Direct Serial Connection Multi-Device Server: Like a direct connection to a
single device, this option allows you to specify the device type and adjust serial
port parameters. In this case you will also specify the number of sources, identi-
ertype(textornumeric),andidentiervalue.Nameandassociateacamerawith
each source.
IVQuad: An IVQuad hub accepts up to four direct serial sources and feeds them
into one input on the rear of the DVR. Enable each input used on the IVQ4. Select
the Device Type for each input. No additional port setup is required. Name and
associate the proper camera with each source.
Network Single Data Device: Set device type and network port number. On the
next screen name the device and associate a camera with it.
Network Multi-Device Server: Set the network port number and quantity of
devices. On the next screen do the following for each device: enter a name, set
the device type, associate a camera, and enter the device’s IP address.
Testing Data Capture
If you enabled serial sources, switch to Live Status Mode. Create a data transac-
tion and observe that data is displayed in the POS Data section of the Live Status
Mode screen. Repeat for each source. Another way of troubleshooting is to use
the Capture Device Data Utility which allows you to view and save raw data from
the serial 1 or network port on the DVR. This can be also used to save transaction
datatosendtoImageVaulttocreateltersforneworuniquePOSdevices.Ifyou
experienceproblemsverifyyourhardwareconguration(PartI,Section3.11)and
your Data Stream Setup. If you are unable to resolve a problem with reasonable
effort, please contact Image Vault Technical Service (1.888.462.4382) for direction.
