Supported NavNet TZtouch MFDrsquos will require software version 301 or newer Refer to the user

documentation that comes with the display to determin the current software versionTo update the

display also refer to the user documentation or refer to the Furuno web site

Setup

By default the camera and (and the JCU if used) are configured to automatically determine IP

addresses dynamically using a protocol called Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) To connect the M-Series

to the Furuno NavNet TZtouch network it is necessary to change the configuration of the MndashSeries

camera (and the JCU) to use static IP addresses rather than dynamic addresses

To change the IP address it is necessary to connect to the camera (or JCU) with a web browser and log

into the web configuration interface The easiest way to get to the web configuration interface is to

automatically discover the camera or JCU on the network through Windows Network using UPnP

Windows Network will discover UPnP devices on the network and provide a user interface to control

each device depending on the device type Windows Vista and Windows 7 automatically detect network

432-0003-02-28-en-US v100 Integration with Furuno Displays ndash Application Note

devices in the Network page If UPnP devices are hidden a prompt at the top of the screen will allow the

user to display hidden devices

UPnP is typically not active by default on older computers using Windows XP In order to use the Web

interface the PC may need to be set up to use UPnP For information on how to enable UPnP refer to

the ldquoUniversal Plug and Play (UPnP)rdquo section at the end of this document

Web Camera Control Page

First be sure the network interface on the PC is set up to use a dynamic address (select ldquoObtain an IP

address automaticallyrdquo) rather than a static address If the IP address of the camera is not known1 the

camera can be found from the Windows Network page (or from the ldquoMy Network Placesrdquo page if using

Windows XP) Once discovered through UPnP the camera (and the JCU if it is on the network) will be

displayed as an icon as shown below

Double click the camera icon to open the M-Series Web Camera Control page

1 If the IP address of the camera is known set the IP address on the PC to another address on the same logical

network open up a web browser and enter the IP address followed by ldquo8080rdquo in the URL field at the top of the

page to connect to the camera For example enter ldquo169254322418080rdquo and then press return

To set a static IP address select the Static option rather than Dynamic The screen will refresh and the

IP Mask and Gateway fields will change from gray to white indicating they can accept user entries To

configure the camera IP address to work with the Furuno network enter 192168252200 in the IP field

enter 2552552550 in the Mask field and then click the Save button It is not necessary to set a

Gateway address on the camera

The system displays a warning as it restarts the network

Note After the IP address of the camera has been changed the web browser will not be able to access

the new IP address since the PC is using an address on a different network If it is necessary to connect

to the camera with the web browser again set a static address on the PC using a different address within

the same logical subnet For example for a Furuno network the PC IP address can be 192168252205

with subnet mask 2552552550 Then try to reconnect with the web browser by entering the new

camera address followed by ldquo8080rdquo For example enter 1921682522008080 and press enter

432-0003-02-28-en-US v100 Integration with Furuno Displays ndash Application Note

Changing the IP Address of the JCU

The JCU communicates through the Ethernet IP protocol just like the M-Series camera does By default

each JCU is configured to obtain an IP address automatically Just like the camera it is necessary to

connect to the JCU with a web browser and log into its web configuration interface in order to change the

IP address on the JCU The easiest way to get to the web configuration interface is to automatically

discover the JCU on the network through Windows Network using UPnP Once the JCU icon appears

double click the icon to open up the M-Series JCU Web Interface The JCU control page displays with a

picture of the JCU

If the JCU icon does not appear in Windows Network it is possible to connect directly using the IP

Address On the JCU the IP address can be displayed by pressing the COLOR button and puck at the

same time The IP is displayed for 3 seconds and then the display returns to the camera name Type the

JCU IP address into the address bar of the browser followed by indexhtml and then press enter For

example 169254563indexhtml

Once the M-Series JCU Web Interface is displayed select Static (rather than Dynamic) and enter

192168252201 in the IP field The Mask should fill in automatically (2552552550) Click Save to save

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

In order to use the Web interface the PC may need to be set up to use Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

which may not be active on your PC UPnP is typically not active on older computers using Windows XP

but can be activated by following the steps outlined here

Note The JCU and camera will display on the PC network only when the PC is on the same network as

the camera By default the camera and JCU are configured to obtain an IP automatically (DHCP)

UPnP Overview

UPnP is a set of networking protocols that allows devices on a network to connect automatically without

the need for configuration by a network expert thus simplifying the implementation of networks and the

installation of computer components A UPnP compatible device from any vendor can dynamically join a

network obtain an IP address announce its name convey its capabilities upon request and learn about

the presence and capabilities of other devices

UPnP devices are plug-and-play in that when connected to a network they automatically announce

information about themselves and supported device and services types enabling clients that recognize

those types to immediately begin using the device

M-Series cameras and JCUs are UPnP devices so they broadcast their presence on the network A PC

configured to accept UPnP broadcasts will show all UPnP devices discovered under My Network Places

Enabling the UPnP User Interface

In some cases Windows will discover UPnP devices and provide its own user interface to control them

