Frequently Asked Questions - DVS-310-1 D-LINK

How to connect the DVS-310-1 server to the network?

Use an Ethernet cable to connect the server's RJ45 port to your network switch. Make sure the server is powered on and your router assigns an IP address via DHCP.

How to access the configuration interface?

Open a web browser and enter the server's IP address (default 192.168.0.30). Log in with the username 'admin' and an empty password (or as defined in the manual).

What video formats are supported?

The DVS-310-1 supports H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG encoding, with resolutions up to 720p.

How to reset the server to factory settings?

Press and hold the Reset button on the back of the device for 10 seconds until the LEDs flash. Settings return to default values.

Can I power the server via PoE?

No, the DVS-310-1 requires an external 12V DC power supply. It does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE).

How to update the firmware?

Download the latest firmware from the D-Link website. In the web interface, go to Tools > Firmware Update and select the downloaded file. Do not turn off the power during the update.

What to do if the server stops responding?

Check the power and network connections. Try restarting the device by unplugging the power cord for 30 seconds. If the problem persists, perform a factory reset.

How to configure video recording?

In the interface, go to Recording > Schedule. Select the desired days and times, then choose the mode (continuous, motion detection). Make sure a NAS or hard drive is connected.

The Power LED does not light up, what should I do?

Check that the power adapter is properly plugged in and the outlet works. Test with another compatible 12V 5A adapter. If the LED remains off, contact D-Link support.

How to secure access to the server?

Change the default administrator password in the interface. Enable HTTPS (SSL) and restrict allowed IP addresses in the security settings.

Note :

Using a power supply with a different voltage rating will damage and void the warranty of this product.

Hardware Installation

Note: The following installation instructions assume that an analog video camera is installed and providing a signal. If necessary, please consult your camera manufacturer's user manual for information on how to set up your analog camera.

Connect the Video Cable

Connect the video cable from the camera to the VIDEO IN port of the video encoder.

Once the cable has been connected, rotate the BNC connector clockwise so that the cable locks into place.

Connect the Power Supply

Attach the external power supply to the DC power socket (labeled 12V 1.25A) and plug the two-pronged adapter into an AC power outlet. Alternatively, the DVS-310-1 may be powered via PoE Ethernet cable. In this case, the supplied power adapter should not be connected.

When the DVS-310-1 is receiving power, the green power LED will be lit.

Connect the Ethernet Cable

Connect a CAT5 Ethernet cable to the LAN port of the Video Encoder. Connect the opposite end of the CAT5 cable to an active network device such as a hub, switch, or router.

Insert an SD Card (Optional)

Insert an SD card with the gold contacts of the card facing upwards. Push the card into the slot until you feel it click into place.

Connect Additional Peripheral Devices (Optional)

If desired, you may also connect audio equipment such as a microphone or speaker to the AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT ports respectively. DI/DO devices and PTZ controls may also be connected.

Troubleshooting

1. Why is the Power LED not lighting up?

The power supply used might be at fault. Confirm that you are using the provided power supply, which is DC 12V, for the Video Encoder. Also verify that the power supply is securely connected. If the device is functioning but the LED is not illuminated, the LED may be disabled. Open the firewall configuration page and click MAINTENANCE. At the bottom of the page, there will be an option to turn on or turn off the LED.

2. Why does the Video Encoder work locally but not remotely?

This might be caused by firewall protection. Check with your system administrator to see if you are behind a firewall. The firewall may need to have some settings changed in order for the Video Encoder to be accessible outside your LAN. Make sure that the Video Encoder is not conflicting with any Web server you may have running on your network. The default router setting might be another possible reason. Check that the configuration of your router's settings allow the video encoder to be accessed outside your local LAN.

3. Why are no images available through the Web browser?

ActiveX controls might be disabled within Internet Explorer. Check that ActiveX has been enabled in the Internet Options menu. You may also need to change the security settings on your browser to allow the ActiveX plug-in to be installed. If you are using a version of Internet Explorer before version 6.0, you will need to upgrade Internet Explorer in order to view the streaming video transmitted by the video encoder.
