. ActiveX: Enter the IPA of the desktop computer that ActiveX is running from, making sure it is within the scheme of the MCPU interface IPA. EA Numeric address for an Ethernet controller. This field is only required if Model WV-CU850 is chosen. Dotted hexadecimal Example: 23.56.82.13.60.82 (Also known as MAC address.) Use all zeroes if not using DHCP. Port Numeric identifier of the port used by an RS-485 controller (CU350, CU360, and PFW100A) (port 1-12) or RS232 controller (Port 1,2, or 3). Match the data port that this keyboard is connected and use the proper IPA for the MCPU default or RS485 Expander Unit. This port address will be unique within the IPA specified for the MCPU or RS485 Expander. Location A practical name that will identify where this controller can be found. Alphanumeric, 16 characters. Name A name for the controller, easy to remember, and practical. Alphanumeric, 16 characters. Ser. Manufacturer’s serial number. Alphanumeric, 16 characters. Permissions Modify or copy system controller permissions in the same manner described in the Camera Permissions section, beginning on page 57. The Cam Ctrl permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny a system controller the ability to control specific cameras. The Modes section of each of the permissions tabs is described on page 13 Copying Cam Ctrl permissions to other system controllers will also copy Cam View permissions to the specified controller. Allowing a system controller to control a certain camera will automatically allow the same controller to view the specified camera.
Configuration 68 The permission grid’s dimensions are based on the maximum capacity for the chosen CPU size, not on physically installed components already in the database. The Cam View permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny a controller to view specific cameras. Copying Cam View permissions to other system controllers will also copy Cam Ctrl permissions to the specified controllers. Denying a system controller to view a certain camera will automatically deny the same controller to control the specified camera. The Monitor permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny a controller’s ability to seize a specific monitor. A monitor ID, if unknown, can be determined by its area and local number, by entering each value into the appropriate boxes, and then clicking the “Search for Monitor by Area & Local” button. The Group Seq (not currently supported) permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny a controller’s ability to control a group sequence. If the group sequence ID is unknown, you can enter the area and local numbers of the sequence in the appropriate boxes, and click the “Search for Group Seq by Area & Local” button. The Alarm permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny a controller’s ability to seize a specific alarm. The Recorder permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny a controller’s ability to seize a specific recorder (see section on Digital Recorders) The Alarm I/O permission tabs allows an administrator to permit or deny a controller’s ability to seize a specific IO port.
Configuration 69 Digital Recorders The NSS can utilize the features of digital video recorders, once they are defined by the Admin Console. Cameras connected to the digital recorders are configured to the video input channel they are using. Definition Tab 1. Select the Digital Recorders command from the Component menu Add, edit, or delete recorder records as necessary using the three icons at the bottom of the window. Each field preceded by purple text on your computer’s display must be given a unique number - different from other configured digital recorder records.
Configuration 70 DIGITAL RECORDERS - Definition Field Data ID Unique record ID assigned by Admin Console as a Digital Recorder is added, in order to identify one recorder to the system. 1 to 64. Admin Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order. Upon adding recorders, the system will automatically assign the next available number. Component ID and sequence ID numbers are used primarily in the permission tabs to identify one component or sequence from another in row and column style. Since logical and local numbers are not necessarily unique or consecutive; and the permission grids are displayed as consecutive, unique numbers; Admin Console generates these ID numbers. Switch The switch type for an MPU955 system is always a digital switch. Logical Unique number assigned by an NSS administrator, usually designated by combining two references, such as having the first 2 digits represent a logical group (such as a group of recorders surveying a loading dock), and up to three serial digits assigned for other logical reasons. 1 to 99,999. Examples: 8 4 001, 84002, 84003, 84004; 3 6 001, 36002, 36003, 36004. An operator will select recorders to view by this logical number. VPort Port on the video crosspoint input board that is connected to the output from the recorder. IPA Unique Internet Protocol address assigned by the system administrator. Dotted decimal, 15 characters (including dots). Example: 128.010.050.125 Digital Bitrate Choose from the dropdown the bitrate that the recorder will support. Ser. (optional) The serial number of the recorder. Model Choose the recorder model from the dropdown. Admin Console uses this information to determine the total number of available channels.
