1 Packing List After unpacking, check for any signs of damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately. Also check whether all items are present:

ADPRO® FastTrace™ 2 server unit

Power cord

CD with client software and manuals

Quick Setup Guide

19" mounting brackets, black

Set of resistors (if fitted with Main or Extension input/output card)

Set of 4 rubber feet to use the FastTrace 2 as a desktop unit.

The products are provided with a plug according to the National Heavy Current Regulations of the country of shipment. Installation shall be done according to National Regulations.

2 Power Requirements The ADPRO FastTrace 2 is designed for 100–240 VAC 50–60 Hz operation. It shall not share electrical outlets or circuits with devices that may cause significant electrical interference, such as air conditioners or photocopiers.

Some installations may have particularly bad mains power disturbances, such as large voltage spikes, surges, and power sags which may cause system failure. In this case, power line filters/conditioners and/or uninterruptible power supplies shall be fitted between the ADPRO FastTrace 2 and the mains.

3 Safety Instructions The plug is the disconnect device for the FastTrace 2 server. The outlet socket must be installed near the server and must be easily accessible.

4 Technical Documents Please download the FastTrace 2 Hardware Installation Manual and XOa Client Software User Manual from our website www.xtralissecurity.com. You can also download technical data sheets on specific devices that connect to the FastTrace 2.

5 Installing the XOa Client Software on Your Computer

5.1 XOa Client – Minimum System Requirements

5.1.1 Hardware

Core 2 Duo, 1.6 GHz

2 GB RAM

Graphics card that is compatible with DirectX 7

Xtralis recommended to use a graphics card that allows YUV surfaces and hardware stretching. If not, the XOa client software will force the graphics card to GDI mode, which will increase CPU load.

http://www.xtralissecurity.com/


21778_06 7

It is recommended to install the latest drivers of your graphics card. For NVIDIA cards, check http://www.nvidia.com. For ATI/AMD cards, check http://ati.amd.com

If necessary, you can always force the client into GDI mode (not recommended, because of CPU load). Add the line ‘gdi=1’ in the [General] section of the hydra.ini file. The default location for this file is C:\Users\username\Appdata\Roaming\AdproXOa\ (where username is the name of the Windows user that is currently logged on).

Caution!

These minimum system requirements enable you to configure the server from the client software. However, if you want to use HD cameras in optimal quality, these minimum requirements will prove insufficient. Please take into account that double resolution, on average, results in 4 times more performance. Xtralis advises to test the settings to make sure that your PC can handle your configuration.

5.1.2 Software

Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1

Internet Explorer 8 or higher

DirectX 7 drivers.

5.2 Preparing Your PC for Installation

5.2.1 Internet Explorer Settings

Note

The preferred browser for installing the XOa client software is Internet Explorer. If you cannot use Internet Explorer, try any other internet browser. In this case, you must install the MeadCo Neptune plugin. You can download the plugin from www.meadco.com/Neptune/Download.

When installing the XOa client software on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 operating system, you need to add the server’s IP address to your Trusted sites in Internet Explorer. Proceed as follows:

1. In Internet Explorer, choose Tools > Internet options.

2. Click the Security tab.

3. In the Select a zone… box, click Trusted sites, and click Sites.

4. In the Add this website… box, type http:// followed by the server’s IP address. For example: http://10.0.0.10

5. Click Add, and then click Close.

6. Click OK to close the Internet Options window.

If installation is still not possible, you may try clearing the Protected Mode check box in the Security tab.

Caution!

Check with the IT department if you are allowed to switch off protected mode, because this may cause IT issues.
