What is the Pelconet NET300 Transmission System?
The PelcoNet™ NET300transmission system is technology that lets you view video in real time across a LAN (local area network) and even
WANs (wide area networks). This technology is based on the TCP/IP protocol suite and Ethernet technology, providing compatibility with today’s
networking standards.
®
The following devices can be controlled from your computer through Internet Explorer with the PelcoNet NET300 transmission system: Spectra ,
®
®
Esprit , Genex multiplexer, CM9700 systems (older CM9760s require CM9760 data translator), CM6700 (through integrated ASCII port, COM 2),
and the CM6800 matrix.
HOW DO LANS AND WANS WORK?
•
A LAN consists of multiple computers connected together, sharing information. This information could be files, e-mail, printers, or—with
the PelcoNet NET300 transmission system—even live video.
•
•
A WAN consists of multiple LANs connected through routers and gateways (for example, the Internet).
In any network environment, each device needs a unique address so other computers on the network know how to reach it.
It is similar to a city with street addresses. For the post office to deliver mail to your house, you need a unique street address for the mail carrier
to find you. A network is like a city. Like a street address, the IP address on your computer is your address on the network. The IP address is how
other computers can find you on the network.
Remember that the IP address must be unique on the network.
•
When there are multiple networks and you are using the TCP/IP protocol, there must be a way to communicate between the two networks.
A physical device called a router is required. The router’s IP address is referred to as the default gateway IP address.
•
A cable that connects one computer to another is like a city street you can use to get from one house to another. The cable lets you commu-
nicate with each other on the network. This cable is Category 5 cable with RJ-45 connectors at each end. (It looks like a phone cord, only
slightly larger.)
WHO SHOULD INSTALL THE PELCONET NET300 TRANSMISSION SYSTEM?
NOTE
nless you are very familiar with how computers work, consult your network administrator for help.
Installation is a matter of configuring an IP address using a standard terminal program or any Internet browser and connecting the PelcoNet
NET300 transmission system to the Ethernet network. You should have the following background and experience to configure and install these
units:
•

Overview
NOTE: This manual refers to the PelcoNet NET300 transmission system unit when discussing features, functions, or specifications that
apply to both transmitter and receiver models. “Receiver,” as used in this manual, refers to a PelcoNet NET300 transmission system
receiver unless otherwise noted.
DESCRIPTION
The PelcoNet NET300 transmission system is a network video server that encodes and decodes live video and control data transmitted and
received over Ethernet computer networks (either intranet or Internet) using the TCP/IP protocol.
The transmission system consists of two units: a transmitter (NET300T) and a receiver (NET300R)—however, only the transmitter is required to
use the system. If a receiver is used, video can be displayed on an NTSC or PAL monitor connected to the receiver. If a receiver is not used, video
can be displayed on a PC connected to the network through a web browser.
Dual MPEG-4 video streams, each of which can be set up differently, is a special feature of the NET300. For example, one video stream might be
set to record at high resolution while the second might have monitoring at a lower resolution.
Transmitters and receivers are identified by IP addresses, just like any other equipment connected to a computer network.
There is a bidirectional serial interface for remote control of peripherals, such as PTZ cameras.
In appropriately configured networks, the multicast function permits simultaneous video transmission in real time to several receivers. For this to
work, the UDP and IGMP multicasting protocols must be implemented in the network.

Typical Applications
There are two ways to make a high performance multimedia transmission system for Ethernet networks:
•
•
One way is to use just the transmitter and connect it through the Ethernet network to a PC with a web browser at the receiving end.
Another way is to connect the transmitter through the Ethernet network to a receiver. This is often called a box-to-box connection because
it uses two PelcoNet NET300 transmission system units.
In either case, routing dedicated cables from a camera to a monitor is not required because you can use the existing Ethernet network for that
purpose.
Refer to figures 3 through 16 for examples of these configurations. Refer to Appendix A for detailed illustrations.

