Rack Mounting Instruction

6U Rack Mounting

This product can be mounted in a standard 6U rack (Please contact your supplier for 6U rack sale). The mounting steps are as follows:

1. Use included screws to fix two mounting ears on the product, as shown in the figure below:

1. Insert the product with mounting ears into a 6U rack (up to 10 units can be installed vertically), as shown in the figure below:
2. Use screws to fix mounting ears on the rack to complete the mounting, as shown in the figure below:

Note: (1) For the default IP mode of Control LAN port of the Controller Box is DHCP, the PC also needs to be set to Obtain an IP address automatically mode, and an optional DHCP server (e.g. network router) is recommended in the system.
(2) If there is no DHCP server in the system, 192.168.0.225 will be used as the IP address of Control LAN port. You need to set the IP address of the PC to be in the same network segment. For example, set PC’s IP address as 192.168.0.88.
(3) You can access the Web GUI by inputting URL "http://controller.local" or the Control LAN port IP address 192.168.0.225 (in case of no optional Router) on your computer's browser.
(4) No need to care about settings of Video LAN port of the Controller Box, as they are managed by Controller automatically (Default).
(5) When the Network Switch does not support POE, the Encoder, Decoder and Controller Box should be powered by DC power adpter.

5. Rack Mounting Instruction

This product can be mounted in a standard 6U rack (Please contact your supplier for 6U rack sale). The mounting steps are as follows:

5.1 6U Rack Mounting

1. Step 1: Use included screws to fix two mounting ears on the product, as shown in the figure below:

1U Rack Mounting

This product also can be mounted in a standard 1U rack (up to 4 units can be installed horizontally). The mounting steps are as follows:

1. Stack two products on top of each other, then use included screws to fix two 1U rack panels on the products, as shown in the figure below:
2. Fix two 1U rack panels on another two stacked products in the same way, then use screws to fix two 1U rack panels together, as shown in the figure below:
3. Fasten screws between two 1U rack panels, so that four products are mounted in a 1U rack, as shown in the figure below:
