INSTALLATION GUIDELINES  
Follow these guidelines for the best system performance.  
•
The DX9100 recorders require connection to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to ensure no corruption of data during  
a power loss.  
•
•
•
•
•
•
The DX9100 system must be installed in a climate-controlled room. The temperature range should be 41° to 85°F (5° to 29°C).  
All network devices that will transport DX9100 video must be capable of moving multicast traffic.  
Pelco recommends that the DX9100 recorder be installed in a ventilated rack enclosure.  
When securing the recorder to the rack enclosure, do not lift the recorder by the handles only.  
Make sure the rack enclosure is properly grounded.  
Pelco recommends that a spare phone line be installed and connected to a primary DX9100 viewstation to allow the  
Pelco Technical Support Group to dial into the site upon customer request. Pelco personnel will not make changes unless  
authorized by the customer. This phone line can be protected by a password to prevent unauthorized access.  
Lack of adherence to these guidelines gives Pelco discretion in honoring product warranty.

PROGRAMMING  
VIEWSTATION NETWORK CONFIGURATION  
After you make all connections, you have to configure the viewstation to work on the network. To configure the viewstation,  
you need the following information. You can obtain this information from your network administrator.  
•
•
Unique viewstation name: (Examples are Pelcovs1, Pelcovs2, Pelcovs3, etc. This is the default naming scheme.)  
Unique IP address: (Examples are 100.0.0.201, 100.0.0.202, 100.0.0.203, etc. This is the default addressing scheme.)  
Each viewstation is identified by a logical IP address over a local area network (LAN). Each requires a unique IP address  
for communication using TCP/IP protocol. The IP address identifies a system’s location on the network and must be  
globally unique and have a uniform format.  
•
•
Network subnet mask: This must be the same on all recorders and viewstations. (For example, 255.0.0.0 is the default.)  
Computer workgroup name: This must be the same on all recorders and viewstations. (For example, DX9000_GROUP is  
the default.)

ADVANCED FEATURES  
I/O INTERFACE  
The DX9100 system can interface with the CM6800, CM9740, or CM9760 matrix switchers. It can integrate with the CM9760-DT,  
CM9760-ALM, and CM9760-REL.  
•
•
•
CM9760-DT data translator translates the ASCII protocol to the P protocol of the CM9740/CM9760 matrix switchers.  
Connect up to four CM9760-ALM alarm units to each DX9100 recorder.  
Connect up to four CM9760-REL relay units to each DX9100 recorder.  
I/O HANDLER  
This application is used to program the onboard alarm and relay driver and allows the installer to identify one additional  
external device—the CM9760 data translator, the CM9760-ALM alarm unit, or the CM9760-REL relay unit—to be connected to  
the COM port on the recorder. Each of the external devices can be shared across multiple recorders, but when programming to  
external devices, the programming only needs to be done on the recorder which is physically attached to the device.  
I/O MANAGER  
This application is used in conjunction with the I/O Handler to configure the DX9100 recorder’s onboard relays and alarms, and  
to interface to:  
•
•
•
the CM9760-ALM if more than the provided 16 inputs are needed  
the CM9760-REL if more than the provided 2 outputs are needed  
the CM9760-DT to send software alarms such as video motion detection from the recorder to the matrix  
Since these devices can be shared across multiple recorders across the network, the installer can identify alarm inputs 1-16 for  
recorder #1, alarm inputs 17-32 for recorder #2, and so on.

DATA TRANSLATOR CONFIGURATION  
Integrating a data translator serves two functions:  
•
•
Synchronize time between the DX9100 system and the matrix switcher.  
Send ASCII command strings to the matrix switcher (CM6800/CM9740/CM9760) for alarm conditions, such as sending  
alarms based on motion detection.  
NOTE: This programming is required only on the recorder that is physically connected to the CM9760-DT.  
Follow these steps to configure a data translator unit.  
1. Go to Start > Programs > DX9000 Server > IO Handler Configuration. The following dialog box appears.  
NOTE: You can also open the I/O Handler from the DX9000 Server Configuration Utility.

DVR MANAGEMENT  
If the DX9100 DVR system is connected to a matrix switcher, the operation of the system can be managed with the Server Alert  
Configuration Utility. If recorders are not recording or there is no communication with recorders, this utility sends alarms to the  
matrix switcher.  
If the DX9100 system is connected to a Pelco matrix switcher, such as the CM9740 or CM9760, alarms are sent through a data  
translator. For non-Pelco matrix switchers, alarms are sent through a relay unit.  
NOTE: Refer to the Server State section for more information on the Server State application.  
DATA TRANSLATOR CONNECTIONS  
The CM9760-DT should be used with Pelco matrix switchers, such as the CM9740 or CM9760.  
1. Connect a null modem cable from the CM9760-DT’s COM A port to the COM 1 or COM 2 port on the viewstation.  
2. Connect a null modem cable from the CM9760-DT’s COM B port to the COM 1 or COM 2 port on the CM9760-CC1.  
3. Set the jumpers in the data translator for baud rate and parity. Refer to the CM9760-DT Installation/Operation manual.  
NOTE: You can also connect the CM9760-DT to one of the CM9760-CC1 SERCOM ports for RS-422 communication.
