Use this guide for the first-time setup of the ADPRO FastTrace Remote Access DVR.
The setup procedure is the same for 5-channel, 10-channel and 20-channel models.

Installation and Setup Manual
Null-modem cable 1m (3ft)
9-way screw terminal plug

CHECK FACTORY DIPSWITCH SETTINGS AS SHOWN
Make sure that the unit is set to operate to the appropriate video
standard for the region, either PAL or NTSC (check DIPswitch
10 for correct position).
To complete the first time setup, you will need a PC running
Windows NT or Windows 2000, with an unused serial port or an
Ethernet Port and a CD-ROM drive.
Installing FastTrace PC Viewer Program:
Start the PC and insert the ADPRO FastTrace PC Viewer CD-ROM. If the 'autorun' feature is used, the ADPRO
FastTrace PC Viewer setup wizard will load. If autorun is not enabled, find and run the CD-ROM file named
cdmenu.exe.
Select the Install FastTrace PC Viewer option. Follow the setup wizard instructions and accept ALL the default settings.
Exit from the menu when finished, but leave the CD-ROM in the drive.
NOTE: If using the Windows NT system on the PC, please refer to the IMPORTANT NOTES section on Page 4.
Configuring the FastTrace PC Viewer & FastTrace:
The FastTrace's User Settings menu is accessed by the FastTrace PC Viewer software. Access can be made in two
ways, via the PC's serial (comms) port or via the network port.
Using the Serial Port to access FastTrace:
When using serial port connection, the 1m (3ft) null-modem cable
(supplied) is used. (Note: should a longer cable be required, the
wiring diagram is shown on Page 3 of this guide).
The serial comms (COM) port on the PC must be configured for
operation as follows:
Data rate = 115,200 bps, Data bits = 8, Parity = none, Stop-bits
= 1, Flow control = hardware
Note: To change the settings on the COM ‘n’ port, go to:
Windows NT: Control Panel / Ports / COM 'n'
Windows 2000: Control Panel / System /
Hardware / Device Manager /
Ports / COM 'n' / Port Settings
Ensure the FastTrace is free-standing with no obstruction to
airflow (cooling fan at rear)
Connect the cable between the FastTrace "COMMS 2" port and
the PC’s serial port (see diagram)
