Step 2: Connect the Aimetis Physical Security Appliance to the Network

Note the following points:

  1. This is a setup procedure to configure basic system settings such as a computer name, IP address, time and time zone. Video management settings will be configured by Symphony Client.

  2. Initial setup does NOT require a monitor, keyboard or mouse to be attached to the appliance. The VGA port and DVI-D port (if equipped) are for troubleshooting only.

  3. The appliance will be configured using your Web browser once connected to your network.

Using LAN1 or LAN1 & LAN2

The appliance may be connected to a single network containing IP cameras and client computers. You may use either the LAN1 or the LAN2 ports on the back panel. Each port has a different default configuration. For convenience this guide will assume LAN1 is used.

    A["Aimetis E-Series"] -->|LAN 1| B["Network Switch"]
    C["IP Cameras"] --> B
    D["Aimetis Symphony Clients"] --> B

Figure 6: One network in use

The appliance may also be connected to two networks by using both the LAN1 and LAN2 ports on the back panel. Using two separate networks could be required if the video traffic must be isolated from the corporate network. The appliance can also act as a DHCP server for one of the two networks, typically the one connected to the video devices.

By isolating the video devices on a separate network, the video will only traverse the corporate network if a user wishes to see video. Otherwise no video will traverse the two networks. Figure 7 shows a typical network layout when two networks are in use. It shows cameras are on a separate network from clients.

    style C fill:#fff,stroke:#333

Figure 8: Do NOT connect LAN1 and LAN2 to the same network

To perform initial setup:

  1. Decide which network ports you want to use. The appliance comes configured as follows:

  2. LAN1 is configured to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP. If no DHCP server is available, the port will assign itself an IP address automatically using automatic private IP addressing. The IP address will be set to 169.254.x.y (where x.y is the device's unique identifier) with a subnet of 255.255.0.0.
    • LAN2 is configured to a fixed IP address of 192.168.0.2.

  3. Connect the appliance to the network with a twisted-pair cat.5 or cat.6 cable using either LAN1 or LAN2 on the back panel.

Important: If using Power over Ethernet on E3200, the LAN1 port must be used to power device.

  1. Connect the power adaptor to the appliance (if applicable) and press the power button on the front panel. The power button will light up green and the hard disk activity indicator will flash as it boots.
  2. Connect your computer to the network. If using LAN1, ensure DHCP is enabled on your networking adapter. If using LAN2, ensure its network settings, specifically gateway and mask, will allow a connection to an IP address of 192.168.0.2.

Step 3: Log in to Your Aimetis Physical Security Appliance

The appliance can act as a DHCP server. You can configure a DHCP server on either network port of the appliance, but not both.

To run a DHCP server on a port:

  1. From the Mode drop-down list, select Run a DHCP Server.
  2. Optionally, specify the start address for the range of IP addresses the DHCP server will use in the IP Address Range Start field.

Note: The IP Address Range Start field must be set to an IP address ending in one. This IP address will also become the address of appliance. The range will extend from .1 to .255 creating a pool of 255 IP addresses.

IP Address

To assign a specific IP address:

  1. From the Mode drop-down list, select Assign a specific IP Address.
  2. Enter the address in the IP Address field.
  3. Enter a value in the Subnet Mask field.

DNS Servers

A DNS server may be used by the Aimetis Symphony Server installed on the appliance. A DNS server is necessary only when the appliance is connected to the Internet and a specific setting within Symphony uses a domain name. A common use of a domain name would be to identify an email server. Aimetis Symphony can use an email server to send an email as an alarm action.

To assign specific DNS servers:

  1. If Mode is set to Obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP, clear the Obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP check box.
  2. Enter a DNS server address in the Preferred DNS Server field.
  3. (Optional) Enter a DNS server address in the Alternate DNS Server field.

Step 7: Mounting the Aimetis Physical Security Appliance

  • “(Optional) Position the Aimetis Physical Security Appliance on a Shelf”
    • “(Optional) Wall Mount Instructions”

(Optional) Position the Aimetis Physical Security Appliance on a Shelf

If the appliance is positioned on a flat surface, install the 4 rubber feet included with the device.

- Screw the rubber feet into the 4 holes on the bottom of the device.

(Optional) Wall Mount Instructions

You can place the appliance flat on a shelf, but wall mounts are supplied for wall mounting, if necessary.

The Aimetis Physical Security Appliance package includes a box with:

  • 2 metal wall mounts
  • 4 small screws with integrated spring washer and flat washer to hold the metal wall mounts to the appliance
  • 4 screws and 4 plastic screw anchor/wall plugs appropriate for drywall or plaster. If you are installing the appliance onto a wood or concrete wall, you must supply your own material-appropriate screws and anchors.

Required:

• Phillips screw driver
- Power drill
- Drill bit a little smaller than the closed end of the plastic anchor (or the same size for metal anchors)

Attaching the Wall Mounts to the E-Series Aimetis Physical Security Appliance

To attach the wall mounts to the appliance:

  1. With the unit flat on a desk, turn it upside down so that the Aimetis logo is not visible.
  2. Place the metal wall mount with the two-hole side, flush with the appliance. (The side with 3 holes and 2 large slotted holes will be used to attach the unit to the wall.)

Positioning the Aimetis Physical Security Appliance on a Wall

When the unit is vertically mounted, you must ensure that all ports are either at the bottom or at the top of the unit. This depends on how you want to connect cables from the appliance to your cameras and network. Decide which ports you want to access from the front panel or the back panel of the unit.
