Viewing images across the network
D4 can use either a web browser or Network Viewing Software to view images
across the network. The Network Viewing Software can be downloaded from the
unit onto your local PC using the network connection.
To download the network viewing software:
1. Open your web browser software on your PC.
2. Enter the IP address of the D4 in the ‘Address’ box in Internet Explorer or
Netscape and press Enter. Remove all preceding 0’s, i.e. 123.123.123.001 in
the D4 should be entered as 123.123.123.1 in the web browser.
3. A web page from the D4 is loaded. Click on the ‘PC viewer application’ icon,
you will be prompted to Save or Run the program.
4. Select ‘Run this application from its current location’.
5. The software will download and install, follow onscreen prompts.
6. The program can be found in Start>Programs>DM Network Viewer.
Details of using the Network Viewing Software can be found in the ‘User Guide’
in the Network Viewing Software folder.
The minimum specification PC for viewing images over a network is:
• 500Mhz CPU
• 64MB RAM
• 4MB video card (capable of 16 million colours)
• Minimum of 800x600 screen resolution
Viewing images across the network using a web browser
It is possible to use Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5.X and above) and
Netscape Navigator (version 4.7X and above) to view images from a D4. Follow
the instructions above to display the D4 web page, but click on the ‘Web viewer’
icon instead of the ‘PC viewer application’ icon. It will be necessary to enter a
username and password at this point, the default username and password is
user and password.
Note: The web viewer does not have all the features of the Network Viewing
Software, but it is useful if it is not possible to download the software, or if you
want to view the images from an offsite location i.e. via the web.
Viewing images across the network using an Apple Mac or Linux
There is limited support for viewing images using an Apple Mac or Linux based
operating system using Netscape Navigator 4.7X web browser.
Connecting dial-up devices
D4 supports a PPP (Point to Point Protocol) connection from the RS-232 serial
port. This port allows an external Hayes compatible modem to be connected to
the serial port of the D4.
To make a dial-up connection in Windows®, Click on Start > Help, and type in
‘Dial Up’ in the search window. A description of making a dial-up connection to
another PC should be displayed.
Note: If a dial-up connection is used, the default PPP address, is 172.17.2.2.
This can be found in ‘Network Settings’ in the ‘System Options’ page.
Important Note: Contact your local DM office for advice on compatible
modems.