Windows Vista and Windows 7 automatically detect network devices in the Network page If UPnP

devices are hidden a prompt at the top of the screen will ask if you would like to display hidden devices

With Windows XP you can install the optional user interface (UI) component using the steps below This

UI component displays a balloon tip for newly discovered devices and places an icon for each device in

the My Network Places folder To enable the UPnP UI follow these steps

1 Click Start click Control Panel and then click Add or Remove Programs

2 In the Add or Remove Programs dialog box click AddRemove Windows Components on the left

side

3 In the Windows Components Wizard click Networking Services and then click Details

Troubleshooting

Unable to view video

Check the connections to the camera and make sure it is receiving power If possible confirm there is a

video signal by temporarily plugging the video cable into another video monitor

If the M-Series camera is in Standby mode no video will be displayed Generally the camera will be in

the Park position if it is in Standby mode Confirm the camera goes through the initial pantilt initialization

when the power is turned on Be sure to allow time for the camera and the display to fully boot up and for

the MFD to ldquodiscoverrdquo the camera When the camera is first powered on it will temporarily display the

FLIR splash screen on the video for a few seconds and then the video will stop again until the JCU or

MFD connects to the camera and brings it out of Standby mode

Unable to control camera

Review the Setup steps above to ensure the correct video channel has been selected with the Video

Source button If the pop-up control does not display when the video screen is touched switch to a

different input

On the Furuno display review the FLIR Installation section of the Camera menu as described above

and confirm there is a green check mark to the left of the camera name as shown on the image above

The green check mark indicates the display is able to communicate with the camera

If a red X is displayed it indicates there is a communication problem Check the

wiring and the IP configuration on the camera and the display

Determine the Camera Firmware Version

Use the JCU to access the camerarsquos on-screen menu by pressing the Menu button and select the

AboutHelp menu entry In the AboutHelp display the current version will be on the 4th line above the

MCU version for example ldquov25917 Built 13-Aug-2013rdquo This version refers to the Nexus Server

version For the Firmware Release 258 the correct Nexus Server version is v25917

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

In order to use the Web interface the PC may need to be set up to use Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

which may not be active on your PC UPnP is typically not active on older computers using Windows XP

but can be activated by following the steps outlined here

Note The JCU and camera will display on the PC network only when the PC is on the same network as

the camera By default the camera and JCU are configured to obtain an IP automatically (DHCP)

UPnP Overview

UPnP is a set of networking protocols that allows devices on a network to connect automatically without

the need for configuration by a network expert thus simplifying the implementation of networks and the

installation of computer components A UPnP compatible device from any vendor can dynamically join a

network obtain an IP address announce its name convey its capabilities upon request and learn about

the presence and capabilities of other devices

UPnP devices are plug-and-play in that when connected to a network they automatically announce

information about themselves and supported device and services types enabling clients that recognize

those types to immediately begin using the device

M-Series cameras and JCUs are UPnP devices so they broadcast their presence on the network A PC

configured to accept UPnP broadcasts will show all UPnP devices discovered under My Network Places

Enabling the UPnP User Interface

In some cases Windows will discover UPnP devices and provide its own user interface to control them

Windows Vista and Windows 7 automatically detect network devices in the Network page If UPnP

devices are hidden a prompt at the top of the screen will ask if you would like to display hidden devices

With Windows XP you can install the optional user interface (UI) component using the steps below This

UI component displays a balloon tip for newly discovered devices and places an icon for each device in

the My Network Places folder To enable the UPnP UI follow these steps

1 Click Start click Control Panel and then click Add or Remove Programs

2 In the Add or Remove Programs dialog box click AddRemove Windows Components on the left

side

3 In the Windows Components Wizard click Networking Services and then click Details

4 Select the Universal Plug and Play check box

5 Click OK and then click Next in the Windows Components Wizard You may need to provide

your Windows XP installation CD

It is now possible to see if any UPnP-enabled devices exist on your network by opening My Network

Places If there are UPnP devices on your local network they will appear here with a generic icon based

Changing the IP Address of the JCU

The JCU communicates through the Ethernet IP protocol just like the M-Series camera does By default

each JCU is configured to obtain an IP address automatically Just like the camera it is necessary to

connect to the JCU with a web browser and log into its web configuration interface in order to change the

IP address on the JCU The easiest way to get to the web configuration interface is to automatically

discover the JCU on the network through Windows Network using UPnP Once the JCU icon appears

double click the icon to open up the M-Series JCU Web Interface The JCU control page displays with a

picture of the JCU

If the JCU icon does not appear in Windows Network it is possible to connect directly using the IP

Address On the JCU the IP address can be displayed by pressing the COLOR button and puck at the

same time The IP is displayed for 3 seconds and then the display returns to the camera name Type the

JCU IP address into the address bar of the browser followed by indexhtml and then press enter For

example 169254563indexhtml

Once the M-Series JCU Web Interface is displayed select Static (rather than Dynamic) and enter

192168252201 in the IP field The Mask should fill in automatically (2552552550) Click Save to save

the changes Confirm the JCU is able to connect to the camera and control it