WARNING: Pay attention to documentation relating to the installation and operation of the equipment being controlled.
CONNECTING AN ALARM
The NET300 has two alarm inputs. Input 1 lets you connect external signaling devices, such as a door contact. (Note that there is no motion
alarm on a NET300 receiver.) Input 2 has limited functionality in that it can only be used to establish a box-to-box connection to another NET300,
and only when the Connect On Alarm field is set to On.
If configured accordingly, an alarm trigger can also set up an automatic connection between the NET300 and the remote station. You can connect
switches or contacts directly without a separate power supply. The alarm inputs are N.O. (normally open).
Do the following to connect an external sensor. Refer to Figure 17.

CONNECTING A RELAY
The NET300 has a relay for operating external devices (for example, a light or siren). The relay can be operated from a control page during an
active connection or automatically to coincide with certain events. Settings for the relay must be configured (refer to the Configuration section).
Do the following to connect a peripheral device (such as a light) that can be activated from a PelcoNet live video page.
WARNING: The maximum rating of the relay contact is 30 VDC and 1 A.
Refer to Figure 17. On the plug-in terminal block, attach a wire conductor to each of the relay terminals (R). (Insert a small screwdriver tip in the
square hole and push hard enough to open the corresponding round hole. Insert the wire in the round hole.) It does not matter which conductor
wire goes to which relay terminal. The device the relay activates will need its own power supply.

Configuration
BOX-TO-BOX CONNECTION
The following explains a box-to-box connection.
1. First, transmitter and receiver need to be configured appropriately. If the units are supposed to be operated in different subnets, a gateway
IP address must be configured. Use the Live video receiver IP address field to address the destination. Enter the settings using either a
terminal program or a web browser.
2. Once all addresses are configured, under the terminal program menu, go into the “Rcp+” menu and type e to make the connection. Or
program the live video receiver IP address and enable the live auto connect setting through the web browser. Make sure the unit that will
initiate the connection has an alarm IP address that points to the destination unit. After a few seconds, video transmission begins and the
camera scene appears on the monitor attached to the receiver.
Instead of using a terminal program or web browser for establishing a connection, you can attach a contact to the alarm input. Make sure the
alarm input field on the configuration page for alarm settings is enabled.
You can use a web browser to connect to either of the two units, even during an active box-to-box connection. This way you can make changes
to the configuration and immediately see the result of the setting (for example, when changing video quality). (This is not true for passwords,
however.) If you are connected to the transmitter, the camera pictures are sent to the receiver and web browser simultaneously. There will be a
short break in the video display on the receiver monitor whenever the web browser requests a new frame. This is especially noticeable with the
Server Push feature.
Transparent data is always transmitted automatically between the two units as soon as the connection becomes active. Data bytes entering the
interface are transported to the other end transparently. There is no flow control mechanism for the data channel. Overflowing the serial inter-
face will cause data loss.
To sever the connection from either end, in the “Rcp+” menu press 3 (or disable the alarm).
CONFIGURATION TYPES
There are two ways to configure your system:
•
A convenient, complete configuration and display of video is accomplished through the built-in HTTP server, which connects to any standard
web browser (for example, Internet Explorer). You can then configure using screens and menus. This is the recommended method. Refer to
the Configuration Using a Web Browser section.
•
The most basic configuration is accomplished by connecting a PC to the RS-232 terminal port. You then type in commands and parameters.
Refer to the Configuration Using a Terminal Program section.
CONFIGURATION USING A WEB BROWSER
To use a web browser the system features a complete HTTP server.
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher is the recommended browser.
In order for live video images to be decoded, the special ActiveX control file must be installed on your PC. The latest version of the ActiveX plat-
form comes on the PelcoNet CD. Also, the unit will not function without some form of Microsoft’s Virtual Machine installed on the PC. Virtual
Machine is included on the PelcoNet resource CD that came with your NET300 unit.

GETTING STARTED
NOTE: NET-Manager is a program that can make it easier to manage PelcoNet units in local networks. The program and manual (C2901M)
are on the resource CD that comes with your PelcoNet unit. Refer to the manual for instructions.
The only NET-Manager features available to the NET300 include scanning to see your units’ IP and MAC addresses, changing IP addresses, and
viewing the setup pages with the browser.
1. Start your web browser.
2. Connect to the URL http://IP-Address, where IP-Address is the IP address of the unit you want to configure. Use the standard dot-
separated format (x.x.x.x) to enter the address. The home page is displayed along with a snapshot from the camera.

