1 INDIGOVISION 9000
CONFIGURATION
Overview
IndigoVision’s 1 Input transmitter/receiver 9000 unit is a single
source solution for transmitting, receiving, encoding and
decoding video and data over IP networks.
The unit allows you to transmit and receive video, audio, serial
data and binary events over IP networks.
It has the following key features:
• As a transmitter, it digitizes, encodes and transmits video to
the network from a PAL or NTSC video source.
• As a receiver, it decodes the encoded video data from the
network, decompresses the video signal and outputs either
NTSC or PAL composite video to an analog monitor.
• It can be located at a camera location or remote monitoring
site.
IndigoVision’s modular software products such as Control Center
and the Network Video Recorder (NVR) can be added at any
stage during the system’s lifetime.
Configuration
You can configure your transmitter/receiver using the Web
Configuration pages, or a serial connection. The Web
Configuration method is detailed below. If you are using a serial
port, see “Using the Serial Port Connection” on page 18.
Initial IP Properties
By default, these devices are programmed as H.264 transmitters,
using the IP properties shown in Table 1.
Table 1 Default IP Properties

IP Address 10.5.1.10
Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0
Default Gateway 10.0.0.1
Using the Web Configuration Pages

This section takes you through the steps required to configure
your IndigoVision 9000 unit using the Web Configuration pages.
These are as follows:
1 Power up the IndigoVision 9000 unit.
2 Prepare an isolated network.
3 Prepare your PC for initial device configuration.
4 Configure your transmitters and receivers. This includes
specifying their IP address and subnet mask.
Installation Prerequisites
To configure your IndigoVision 9000 unit using the Web
Configuration pages, please refer to section 2 “Preparing an
Isolated Network” on page 11, Figure 4 to Figure 7 inclusive.
1 Powering Up the IndigoVision 9000 Unit

The IndigoVision 9000 is a Power Over Ethernet (PoE) powered
device compliant with the IEEE802.3af standard. The unit
dissipates 5W (min) to 7W (max) operating power.
There are four methods of powering up the unit:
• Using a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch
• Using a PoE Injector
• Using a PoE Midspan
• Using Auxiliary Power (24v AC/DC)
These methods are detailed below.
Using a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch

To power up the unit using a PoE-compliant switch, attach a
CAT5 cable between the unit and the PoE switch.
Using a PoE Injector

If a PoE switch is not available, the unit can be powered using a
PoE injector, such as Phihong PSA1GU-480.

Using Auxiliary Power

If power from a PoE Ethernet switch, PoE Midspan or PoE
Injector is not available, the unit can be powered using the
auxiliary power input on the AUX pins of the 16-way I/O
connector on the rear of the unit.
Auxiliary power requirements are 24V AC or 24V DC at 290mA
max (7VA max power). Figure 3 shows the pin numbering
scheme of the I/O connector.

D3.A D3.K D4.A D4.K Rb.1 Rb.2 AUX GND
Figure 3 Pin numbering scheme of the Binary I/O connector

Use 18AWG (1mm2) figure of eight or twisted pair cable to
connect an auxiliary power supply to the camera.
The auxiliary power input to the camera is not polarity sensitive;
therefore a DC power supply can be connected in either polarity.
Warning: The 24V auxiliary power must be connected to the

AUX pins only. The +5V and GND pins must not be
used for 24V auxiliary power as this will
irrevocably damage the unit.
A 24V DC, 500mA PSU with mains power lead can be ordered
from IndigoVision. The order codes are 110004-1 (UK), 110004-2
(US), 110004-3 (EU).
Indicators (LEDs)
When the 9000 unit is powered up, the LEDs indicate the
following:

2 Preparing PC for Initial Device Configuration

All devices are supplied with their IP address and subnet mask
set to 10.5.1.10 and 255.0.0.0 respectively. You cannot connect
the devices to your network until you have changed these
settings to suit your network.
To change the factory defaults of your transmitter or receiver, you
must first (temporarily) modify your PC’s network settings.
Caution: Please note the original value of all settings that are to
be changed so that you can re-enter them when you
have completed the initial device configuration.
To change your PC’s settings:

1 Use the Windows XP Network Settings configuration
application to set the PC’s IP address and subnet mask, as
follows:
a. In Windows Explorer, right-click Network Neighborhood
and select Properties.
b. Right-click Local Area Network and select Properties.
13
Figure 8 LAN Properties

c. Right-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and select
Properties.
Figure 9 IP Properties
14
d. Set the IP address to an address close to the factory IP

address, for example, 10.5.1.2 and change the PC’s
subnet mask to 255.0.0.0 (the same as the factory
default).
e. Click OK, then OK again.
3 Configuring your Transmitters/Receivers

Once you have changed your PC’s network settings, you must
change the IP values of your transmitters and receivers from their
factory defaults.
All devices are supplied with their IP address and subnet mask
set to 10.5.1.10 and 255.0.0.0 respectively. You cannot connect
the devices to your network until you have changed these
settings to suit your network.
To configure a device using the Web Configuration pages:
1 Open Windows XP’s Internet Explorer application. From the
File menu, select Open, and enter 10.5.1.10 (the factory
default IP address), then click OK.

