steps to connect to the DVR server.
1. Click the Windows Start button, and then select Run.
2. Type \\<serverHostName>\media$ where <serverHostName> is the name of the server; for example, if Pelco1 is the name of the server,
type \\Pelco1\media$.
The Connect to <serverHostName> window appears.
3. Type the following user name and password:
User name: Avuser
Password: 1234
4. Click Remember my Password.

ADD A PELCO ASCII SWITCHER
The Pelco ASCII device driver controls cameras routed through a Pelco matrix switcher using the Pelco ASCII protocol.
Each instance of the Pelco ASCII device driver can support a single switcher and multiple cameras. If you have more than one switcher to
configure, add the device driver to the server configuration once for each switcher. Refer to the Device Drivers section for information on adding
device drivers.
The Pelco ASCII device driver supports the following Pelco switchers:
• CM6700 Series
• CM6800 Series
• CM9700 Series
Before you can add a device to the server configuration, you must first start the device driver—either on the server workstation or on the
network—and then add the driver to the server configuration. Refer to the Device Drivers section for instructions.
1. Navigate the Object Browser tree to [project name] > Device Drivers > Pelco ASCII Driver > Switchers.
2. Double-click <Add New Device>. The Add New Switcher dialog box appears.
You can also configure switcher settings after you have added the switcher to the server configuration. Right-click the switcher, and then
select Edit from the pop-up menu. The Edit Properties dialog box appears, which contains the same tabs and fields as the Add New
Switcher dialog box.
3. Configure the switcher settings, as described in the following sections. Note that you must configure the switcher settings in VMX300(-E)
to match the switcher settings configured through the management system provided with the switcher. Refer to the appropriate switcher
installation/operation manual for information on switcher settings.
4. Click OK to close the Add New Device dialog box.
5. Add ASCII cameras to the server configuration. Refer to the Add an ASCII Camera section.
6. Configure the analog connections between the switcher, cameras, and output devices. Refer to the ASCII Connections section.
