Modifying the System Configuration
The ViconNet system default configuration can be modified, depending on your requirements, as described
in the following sections:
• Configuring the Network Setup, below, describes how to configure the network setup for each device
in the system, including which device is running the master Nucleus and which device is running the
backup Nucleus.
• Configuring/Modifying Cameras, Microphones, Sensors and Relays, page 68, describes how to
configure which devices are available and operational in the system.
• Configuring/Modifying PTZ Controls, page 77, describes how to configure PTZ camera controls,
such as driver and version information.
Configuring the Network Setup
The network setup parameters are configured individually for each device in the ViconNet system. Network
setup configuration is performed using the ViconNet application installed on each device. When setting up a
network, one of the sites must be assigned as a Nucleus and the other sites in the network must know
where this Nucleus is. Each site (either a transmitter or a Workstation) has the option to input the Nucleus
IP address.
Devices that share the same subnet mask can connect to the same Nucleus and form a system, which
enables them to connect to each other. This includes the ability to synchronize multiple devices with the
Nucleus time or update all the time settings to another time zone.
To configure the network setup, you must specify both the master Nucleus IP on all devices and may
choose to specify the backup Nucleus IP addresses on the device running the master Nucleus. The backup
Nucleus setup is configured only on the master Nucleus device. When a backup Nucleus is defined on the
Nucleus device, the settings of the Nucleus device are copied automatically to a folder on the backup
Nucleus device defined to be the “Backup.” These “backup” settings are updated under three conditions:
• Each time the Nucleus device is restarted or the user Exits the ViconNet software and then
launches it again.
• Each time the user makes any setup changes on the Nucleus device and clicks the Close button
on the Setup screen.
• Each time the “backup Nucleus” device is restarted or the user Exits the ViconNet software and
then launches it again.
NOTES:
If the Nucleus goes down, any device that uses that master Nucleus will automatically shift to local
operation mode. This means that it will use the latest Nucleus configuration from before losing the Nucleus
and will keep operating without a Nucleus.
The Nucleus and backup Nucleus must have fixed IP addresses. DHCP cannot be used on the site running
the Nucleus (for more details, refer to the Configuring the DHCP section in Appendix B, Configuring the
Network).
