[Device IP], IP of "add encoding device".
[IP Segment], when checking [IP Segment], it may add the IP of encoding device in
batch. For example, if adding IP of 1.1.1.1 at [Device IP], 1.1.1.20 at [IP Segment], it
will add 20 encoding devices whose IP ranges from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.20.
[Port], communication port of "add encoding device".
Add network alarm host:

Note: For network alarm device, it is required to set and add the DVR type device to
the client.
Proxy information:
[Proxy Type] consists of [General Proxy] and [Middleware Proxy].
As for [General Proxy], it is required to fill in [Device IP], [Device ID] (void), [Proxy
IP] (proxy server IP), and in [Proxy Port] (proxy server port) respectively. As shown

Figure 6.1.7
[Tiandy Domain Name], decoded by Tiandy DNS. By this time, it is similar with
decoding configuration of private domain name, and it is not required to configure
DNS IP and port; internally, it is configured based on default IP and port and external
network should be accessible from the client.
- 23 -
 [Active Mode], the device could be connected in the active mode. By this time, it
should add [Device ID], [Directory Server IP], [Directory Server Port], [DNS

operations on the front-end device, the protocol type is required to bring into
correspondence with the front-end device.
[Serial Port Number], five types are available for user's choice, namely 232, 485-1,
485-2, 485-3 and 485-4 respectively. If you intend to control the cradle head and
perform other operations on the front-end device, the serial port number is required to
bring into correspondence with the front-end device.

cradle head and perform other operations on the front-end device, the PTZ address is
required to bring into correspondence with the front-end device.
[Baud rate], if you intend to control the cradle head and perform other operations on
the front-end device, the Baud rate is required to bring into correspondence with the
front-end device.
[Set Decryption Key of Video], the user could make a choice about whether to set
the video decryption (set IE in the device and encrypt).
[Decryption Key], set the contents of decryption key.
6.1.2.2 Add and delete

The system will automatically fill the relevant information of encoding device
that the alarm port is located in corresponding positions, making it convenient for
modification.
[Alarm Port Type], type of alarm port displayed, which is unchangeable.
[Alarm Port Name], the user could fill in the alarm port name as required.
[Alarm Port Number], the user could fill in the alarm port number as required, which
is unrepeatable with the existing port number however.

which is unchangeable.
[Host IP], the system adds automatically the IP of encoding device selected, which is
unchangeable.
[Alarm Port Description] the user can fill in simple description of the alarm port as
required.
6.1.3.2 Add and delete the alarm port
Modifying the information interface of the encoding device can add or delete
according to the numbers of alarm input and alarm output.
6.1.4 Grouping management
Click [Grouping] to enter the grouping management interface, and you will see
all device information and custom group information of the current system. As shown
in Figure 6.1.21, the custom list has the functions of "move up" and "move down".
Select a node, click the "move up" button, the node will move up to a position; click
the "move down" button, the node will move down to a position.

- 31 -
 Figure 6.1.21
The information in the device list on the left introduces all added encoding
devices automatically generated by the system and their channels information. The
custom list on the right is the grouping information defined by the user. The user can
add the encoding devices and their channels on the left to the custom grouping on the
right as per his needs for the convenience of management. For example: if adding all
channels of device 10.30.20.242 in the device list to the custom grouping
10.30.20.242 in the custom list, the operation procedures are as follows:
1. Select all channels of device 10.30.20.242 in the device list;
2. Select the custom grouping to be added in the custom list.

3. Click to add.
4. Or, drag all the channels of 10.30.20.242 with the mouse to a certain custom group
in the list on the right. As shown in Figure 6.1.22

- 32 -
 Figure 6.1.22

Similarly, select the appropriate channels in the custom group and click , it
will delete the channels from the custom group. Or, directly use the mouse to drag the
node to be deleted out of the custom group on the right.
(Note: in the encoding device list of Easy 7 client, it displays the information of
custom group, therefore, if the user wants to see the channel of a certain encoding
device in the Easy7 client, he must add the device into the custom group.