4 The fields are as follows:

• Use DHCP — Tick this box if you wish to assign the following
Network parameters via a DHCP Server:
• Host Name
• IP Address
• Subnet Mask
• Gateway
• Network Time Server
If the unit does not receive any response from the DHCP server it
will default to using the network parameters supplied by the last
completed DHCP request.
Note: IndigoVision recommends that if you are using DHCP,

you should configure the DHCP server to assign a given
IP address based on the unit’s MAC address.
Caution: Control Center requires that the IP address for a unit

in a site remains fixed. If the DHCP Server has been
configured to lease addresses from an address pool,
rather than based on MAC address, the device will not
work correctly with Control Center.
• Host Name — Enter a name for the transmitter or receiver to

identify the device.
• Location — Enter a location to identify the device.
• IP Address — Enter the IP address of the unit.
• Subnet Mask — Enter the IP network subnet mask.
Caution: Ensure that you enter the correct values. Once you
change from the defaults, the device is no longer
configurable by the PC with its current network
settings.
• Gateway — Appropriate default gateway for remote network

access: this is only required if the devices are to be accessed
from a different subnet.
17
• Broadcast Address — Broadcast addresses are calculated

automatically using your IP address and subnet mask to
locate and access IndigoVision devices within a given range
of network IP addresses. This value is read-only.
• NTP Server Address — The IP address of a Network Time
Server, if used. If this is not automatically assigned using
DHCP, you can configure it manually on the Date/Time web
page.
• Ethernet Interface — Enter a link type. The values are as
follows:
• 0 - 10Mbps Half-Duplex
• 1 - 10Mbps Full-Duplex
• 4 - Auto-negotiate
You may need to change the Ethernet link type default value
from Auto-negotiate for some network devices. If you have
problems maintaining a network link, contact your system
administrator to determine the appropriate setting.
When you have configured the device as required, click
Submit to apply the changes to the device.
5 To configure another device, disconnect the cable from the
device. Leave the cable connected to the PC.
Note: You may want to make a note of the device’s new IP

address and subnet mask, or label the device with its
new details.
6 Connect the network cable to the next device you want to
configure.
Note: Before you can access the next unit for configuration,
you must type the following command from a
Command Window:
C:> arp -d 10.5.1.10
7 Repeat these steps for each device, using different IP

addresses for each device.
18
Caution: Ensure that no two devices share the same IP

address (or that of the PC).
8 When you have configured all your devices, return the PC to

its original settings, or change them as appropriate for your
network.
9 You are now ready to take your device(s) off the isolated
network and connect them to the main network. See
“Attaching the Devices to the Network” on page 21.
Using the Serial Port Connection

To configure your IndigoVision 9000 unit using the serial port,
you require an RS232 null modem serial cable.

Binary I/O Voltages less than 24 volts

The Binary inputs on the IndigoVision 9000 allow you to connect
external trigger sources to the device.
There are four binary inputs on the IndigoVision 9000, and two
binary outputs.
Note: For information on configuring alarms from binary inputs,

please see the IndigoVision 8000/9000 Web
Configuration Guide.
For supply voltages less than 24V DC, no external resistor is
required as the unit has an internal resistor fitted. The input
voltage (Vin) must be less than 1Vdc, or open circuit, for a logic
low, and greater than 4Vdc for a logic high.

Binary I/O Input Voltages greater than 24 volts

For input voltages greater than 24V DC, an external resistor is
required in series with the input pin. The value of this resistor can
be calculated as:
R = [ 100 * (VON - 1) - 1500 ] ohms rounded down to the nearest
preferred resistor value, where VON is the desired voltage for a
logic high.
eg. for VON = 48Vdc
R = [ 100 *( 48 - 1 ) - 1500 ]
= 4700 - 1500 = 3200
~ 3K
Caution: Input voltages above 50Vpk at Vin will irrevocably

damage the unit.