Description
Unit name

(For future development.) The Unit name identifies the device; for example, in the event of an alarm, this name
would be displayed in the video image, depending on the configuration. You can enter up to 31 alphanumeric
characters.
Unit ID
None
None
(For future development.) The Unit ID identifies the device. You can enter up to 31 alphanumeric characters.
Password level
Select the password level from the pull-down menu. Access to the NET300 generally is protected with a
password to prevent unauthorized use of the unit. There are three password levels.
WARNING: Setting a User level password on a transmitter can cause complications on the
receiver side in a box-to-box configuration. To avoid this, on the receiver’s Alarm Settings
configuration page enter the transmitter’s IP address and user password in the appropriate fields
(live video receiver IP address and remote receiver password). If no User level password is set on
the transmitter, then the receiver needs no setup.
•
Service: This is the administrative, and highest, level. This level grants access to all configuration
parameters after the current password is entered.
IMPORTANT: Service is an administrative account. If you do not set up a Service password, there
is no point in setting up User or Live passwords because a user can log in to the unit by entering
“service” and then eliminate the User and Live passwords.
•
•
User: This is the second highest level. This level lets the user view live video and access the control
pages.
Live: This is the lowest level. This level does not grant access to configuration pages but allows the unit
to be operated (for example, viewing video).
If any password level is set, you will always be required to log on to the NET300. For example, if a Live level
password is set and you view that unit through the browser, the unit will ask for a user name and password to
access any configuration page. If you then try to access the setup page again, the unit will again prompt for a
user name and password.
Some scenarios that can occur are as follows:
•
If a password is set for the Service level, then the only way to access the setup page is by logging on
using the Service name and the Service level password.
•
If no password is set for the Service level, then you can log on with the Service user name and no
password or you can log on with the Live user name and the Live password you have selected.
Password
None
You can enter or change a password if the unit is accessed in the Service authorization level or if the unit is
not protected by a password. Passwords can be changed one at a time only (that is, either Service, User, or
Live). Maximum entry is 19 alphanumeric characters. All entered characters will be saved when you click Set;

CONFIGURATION PAGE FOR ALARM SETTINGS
The PelcoNet NET300 transmission system is not only a multimedia gateway but also a security device and, therefore, has many features related
to security applications. The configuration page for alarm settings lets you configure your unit for surveillance applications. In most surveillance-
related applications, the receiver is located in a secure center-type environment while the transmitter is located at the site to be monitored.

Setting Description
Video motion
alarm
N/A
The system has a video motion detection feature. The video scene is monitored constantly for relevant motion.
NOTE: Use of the motion detection feature is recommended only indoors and under controlled lighting
conditions; it is not recommended in dim lighting.
The following conditions must be met for motion detection to function:
•
•
•
Motion detection must be activated.
At least one cell must be activated.
Sensitivity must be set higher than zero.
To set motion detection, do the following:
1. Click the Motion detection button to access the Motion Detection screen. (Refer to Figure 28.) Click
Default to get the default settings for motion detection.
2. Select On from the Motion detector pull-down menu to trigger an alarm in the event of movement.
3. Click the Select area button to display a window with a grid superimposed on it (refer to Figure 29).
Select the cells in the image you want the system to monitor for motion. You can use the Select all and
Clear all buttons.
The default is all cells selected (red).
To set an individual cell, click it with the left mouse button (it will turn red). Click the right button to
deselect a cell (which will turn white). Select or deselect multiple cells by holding down the left or right
mouse button and dragging. Release when finished.
Click the Set button.
4. Use the Motion tracking pull-down menu to turn on/off tracking. (Note that motion tracking overrides
motion detection.)
5. The Tracker box indicates and controls the direction of motion detection. You can set motion detection to
operate in one direction only by removing the check mark in the opposite direction. (This advanced feature
must be set up precisely. Pelco recommends extensive setup testing in order to get the expected results.)
6. Use the Local sensitivity slide bar to set detection sensitivity. You need to adapt sensitivity to the
respective environment and the acceptable false alarm rate: for a lower false alarm rate select a lower
sensitivity and vice versa. Experiment to find the best setting.
7. Use the Average n [frames] slide bar to define how much motion must be detected before an alarm will
be triggered. If the value is high, even movement over a small time period triggers an alarm. If the value is
low, movement over a longer period is required to trigger an alarm.
8. Use the Object min size [nxn blocks] slide bar to designate the minimum number of cells in the frame a
moving object must fill to trigger an alarm. You can set the value between 1*1 and 6*6 (2*2 is
recommended). If the size of the object in the picture exceeds the value you set, motion detection triggers
an alarm.
9. The Alarm indicator box lets you set a threshold so an alarm is triggered only if the sensitivity of the
video sensor is exceeded. Thus, something such as background noise caused by the camera can be filtered
to avoid unwanted alarms.The blue line indicates the alarm threshold. Any value exceeding this produces
an alarm signal. Components of the motion signal generating the alarm are indicated in red. Pull up or
down on the blue line to observe the motion detector.
10. Click Back to Alarm page! when finished.
Unified picture

