Installation Guide
About this Document
This document contains installation instructions for installing a Raven-M Video Server on
your network.
Chapter 1:
Introduction
The Raven-M is a standalone DSP based multimedia server supplying compressed video
and audio streams over a TCP/IP network via standard RTP/RTSP streaming protocols.
In addition, nodes supporting video and audio output may also act as clients, receiving
streams from other nodes on the network and playing them to the local outputs.
For streaming video and running the Object Video OnBoard video analysis software, the
Mango IVS 3.0 application is used.
The Raven-M uses one TI DM642 DSP as one network node for two analog video inputs,
one video output, one stereo audio input, and one stereo audio output.
Follow the steps outlined in this document for a successful installation of the Raven-M on
you Local Area Network (LAN).
1. Check the package contents
2. Connect the video camera to the Raven-M server
3. Connect the Raven-M to the network
4. Setup the network
5. Connect the external power supply

Serial Ports: The Raven-M has one serial DB-9 connector, which contains an RS232 and
an RS485/RS422 interface. Pinout information for the DB-9 connectors can be found in
Chapter 5 of this document.
24-pin I/O Terminal Connector: The Raven-M board provides four sets of STDP type
relay contacts. Each is comprised of the Common Contact, the Normally Closed Contact,
and the Normally Open Contact. The current through the contacts should not exceed
1Amp. The Raven-M board also provides four TTL alarm inputs. The alarm inputs are
designed as a digital logic input (pulled up high to 3.3VDC). Pinout information for the
24-pin Terminal Block can be found in the Raven-M Installation Guide.
Ethernet ports: The Raven-M board connects to the network using a standard Ethernet
cable.
DC Power Input: Connection to the external DC power supply.

Chapter 4:
Preliminary Settings
Hardware Setup
Connect the power supply to the DC input on the rear of the unit and plug it in. Within a
few seconds the front panel LEDs should light up, indicating that the unit is functional
and ready for network connections.
Network Setup
The Raven-M must be configured for use with your LAN so that it will be accessible and
will not interfere with other network hosts. However, the default setting for new units
may not be compatible with your network.
Consult your network administrator if you are on a corporate LAN and are
unsure about any of the following steps.
You first need to set up the computer so you can access the board with the default
settings that usually come with the shipped board.
You can see the board on your network by pinging the board or by using the
NetBoardDiscovery utility as described in the procedure.
You can then change the network settings to suit whatever address you want for the
board.
The following procedure assumes you are using a Windows 2000/XP
computer that receives its IP address automatically from the network
environment using DHCP, but the general procedure would be the same for
any environment or operating system.
To set up the network connections:
1. Disconnect your workstation from the network and, using a crossed LAN cable or
an Ethernet switch, connect it to the network input on your Raven-M.
2. Right-click the My Network Places icon on the Windows desktop and select
Properties.
The Network and Dial-up Connections window appears.
3. Right-click the Local Area Connection and select Properties.
The Local Area Connections Properties window appears.

5. Select the Use the following IP address option.
6. Change the settings according to the settings in the Figure below using an IP
address that is different than the IP address of the board, such as
192.168.0.10.
Figure 7: IP Address
This will enable you to access the Raven-M, which is initially set to the fixed IP address
192.168.0.62.
7. Click OK.
You should now be able to ping the Raven-M.
8. Open a command window: From the Start menu choose Run; In the Run window
text-box type cmd and click OK.
9. In the CMD window, type: ping 192.168.0.62
The result should look like the window to below. If you do not receive a reply, make
sure you have followed all steps above.

Using NetBoardDiscovery:
Another way to discover the IP address given to your board is by running the
NetBoardDiscovery utility included with this package. This Windows-based application
listens for all Raven boards on the network and displays their IP address, MAC address,
board type and version information.
When you run the NetBoardDiscovery utility, a screen appears which shows all the
boards on the network as shown in Figure 9 below.

Preliminary Settings
Since you are connected directly to the Raven-M board you do not see other
boards on the network.
Each node comes with a pre-set and globally unique MAC address. You cannot modify
this address.
Changing the IP Address of the Raven-M board
To change the IP address of the board:
1. To access the Web configuration, open a web browser (supported browsers are
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 and later and Mozilla Firefox) and in the
address text-box enter the unit's IP address. (For example, enter the following IP
address: http://192.168.0.62.)
You should receive the following page (the exact version information may, of course,
vary):

3. Insert the password and click OK; the Network Settings screen appears.
4. You should see the current IP Address of the Raven-M board (192.168.0.62).
Figure 13: Network Settings Setup
5. In the Network Settings area you can configure the Raven-M for your network.
For this example change the IP Address to 192.168.70.70.
It is recommended that you use the "Fixed" setting and set the network
settings manually. If, however, you wish to use DHCP for automatic
configuration, you can enter a unique hostname and select “Auto: Use
DHCP”. Be forewarned, however, that the given hostname is not registered
in the DHCP server while obtaining the IP address and therefore has no
practical use.
Click Save when done, to confirm your new settings. You will be prompted to reset the
board. Press on Click here to reset the board.

You have now completed setup for your network node.
Once reset has completed the Raven-M board is connected and ready to begin working
with the web server IVS 3.0 software. The Web browser will automatically redirect to the
About page.
You can view the new network setting on the Network Setting page. You can also use
the NetBoardDiscovery utility, or ping the board. It should now be safe to connect the
unit to your LAN. Remember to undo the changes made to your workstation’s LAN
settings. Make sure everything is functioning by pinging the node using the new IP
address or hostname. The new settings are burned to nonvolatile Flash memory and will
remain until changed.
To ping the Raven-M board:
1. Open a command window: From the Start menu choose Run; In the Run window
text-box type cmd and click OK.
2. In the CMD window, type: ping 192.168.70.70 (or whatever the new IP
address is set to).

Accessing the Board with
the RS232 Serial Port
By connecting an RS232 cable between a PC and the board's serial port, the board may
be accessed to configure network parameters. This is especially useful in the unlikely
event of the board being inaccessible over the network. Simply run terminal emulation
software such as HyperTerminal or Tera Term (under Windows) or Minicom (under
Linux) on the PC and set it to 9600 baud, 8-N-1.
If you don’t have an RS232 port on
your PC you can connect the server to the USB port on your PC with a USB to RS232
cable.
T0 run HyperTerminal press Start, Programs, Accessories, Communications, and
HyperTerminal.
Running HyperTerminal
To run the HyperTerminal application you need to set up and configure a HyperTerminal
session connection.
The following settings are required:
Bits per second: 9600; Data bits: 8; No parity; Stop bits: 1.
To run HyperTerminal:

Configuring the Board
There are two types of system consoles that can be used through the RS232 connection:
the IP Configuration Console for resetting the hardware and setting up network
parameters, and the Serial Port Diagnostic Mode Console for resetting the board, loading
the board in failsafe mode, updating firmware, repairing the filesystem, running
diagnostics, changing the board baud rate, and changing the password.
IP Configuration Console
If you are connected on HyperTerminal to the server and power is applied, the Boot
Process is executed. The Boot Process takes the IVS application and loads it. If the
application is not interrupted and allowed to proceed, you will receive a message on the
screen saying that the loading was complete. If you do not hit a key then the Boot
Process will be allowed to complete and the following screen is displayed:
