Ethernet / LAN
The LAN connection (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) can be used
for controlling the Visualizer over a computer network, image transfers and firmware updates.
The Visualizer has a built-in web server and can be accessed through a standard Internet
browser from a connected PC. No additional software is required for image transfers and
controlling. Only firmware updates via LAN require additional software (It can be
downloaded from: www.wolfvision.com/support).
Supported protocols are: TCP/IP, ICMP, ARP

Connecting the Visualizer to a computer / network
There are two methods to establish a LAN connection between the Visualizer and a computer or
network:
Method 1: Direct connection using a cross-over cable
If you want to connect the Visualizer to only one computer just connect the LAN-port (RJ-45) of
the Visualizer to the LAN-port of your computer using an cross-over Ethernet cable (UTP
Category 5).
Please note:
With this direct connection the length of the cable is limited.
It depends on the quality of the cable and the quality of the network card of the PC how long the cable can be.
However we recommend that it should not be longer than approx. 10m (30 feet).
For longer cable runs use straight network cables and a Hub or Switch (see method 2).
Connect the LAN-port (RJ-45) of the Visualizer to the Hub or Switch using an Ethernet straight
cable (UTP Category 5). Any port of the Hub/Switch can be used, except the cascade port (This
port has a cross-over connection).
Please note:
When connecting the Visualizer to the other unit on the network, the communication protocol of the two units
is adjusted automatically to 10BASE-T/100BASE-T and HDX/FDX (i.e. “Automatic negotiation”). Therefore it is
necessary that the unit communicating with the Visualizer also supports automatic negotiation. However
nearly all units today support this standard.
Method 2: Network connection using a Hub or Switch
Ethernet straight cable Ethernet straight cables
Host
HUB / Switch Host
PREVIEW USB LAN
Before the Visualizer can be accessed from the web browser of the computer, the IP-addresses
of both units must be set to IP-addresses which allow them to communicate with each other.
The easiest method is to set the Visualizer to automatically receive the settings for IP-address,
Subnet Mask and Gateway from a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server on your
network. All Visualizers support DHCP servers.
By default, DHCP is activated on all units, changeable to manual settings in the on-screen menu.
IP address from DHCP
Subnet mask from DHCP
Gateway from DHCP
Please note:
On VZ-9, DHCP is supported on units with serial number 095501 and higher. Older VZ-9 units require manual
settings.
If the computer is in the same IP-address space (i.e. if it starts with 192.168...) and the default IP-
address of the Visualizer (192.168.0.100) is not already in use by another unit in the same
network, the Visualizer and computer can communicate immediately. If not, either the IP-address
of the Visualizer or the IP-address of the computer must be changed.
It is recommended to leave the network address of the computer as it is (because in most cases
it is also used for other network operations) and to set the IP-address of the Visualizer to an
address in the same IP-address space.
The address spaces available for internal networks either begin with 192.168.x.x. or with
10.x.x.x).
If you work in a larger network ask your computer network administrator for an available IP-
address for the Visualizer. For a small network (without an administrator) use this method to find
out the IP-address of your PC: Under Windows 2000/XP go to Start - Programs -Accessories -
Command Prompt and type "ipconfig".
If your IP address is (for example): 10.0.0.4 then set the Visualizer to an address beginning with
10.0.0. which is not already in use by another unit. For example: 10.0.0.100.
If your IP address is (for example): 192.168.0.7 and you are unable to communicate with the
Visualizer, maybe there is another unit on the network using the IP-address 192.168.0.100.
Try setting it to a different address in the same address space (for example: 192.168.0.209).
The "Gateway" is the IP-address of the internet router (or internet gateway) of your network. If
you only work with the Visualizer on a local network a gateway setting is not required. Only if you
want to access the Visualizer over the internet the IP-address of your internet router/gateway
must be added in the gateway field.
Please Note:
If the gateway setting is not available on a VZ-9 Visualizer, it is necessary to upgrade the firmware of the VZ-9
to version v1.10a or later, because older firmware versions did not support the gateway feature.
More information on firmware updates can be found at: www.wolfvision.com/wolf/fware.html
The IP-address, Subnet mask and Gateway-address of the Visualizer can be changed in the
Visualizer's on-screen menu (see next page).

Setting the IP-addresses of the Visualizer and the PC
In order to access the built-in web server of the
Visualizer just open the standard web browser
on your PC and type the IP-address of the
Visualizer in the address field.
Then you will see the start page of the
Visualizer. If not please check the cable
connection or the IP-addresses of the
Visualizer and PC (see previous page).
Please note:
Even if the image is frozen on the Visualizer, the
image output to the network will not be affected. The
split-screen (image memory) is not available through
the network.

Changing the IP-Address of the Visualizer
- Start the Visualizer, enter the on screen menu and select
Advanced Settings / Ethernet Settings.
- Set Ethernet Protect to OFF and change the IP-address,
subnet mask and Gateway to the desired value.
- Confirm the new settings (the confirm line will appear on
the screen after the network settings are changed)
- Set Ethernet mode to:
IMAGE AND CONTROL
IMAGE ONLY
CONTROL ONLY
OFF
Please note:
- In the Ethernet mode menu, the availability of
image transfer and remote control function can
be selected.
- In picture 3, you can see the default settings with deactivated
DHCP.
- If there is more than one unit with the same IP-address within
the network, a network conflict will occur and both units may not
be able to communicate with the network anymore, as long as
they both have the same IP-address. Therefore, set the IP-
address carefully!
- VZ-9 Visualizers with Firmware lower then v1.10a need a
Firmware Update in order to support the Gateway-function.
- VZ-9 Visualizers with serial numbers lower then 095501 do not
support DHCP.
- New layout of on-screen menu since firmware version v2.02a.
Firmware update files can be downloaded for free at

Displaying live images
When the LIVE-link [LIVE] is clicked on the
start page, a live image from the Visualizer
is displayed. In addition the web browser
will also open a new window with a remote
control of the Visualizer.
Please note that JavaScript must be
enabled in order to see the live image.
Popups need to be enabled.
The frame rate of the live image is max.
3.75 frames per second. It depends on
the processing capacity of the PC, the
network environment, the number of
connected units etc.
Please note:
If the Visualizer is switched off while a live image is in display, the PC displaying the live image may
(depending on the web browser in use) continue the internal processing even if the web browser is closed.
Normally, this causes no problem. However, if this is repeated again and again, the operation of the host may
become unstable. In this case restart your PC.
Displaying still images
When clicking the CAPTURE-link of the Visualizer start page, a still image with 1024x768 pixels
from the Visualizer is displayed. Using the CAPTURE-PREVIEW-link a still image with 512x384
pixels is displayed. These images can be saved with the save function of your web browser (In
Internet Explorer right-click on the image and use "Save image...").
Operation of remote control
When the LIVE-link [LIVE] at the Visualizer main page is clicked, a Live image is displayed and
also a new window with a remote control for the Visualizer will be opened.
Please note:
The CONTROL-page is only available, if the control function is activated in the Visualizer’s on screen menu.

network area (LAN) or Internet. With Internet selection,
the respective IP-address has to be entered (contact
your network administrator).
Please note:
If a Visualizer is behind a firewall and should be discovered over
the internet, the following ports should be allowed for
communication on the firewall: 50913 and 50914 for UDP/TCP
traffic.
When one or more Visualizers will be detected that are
not in the computers network IP address range, a
message will appear "Unreachable Visualizer found".
If you want to use these Visualizers as well, please talk
to your network administrator or the change the IP
address of the according devices to be in the IP address
range of the current network.