Video loss alarm Off
If you select On, the signal from the video source (the camera in most cases) is monitored constantly for
interruption. If no signal is received, the NET300 triggers an alarm.

Alarm input 1
Off/High
2. Select High or Low for the voltage level to activate the alarm.
3. Enter a name for the alarm input to be displayed on the screen if an alarm is activated (31 alphanumeric
characters maximum).
If alarm input is set to follow motion alarm, then motion detection must be set to On.
Alarm input 2
Off/High Functions in the same manner as the Alarm Input 1 field.
Connect on alarm Off
The alarm functions would have little effect without automatically triggering corresponding actions. Select On
for automatic connection to the video receiver’s IP address. The idea is to provide a monitoring station with live
video in case of an alarm. (If you want both motion and alarm input to activate an alarm, set this field to On. If set
to motion only, motion alarms will activate an alarm but no input alarms will be recognized.)
This feature can be useful even for many applications not related to alarm conditions. One example is a video-
equipped door entry system: when the doorbell is pressed, a contact closes and the connected transmitter
automatically connects to a receiver.
Select Follows input 1 (transmitter) or Follows input (receiver) to specify that the connection remain as long
as the alarm is active. (If Follows input 1 or Follows input is set, motion will not activate an alarm.) Select
Follows motion alarm (transmitter only) to specify that the alarm will turn on when motion is detected and
turn off 10 seconds after motion is no longer detected. (If Follows motion alarm is set, alarm inputs will not be
recognized.)

enter the transmitter’s IP address and user password in the appropriate fields (live video receiver IP
address and remote receiver password). If no User level password is set on the transmitter, then the
receiver needs no setup.
Live video auto- Off

Select On if at each restart an active connection should be setup automatically to the receiver’s IP address. The
auto-connect feature guarantees active connection to the receiver’s alarm IP address even after connection
breakdown or network failures. As soon as communication is restored, the connection is reinstated. On a
receiver, this feature is enabled to establish a connection to a transmitter automatically.

Use the pull-down menu to select MPEG-4 for multicast streaming mode.
Besides a one-to-one connection between a transmitter and a receiver (unicast), the NET300 lets you
connect a number of receivers to receive the video signal simultaneously. This is achieved by
distributing a single data stream on the network itself to a number of receivers in a defined group
(multicast).
With a valid multicast group address selected in the Multicast Group IP Address field, the NET300
operates in multicast mode (data stream duplicated over the network).
When multicast streaming is turned off, operation resorts to unicast mode.
Multicast group 0.0.0.0
IP address
This is the multicast IP address. (Network hardware—such as switches, hubs, routers, etc.—must
support the multicasting protocol, IGMP.) This field sets PelcoNet to use the multicasting protocol, which
allows more efficient use of bandwidth. The IP range is 224.0.1.0 through 238.255.255.255.

CONFIGURATION USING A TERMINAL PROGRAM
Using a terminal program (for example, the Windows application HyperTerminal) on a computer connected to the RS232/422/485 port on the
NET300 provides limited configuration and control capabilities.
Do the following:
1. In the terminal program on your PC, ensure that the PC’s COM port is set up properly (default properties are 19200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1
stop bit, and no flow control) and that the local terminal echo is disabled.
2. Isolate the NET300 from the network.
3. Connect the RS232/422/485 port on the NET300 to an unused serial port on the PC (null modem required).
4. After the connection is made, you will be prompted for the case-sensitive user name. (Press Enter if the prompt does not appear
automatically.) The factory default is service.
5. All commands consist of single characters you type inside the terminal window. Enter only one command at a time and do not terminate
this input by pressing the Enter key. After entering a value (for example, an IP address), check the entered characters again and only then
press Enter to transmit the values to the NET300.
The following shows a typical session.

NOTE: You cannot use backspace during a terminal session—if you mistype a character, end your entry by pressing Enter and try again. If
you see duplicate characters on any entry, the “local echo” feature of your PC’s terminal program is not disabled.
If you are using the terminal to set up the unit’s IP address, just type i and then i again. You are prompted to enter a new IP address. Do so and
press Enter.
If you want to establish a live video connection to a remote unit, you have to specify the remote IP address by typing r and then entering the
remote IP address.
To establish a connection, go to the main menu, then type r, then type e, and then select either video 1 or video 2. To disconnect, type 2 in the
same menu.

DISPLAYING VIDEO ON A WEB BROWSER
The NET300 uses MPEG-4 for transmitting video across the network. This enables transmission to standard web browsers of either live video
(Video 1 or 2 mode) or a stream of still images (Server Push mode).
•
To activate the live video feature, click either Video 1 or Video 2 above the video window on the PelcoNet NET300 transmission system
To stop live video, click any other option at the top of the page.
•
To activate the Server Push feature, click Server Push above the video window on the home page. The unit continuously grabs snapshots
to be JPEG encoded, transferred, and displayed continuously by the browser.
To stop Server Push, click any other option at the top of the page.
The PelcoNet NET300 transmission system can display live video to a maximum of 25 users at a time (multicasting).
Server Push can support multiple users simultaneously on the same transmitter. Image quality is good with an update rate of one image about
every 2 to 10 seconds depending on the number of users and available bandwidth.
Browsers that do not support live video technology can display an updated still image or a stream of images in Server Push mode.

2. Position the camera as desired (if it has PTZ capability).
3. Click the Snapshot icon (camera) to record a still picture. The snapshot is saved on the PC’s hard drive with a .jpg extension.
VIEWING A SNAPSHOT
You can view a snapshot by double-clicking the desired file (.jpg extension) in Windows Explorer.
RECORDING THE VIDEO DISPLAY ONTO THE PC
You can record the camera display from the Video 1 or 2 pages or from the live video Matrix, Genex, Spectra, and Esprit control pages. The file is
recorded on the PC on which you are viewing the picture. To do so:
1. On the Home page, click either Control (and then click one of the underline links to a live video control page) or Video 1 or Video 2.
2. Position the camera as desired (if it has PTZ capability).
3. Click the Recording icon (red dot button) to begin recording. The button flashes while recording is happening. (Note that recording stops if
you exit the page.)
4. Click the Recording button again to stop recording. The recording is saved on the PC’s hard drive with an .mp4 extension.

Software Upload
Units have flash EPROMs for software upgrades in the field. These upgrades can be done directly from the web browser. To do so:
1. Obtain the latest PelcoNet NET300 transmission system software from Pelco (http://pelco.com).
2. Use the browser to select the General Settings configuration page of your unit.
3. Use the Browse button in the Software upload field to select the correct new firmware file.
4. Click the Upload button. The Upload progress field shows how the upload is proceeding.
After about 30 seconds you should get a feedback message from the connected unit. The message “Upload Complete – WAIT” confirms the
correct upload of the new firmware, which is now being installed. If you try to upload an invalid firmware file, you will get the message
“Upload Failed.”
WARNING: Do not disconnect power to the unit for any reason while firmware is being installed. Disrupting the cycle will damage the
flash EPROM. If this occurs, you will have to return the unit for repair.
The unit automatically restarts when a successful upload is completed.
However, if the LED flashes green/red alternately on conclusion, the upload has been unsuccessful and must be restarted. To do so: in the
browser’s address field after the unit’s IP address, enter /main.htm. For example, 192.168.0.12/main.htm. Restart the upload process.
5. If you revisit the General Settings configuration page after the firmware is uploaded successfully, you will see the message “New Firmware
Installed.”

Troubleshooting
If the following instructions fail to solve your problem, contact Pelco Technical Support at 1-800-289-9100 for help. You should have the serial
number from the bottom of the unit and the firmware version ready in case they are needed.
Do not try to repair a unit yourself. Opening it immediately voids any warranty. Leave maintenance and repairs to qualified technical personnel.
Swap a defective unit with a replacement unit and return the defective one for repair.
TERMINAL PROGRAM
If the terminal program fails to connect to the unit’s terminal port, check the following:
•
•
•
Is the right COM port interface on the PC selected for the terminal program, and are the settings correct? Program default settings are
19200 kb/s, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (8N1) and no flow control for the terminal program.
If the data exchange between the terminal program and the system still does not work, check the serial cable. Does the system answer
when you press Enter on your keyboard?
Disable the local echo if you see duplicate characters on your screen.
TROUBLESHOOTING A TCP/IP NETWORK USING A PING UTILITY
(Enter the appropriate information where indicated by the quotation marks. Do not enter the quotation marks.)
To see if a unit in your network can be reached, try to ping your unit by typing the following command in a DOS window:
c:\ping ‘unit IP address’
If it is reached, there will be a response like the following:
Reply from <IP address>: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx
If the LAN is malfunctioning, the ping command will time out. If so, you could have one of the following problems:
•
•
Wrong physical connections. Make sure the LAN link LED is on.
Wrong network connection. Verify the IP address is entered correctly and that subnet mask and gateway address are set properly.
Otherwise, ask your network administrator.
NOTE: The error message “Destination Host Unreachable” means the ping command was not sent from your computer because the
address you are trying to ping is not in the same IP subnet as your computer.
For example, if your computer’s IP address is 192.168.0.12 and your PelcoNet unit’s IP address is 192.168.0.18 and you are using a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0, then there is no problem and you will not get the error message.
However, using a subnet mask of 255.255.255.248 creates 32 subnets each of which has 6 usable IP addresses. So, now the client PC is in
a subnet that has usable addresses from 192.168.0.9 to 192.168.0.15 and the PelcoNet is in a subnet that has usable addresses from
192.168.0.17 to 192.168.0.23. Computers in the first subnet cannot communicate with the PelcoNet in the second (unless there is a gate-
way/router/bridge to route traffic from one subnet to the other).
TROUBLESHOOTING CONNECTION PROBLEMS
If you fail to connect to a system from a NET300 receiver, check the following to pinpoint the problem:
•
•
•
Do not connect two units of the same type (for example, receiver to receiver).
Make sure network connectivity is available (for example, by using the ping command as described previously).
Does the power LED flash?
If flashing, the units are connected. Verify how much bandwidth your connection has available and ensure the bandwidth speci-
fied in the Datarate field on the MPEG-4 Video Settings page does not exceed the available bandwidth.
If the power LED does not flash, verify that the Live Video Auto-Connect feature is set up correctly. Also, set the Video Transmis-
sion field on the Network Settings page to “TCP (port 80).”

TROUBLESHOOTING THE VIDEO CONNECTION
If no video or a distorted video image is displayed at the receiver during a connection to a transmitter:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Make sure to use the right unit for your application: a camera can only be connected to a transmitter, never to a receiver.
Make sure the video input on the transmitter is properly terminated.
Make sure the camera is switched on and the coaxial cable is connected to the transmitter.
Check the camera cable and connect a video monitor to the camera to check that the camera is functioning correctly.
Make sure the monitor is switched on and the coaxial cable is connected to the NET300 receiver.
Check the monitor cable and the selection of the monitor channel if the monitor features more than one video channel.
(NET300R unit only.) Make sure the Output Standard field on the Video Decoder Settings page is set for the TV signal used in your region
(NTSC or PAL). Restart the receiver if you have to change this field.

Appendix B — Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What Pelco devices can I control from my computer with PelcoNet?
PelcoNet can control the following from Internet Explorer:
•
•
•
•
•
Spectra and Esprit
Genex multiplexer
CM9700 matrix (older CM9760s require CM9760 data translator)
CM6700 matrix (through integrated ASCII port)
CM6800 matrix
2. Can I view PelcoNet over the Internet?
Yes. You will need a static IP address and enough bandwidth to view live video. Pelco recommends a minimum of 250 Kbps for medium
image quality. Also check with your ISP to verify the correct TCP and UDP ports are open through any routers or firewalls through which you
connect.
3. How many connections does PelcoNet support? Can more than one receiver connect to a transmitter at the same time?
Yes. PelcoNet can support up to 25 simultaneous connections. To do so, all hubs, switches, and routers must support multicasting (IGMP),
and PelcoNet must be configured to use multicasting. If the network hardware does not support this, then the maximum number of simulta-
neous connections is five.
4. Can I enlarge the picture size in the browser?
Yes. You can select from two different image sizes in PelcoNet with the browser: 352 x 288 or 704 x 576.
5. What software does PelcoNet require?
PelcoNet works with Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher. An ActiveX plug-in and Microsoft Virtual Machine are also required for Internet
Explorer to get live video. All software is included.
6. Can I control other manufacturers’ equipment from the browser?
Not at this time.
7. Can I record video with PelcoNet?
Yes. PelcoNet can record video to the hard drive of the viewing PC. The video is recorded in MPEG-4 format, which allows playback through
either the browser or Windows Media Player.
8. Everything is wired correctly but I do not have any control from the browser. What else could be wrong?
The transparent port settings should be set to match the equipment to which PelcoNet is connected.
Also, in Internet Explorer, the Microsoft Virtual Machine should be enabled. To do so: on the Tools menu, select Internet Options. Then
select the Advanced tab. Locate the option Microsoft VM. Place a checkmark next to Java Console Enabled and JIT compiler for
virtual machine enabled. Reboot your computer.
These options are required for the Java applets in PelcoNet to function properly.
9. Can I control the Genex multiplexer from the browser and have a local KBD4000?
Yes. You must have Genex version 4.1 or higher for Genex units manufactured before November 22, 2002—or version 1.12 or higher for
units manufactured on or after that date. (The version numbering was restarted in 2002, which is why newer units have a smaller version
number.) These versions let you connect a KBD4000 to the COM IN port, and PelcoNet to the COM OUT port. This gives you both local and
remote control. Refer to—Connecting PelcoNet to the COM OUT RS-422 Port on a Genex Multiplexer in Appendix A for detailed informa-
tion.
10. Can I control the Genex multiplexer server?
Not at this time.
11. Can I use DHCP (dynamically assigned IP address) with PelcoNet?
No.
12. What type of compression does PelcoNet NET300 use?
C2908M-B (4/05)
91
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
PelcoNet uses the MPEG-4 industry standard for video teleconferencing over the Internet. It provides the most effective use of bandwidth
with excellent video quality.
13. I do not get live video in the browser but server push is working. What could be wrong?
Verify that the ActiveX plug-in is installed and that your video is set to 16-bit color. Also check with your network administrator to verify that
the TCP/IP ports PelcoNet uses are not being filtered and that you have enough bandwidth.
14. How do I program PelcoNet with HyperTerminal?
Using a null modem cable, connect a COM port on your PC to the RS232/422/485 port on PelcoNet. Open HyperTerminal and set the port to
use 19200, 8, N, 1 and No Flow Control. Type ?, and follow the help menu.
15. How much bandwidth does PelcoNet use?
PelcoNet’s bandwidth is adjustable. You can set it from 9.6 kbps up to 5000 kbps. PelcoNet recommends a minimum of 250 Kbps for live
video at medium image quality. Check with your network administrator for how much bandwidth to use.
16. Can I use PelcoNet with a DSL or cable connection?
Yes. You will need a static IP address from your provider. Also verify what kind of bandwidth you will get since it varies by location. Verify
that your provider is not filtering the TCP/IP ports that PelcoNet uses.
17. Is an RS-232 to RS-422/485 converter required for control with PelcoNet?
No. the NET300’s RS232/422/485 port supports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485.
18. What TCP/IP ports should I use with PelcoNet?
•
•
If you will be using PelcoNet in a LAN environment, Pelco recommends all TCP/IP ports above 1024 be opened. Also, if you will use a
time server, TCP port 37 must be opened.
If you will be using PelcoNet in a WAN environment, Pelco recommends changing the “Video transmission” setting to “TCP” in the
Network Settings configuration page. This makes PelcoNet use port 80 and whatever source port the client computer chooses.
