Chapter 2 Installing on a Network
Through a network connection, you can access the controller’s Web interface and connect it
to access control software for more comprehensive management. There are three ways to
set up the controller on network.
1. By default, when the controller is connected to a network with a DHCP server, a
dynamic IP address will be assigned to the controller. See 2.1 Checking the Dynamic IP
Address to look up its IP address.
2. When the DHCP server on your network is unavailable or disabled, the controller is
accessible by its default IP address 192.168.0.100. See 2.2 Configuring the Static IP
Address.
3. You may also use a DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) server to access the
controller. For details on domain name service, see 2.3 Configuring DDNS Connection.
5
2.1 Checking the Dynamic IP Address
Follow the steps below to look up the IP address and access the Web interface of the
controller.
1. Download and install GV-IP Device Utility from our website.
2. On the GV-IP Device Utility window, click the button to search for the IP devices
connected in the same LAN.
3. Click the Name or Mac Address column to sort.
4. Find the controller with its MAC address, click on its IP address and select Web Page.
Figure 2-1
5. When the login dialog box appears, type the default admin for both username and
password and click OK to log in.
Note: The PC installed with GV-IP Device Utility must be under the same LAN as the
controller you wish to configure.

2.2 Configuring the Static IP Address
By default, the controller uses a DHCP connection. However, you can follow the instructions
below to configure a static IP address.
1. Open an Internet browser, and type the default IP address https://192.168.0.100 or the
dynamic IP address. The login dialog box appears.
2. Type default value admin for both username and password, and click OK. This page
appears.
Figure 2-2
3. In the DHCP Client section, select Disable. Type the static IP address information,
including IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and Domain Name Server.
4. Click Submit. When the setting is complete, the Status field will indicate Register
Success. Then the controller can be accessed with this fixed IP address.
2.3 Configuring DDNS Connection
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) provides another way to access the controller when
using a dynamic IP. DDNS assigns a domain name to the controller so that it can always be
accessed using the domain name. The controller supports two DDNS services: GeoVision
DDNS and DynDNS.org (Dynamic Network Services Inc.).
7
To enable the DDNS function, you first should register a domain name from one of the two
supported DDNS service provider’s websites.
Figure 2-3
2.3.1 Registering a DDNS Domain Name
To obtain a domain name from the GeoVision DDNS Server:
1. Click the GeoVision DDNS button on the Network Configuration page (Figure 2-2). Or
open an Internet browser, and type the Web address http://ns.gvdip.com/register.aspx.
The GV-Dynamic DNS Service V2 page appears.
Note:
1. Dynamic DNS uploads IP addresses over the Internet through ports 80 and 81. If your
controller is behind a router or firewall, make sure the two ports are enabled. Dynamic
DNS will only upload global IP addresses. If your controller uses virtual IP, NAT port
mapping should be done first.
2. The DDNS service is provided purely as a favor to you. We hope it simplifies the process
of trying to connect an IP video device to the network. GeoVision does not and cannot
warrant that the DDNS service will be uninterrupted or error free. Please read Terms of
Service carefully before using the service.

Figure 2-5
2. Type a Hostname and Password based on the requirements noted on the page.
3. Type the characters or numbers shown for word verification, and click Send.
4. When the registration is complete, this page appears. The Hostname is the domain
name, consisting of the registered username and “gvdip.com”, e.g.
somerset02.gvdip.com.
Figure 2-6
9
2.3.2 Configuring the Controller on Internet
After acquiring a domain name from the DDNS Server, you need to configure the registered
domain name on the controller in order to access the unit by the domain name on Internet.
1. Open an Internet browser, and type the controller’s IP address. The login dialog box
appears.
2. Type the username and password of the controller, and click OK. The Network
Configuration page appears.
3. Select Enable DDNS.
4. Type Host Name, User Name and Password that are registered on the DDNS Server. If
GeoVision DDNS is used, the system will automatically bring up the Host Name.
Figure 2-7
5. Click Submit. When the setting is complete, the Status field will indicate: Register
Success. Then the controller can be accessed with the domain name.
Note:
1. The registered username will be invalid when it is not used for three months.
2. For GV-AS1620 firmware V2.00 or later: Optionally, you can type the backup DNS next
to Override Primary Domain Name Server under the DHCP Client section to prevent
the malfunction of the set DNS.

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
Q1: GV-ASManager cannot connect to the controller over the Internet.
The issue can be caused by a number of factors, including IP address conflict, incorrect
connection settings, and network failure. Follow the steps below to assign a fixed IP to the
GV-ASManager and the controller, respectively. This procedure can determine whether the
issue is caused by faulty devices or incorrect network settings.
1. Disconnect the hub or switch, which connects both the GV-ASManager and the controller,
from the Internet.
2. Give the GV-ASManager a fixed IP address that is NOT used by another device under
the LAN, e.g. 192.168.0.154.
Figure 5-1
3. Reset the controller to factory defaults. For details, see 3.1.1 System Setup.
4. Log in the controller using the default IP: http://192.168.0.100

Q3: GV-ASManager cannot receive card messages but the reader accepts the
card when the connection between the GV-ASManager and GV-AS1620 is well
established.
It may be due to memory failure in the controller. Reset the controller module to factory
settings. For details, see 3.1.1 System Setup.
Q4: After I added a card on GV-ASManager and then presented it to the reader,
the message “Access Denied Invalid Card” still appears.
It may be the card format is not compatible with the controller. Make sure the card format is
64 bits. Otherwise, send us the related information of your card format so that we can
customize the setting for you.
Q5: GV-ASManager cannot receive card messages from the reader connected
to the controller through RS-485 interface.
1. Make sure the reader is correctly wiring to the controller.
2. Make sure the reader has been defined on the controller. See 3.3 Extended Device for
details.
