Recorders can be accessed at the same time from the same web browser window using tabs.
In this section, the term “unit” refers to PIX 250i, PIX 260i, or PIX 270i Video Recorders, or the 970
Audio Recorder.
PIXNET only supports a single client (browser) connection to a unit at one time. Accessing PIXNET on
a single unit from multiple clients simultaneously is not supported. Control access to units with Setup
Menu option
[Network - Authentication] .
The PIX 250i’s web IP address must be determined before accessing PIXNET:
1. Make sure that the PIX 250i is powered on and connected to a network or directly to a com-
puter via one of the rear panel Ethernet connectors.
2. The PIX 250i must have a unique name when controlling multiple PIX 250i units via PIXNET.
Verify that the PIX 250i has a unique name in [Network - This PIX’s Name].
3. The PIX 250i can automatically find a unique IP Address when
[Network - Auto IP Settings] is set to On. This is the recommended method for setting
up IP connections on the PIX 250i. If needed, the IP settings can be manually entered. To
manually enter IP settings, set [Network - Auto IP Settings] to Off. Then manually en-
ter [Network - IP Address - Subnet Mask -Gateway] values.
4. PIXNET supports connection to a single client. Control access to the PIX 250i by configuring a
user name and password from Setup Menu option [Network - Authentication].
5. Open the web browser and enter the IP address displayed on the PIX 250i OSD or listed in
[Network - IP Address] into the web browser’s address bar. Enter the credentials supplied in
step 4 when prompted.
