Network Configuration

IPInstaller is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP address and network settings of the MVS. It even provides a convenient way to set the network settings for multiple devices simultaneously using the batch setting function. Moreover, IPInstaller can save the network settings for all devices as a backup and restore them when necessary.


Preparation before IP Assignment

  • Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your server in order to avoid using a previously assigned IP address
  • Ensure the MVS is powered on and correctly connected to the network
  • MAC Address: Each MVS has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address) shown on the bottom of the MVS as the serial number (S/N) with 12 digits (e.g. 000429-XXXXXX).



  • One final note, although the IPInstaller is able to find and configure any MVS on the LAN V except those that are behind a router V it is a good idea to set the host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to the Web UI of the MVS the host PC must be in the same subnet. For more information about subnets, please consult your network administrator.


Starting IP Installer

Once IPInstaller has been successfully installed on the computer, double click the IPInstaller icon on the desktop, or select it from Start > Programs > IPInstaller.



The IPInstaller window is displayed below.



Using IPInstaller


  1. From the list, select the device with the MAC Address that corresponds to the device that is to be configured.
  2. Double click the item to open the Property Page dialog box for the selected device or click the menu bar View > Property.
  3. After modifying the configuration, click Synchronize to activate the settings.
  4. Click OK to exit the Property Page dialog box.

Opening the Web UI

  1. To access the Web UI of the selected unit, right-click on an item in the list and select Open Web , or click View > Open Web on the menu bar.
  2. If the device has been configured correctly, the default Web browser will open to the MVS home page of the selected device.


  3. If the QuickTime Player has been properly installed, and the video input has been properly connected, then the MVS Web UI will display a live video stream.

    The MVS supports video display using either QuickTime (default) or ActiveX. The ActiveX control is only supported in Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows operating systems.

    If the device has been configured to display the video using the ActiveX control, when the Web UI opens for the first time through Internet Explorer, the Internet Security settings must be lowered to perform a one-time-only installation of the ActiveX component.

The procedure is as follows:

  • Before connecting to the MVS Web UI, from the Tools menu, select Internet Options .
  • Click the Security tab and take note of your current security settings.
  • Set the security level to Low and click OK .
  • Type the URL or IP address of the MVS into the Address field.
  • A dialog box will pop up asking if the ActiveX control should be installed.
  • Click Yes to start the installation.
  • Once the ActiveX installation is complete, return the security settings to their original value, as noted above.
