Basic System Setup Procedure
■
Define a System Domain
● Number of System Domains
By definition, each system domain must have a Server PC. (If it is a redundant system, it must have two Server
PCs). The system can consist of up to 64 system domains.
● Domain ID and CPU Unit ID Assignments
For each Server PC, you must assign a Unit ID.
● Enter Unit ID in the WV-ASC970 Admin
In the WV-ASC970 Admin Domain menu, select the CPU Units, and enter the unit information into the fields provid-
ed.
● Enter Unit ID in the System Configuration File
In each Server PC, there is a system configuration file named sys.ini. You can view and edit the file through
WV-ASC970 Admin Console. For each new system domain that is set up, you need to enter the correct system Unit
ID in the [UNIT] section of the sys.ini file. The following is the text from the sys.ini file’s [UNIT] section.
[UNIT]
***{ The unit ID should be the same as the one defined in }
***{ the Global Admin database for this unit. }
***{ For single-unit systems, use ID=1. (ID=0 is invalid) }
ID=1

Define i-Pro Video Switch Nodes
● i-Pro Video Switch Node
An i-Pro video switch node consists of one or more i-Pro camera devices (include video encoder) and video decod-
er devices (WJ-GXD400). An i-Pro video switch node can be in a single system domain or across multiple system
domains.
● i-Pro Video Switch Node and its Domain
An i-Pro video switch node can include many camera/encoder and decoder devices. In the case of a single domain
system, such as the system on page 14, all the camera/encoder and decoder devices will be assigned to that
domain.
The i-Pro switch node can split into multiple system domains. In the case of a multiple domain system, the system
designer has to decide which domain the encoder and decoder devices should belong to.
For the system on page 19, we decided that camera 1-1 to 1-8 and decoder 1-1 are in domain 1, while camera 2-1
to 2-8 and decoder 2-1 are in domain 2.
In general, we recommend that you should search for a nearby Server and assign camera/encoder or decoder
devices to the same Unit ID of the Server.