Configuration 71 Channels Tab Each digital recorder provides a number of video channels (depending on the model of recorder). The Channels tab is used to specify which camera is connected to each of the recorder’s channels. 1. Double-click in the blank field of the channel number you want to specify a camera for 2. Double-click on the camera that you wish to specify for this video channel 3. Click the green check mark to save the selection You can only select cameras that are already configured for use by Admin Console, and you need to know which channel they are connected to before working on this tab. Recording is only possible from cameras that are physically connected. Permissions Controller Tab The Controller permission tab on the Digital Recorder window allows an administrator to specify which controllers can seize the selected recorder. It shows permissions from
Configuration 72 the recorder’s point of view. Permissions from the controller’s point of view can be found in the Recorder Tab of the Controllers window (described in the previous section). The last permission change made is the one that remains set. By default, all components are allowed to access all other components. The administrator must deny permissions. 1. Click on the Controller permission tab from the Digital Recorders window Allowing a system controller to control a certain recorder will automatically allow the same controller to view video from the specified recorder. Recorders are displayed in the list on the left by ID number, but can also be viewed by logical number, IP address, or video port. The grid on the right represents the following: First row = controller IDs 0-9, second row = controller IDs 10-19, etc. Green blocks indicate an allowed permission, and white blocks indicate that permission is denied. 2. Double-click on a specific controller to invert or alternate between permit or deny Be sure to click the save button (the picture of the floppy disk) before exiting the Controller tab to ensure the changes will be saved correctly. 3. Highlight a row, a column, or click and hold the mouse button to highlight a group of controllers 4. Click the Invert Grid Selection button to change the state of the permission for the highlighted group, or 5. Click on the Permit All button to turn the entire grid green – allowing all controllers permission to control the specified camera, or 6. Click on the Deny All button to turn the entire grid white – denying all controllers permission to control the specified camera, or 7. Click on the Copy Grid button to copy the permission grid from a specific recorder to other recorders When copying a grid, a confirmation message will appear asking “Are you sure you want to COPY the Controller permission for this Digital Recorder?” and explaining the copying rules:
Configuration 73 [1] Permissions will be copied by Digital Recorder ID. [2] If permission already exists for a Digital Recorder that falls within the Target range, that original permission will be overwritten. 8. Click Yes to continue or No to cancel The copy source is the highlighted recorder ID from where the controller permissions will be copied. 9. Enter the Target ID range of recorder ID numbers, with the beginning number in the START box, and the ending number in the END box Permissions existing for recorders within the specified range will be overwritten.
Configuration 74 Viewing and Programming Modes Clicking the View option button allows you to view permissions for the mode chosen, and defaults to programming for the same mode. In the case of the graphic to the left, mode 1 is set for viewing, and thereby programming. See Scheduled Modes in the Admin Console manual. The permissions grid reflects the contents of the mode whose view is selected with the View option button. In the image that follows, the permission grid is displaying the contents of mode 1.
Configuration 75 More than one mode can be programmed at the same time by clicking on the Prog check boxes of the other mode numbers that you wish to program simultaneously. This will append, or add any permissions that are then changed on the permissions grid, but will not duplicate entire modes or overwrite existing permissions in the other modes. The image to the left indicates that the permissions grid would now be displaying the contents of mode 3 (which is also by default being programmed), and would simultaneously be programming any subsequent changes into modes 1 and 4 as well. It is not necessary to perform a Save for each mode viewed or programmed. Saving permissions, when completed, automatically saves all four modes, regardless of the current View or Prog selection. Controllers Recorder Tab The Recorder permission tab on the Controller window allows an administrator to specify which recorders can be seized by the selected controller. It shows permissions from the controller’s point of view. By default, all components are allowed to access all other components. An administrator must deny permissions. 1. Click on the Recorder permission tab from the Controllers window Allowing a system controller to control a certain recorder will automatically allow the same controller to view video from the specified recorder. Controllers are displayed in the list on the left by ID number, but can also be viewed by IP address (IPA), Ethernet address (EA), or area. The grid on the right represents the following: First row = recorder IDs 0-9, second row = recorder IDs 10-19, etc. Green blocks indicate an allowed permission, and white blocks indicate that permission is denied. 2. Double-click on a specific recorder to invert or alternate between permit or deny Be sure to click the save button (the picture of the floppy disk) before exiting the Recorder tab to ensure the changes will be saved correctly.
Configuration 76 3. Highlight a row, a column, or click and hold the mouse button to highlight a group of recorders 4. Click the Invert Grid Selection button to change the state of the permission for the highlighted group, or 5. Click on the Permit All button to turn the entire grid green – allowing all recorders to be seized by the specified controller, or 6. Click on the Deny All button to turn the entire grid white – denying the selected controller access to all recorders, or 7. Click on the Copy Grid button to copy the permission grid from a specific controller to other controllers When copying a grid, a confirmation message will appear asking “Are you sure you want to COPY the Recorder permission for this Controller?” and explaining the copying rules: [1] Permissions will be copied by Controller ID. [2] If permission already exists for a Controller that falls within the Target range, that original permission will be overwritten. 8. Click Yes to continue or No to cancel The copy source is the highlighted controller ID from where the recorder permissions will be copied. 9. Enter the Target ID range of recorder ID numbers, with the beginning number in the START box, and the ending number in the END box Permissions existing for controllers within the specified range will be overwritten.
