Stream Connect for Digital Watchdog’s DW Spectrum VMS is a plugin to the DW Spectrum Video Management System (VMS) in networks where the surveillance cameras are connected to Allied Telesis Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches.
Stream Connect allows you to perform tasks such as rebooting the surveillance cameras and managing port power allocations using the DW Spectrum client without network administrator credentials.
The DW Spectrum VMS, developed by Digital Watchdog, is a system that manages surveillance cameras and recordings. Surveillance cameras are often connected to and powered by PoE switches, such as Allied Telesis PoE switches.
Guidelines for Stream Connect
Here are guidelines for network configurations for StreamConnect:

• StreamConnect supports multi-server configurations as well as single-server configurations.
• StreamConnect supports the Allied Telesis Layer 2 and Layer 3 PoE switches.
• StreamConnect supports the DW cloud environments.
• StreamConnect is not designed to be used with switches configured in the Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCS) mode.

Network Configurations for VMS

This section explains a standard network configuration for VMS and network configurations that Allied Telesis supports for StreamConnect.
Standard Network Configuration for VMS
Figure 1 shows a standard network configuration for a VMS installation. In this configuration, networks for surveillance cameras and client machines are separated. Cameras are physically exposed to potential intruders so that segregating the camera network provides security to the internal management networks. Separating networks also prevents video traffic caused by the cameras from consuming bandwidth on the client network.

VMS Network Configurations with StreamConnect
The four types of network configurations with VMS that Allied Telesis supports for StreamConnect are introduced in this section. These network configurations also provide security to the internal management networks and prevents video traffic from consuming bandwidth on the client network. In addition, the Allied Ware Plus™ PoE switch simplifies cabling and maintenance for the cameras because a PoE switch delivers both data and power to connected devices through the Ethernet cables.
StreamConnect supports the following network configurations:

• “Single-Server VMS Configuration with the Allied Telesis Switch” on this page
• “Multiple-Server VMS Configuration with the Allied Telesis Switch” on page 6
• “VMS Configuration with Allied Telesis Layer 3 Switch” on page 6
• “VMS Configuration in the DW Cloud Environment” on page 7

Single-Server VMS Configuration with the Allied Telesis Switch
A network configuration with a single DW Spectrum VMS server where the surveillance cameras are connected to an Allied Ware Plus™ PoE switch is shown in Figure 2.

In the network configuration in Figure 2, the DW Spectrum client communicates with the AT-IE220-10GHX switch via the DW Spectrum VMS server.
Multiple-Server VMS Configuration with the Allied Telesis Switch
Figure 3 shows a network configuration with multiple DW Spectrum VMS servers where surveillance cameras are connected to an AlliedWare Plus™ PoE switch.

StreamConnect supports networks where multiple DW Spectrum VMS servers are configured as well as a single server configuration.
VMS Configuration with Allied Telesis Layer 3 Switch
StreamConnect supports a VMS network configuration with the Allied Telesis Layer 3 switch. You can simplify a network configuration with a PoE layer 3 switch, such as the AT-IE340-20GP switch. Figure 4 on page 7 shows that the AT-IE340-20GP switch’s routing capability provides security by separating the camera network and client network.

VMS Configuration in the DW Cloud Environment
StreamConnect supports a DW Spectrum VMS system that is accessed using DW Cloud. DW Cloud is a cloud-based service that users can access their DW Spectrum VMS systems remotely.
StreamConnect works with any of the supported VMS configurations that are accessed with DW Cloud. Figure 5 on page 8 illustrates a VMS configuration with Allied Telesis Layer 3 switch using the DW Could service.

Guidelines for Configuring ATI Switch and Cameras
Here are guidelines for configuring StreamConnect:

• When logging into ATI Switch Management in the DW Spectrum VMS server, use the administrative account. Without administrative privilege, you can manage surveillance cameras, but not ATI switches.
• Allied Telesis recommends using Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports on the switch for surveillance cameras and non-PoE ports as uplink ports. If a PoE port is used as a uplink port, the system might mistakenly detect a camera elsewhere in the network as if it is connected to the PoE port.

Accessing Allied Telesis Switch Management in VMS Server
After installing StreamConnect into your DW Spectrum VMS server, start a DW Spectrum VMS client and access the Allied Telesis Switch Management function.
To access ATI Switch Management:

1. Ensure that the cameras and Allied Telesis switches are cabled and powered on.
2. Start the DW Spectrum VMS client and log in.
   The DW Spectrum user interface (UI) appears as shown in Figure 8 on page 13.
3. Click the server that the DW Spectrum VMS is running.
   The DW Spectrum VMS UI starts. See Figure 9 as an exampលេThe UI lists the DW Spectrum servers in your network on the left navigation pane.
4. On the left navigation pane, double-click ATI Switch Management.
   ចំណាំ
   If more than one DW Spectrum server are listed, select ATI Switch Management for the server that controls the surveillance cameras that you want to manage with StreamConnect.
   If you have accessed ATI Switch Management once before, you are not required to log in and the ATI Switch Management window in Figure 11 on page 15 appears. Go to Step 6.
   When you access the ATI Switch Management for the first time or you were logged out, the following window appears. See Figure 10.The window can be resized by dragging an edge or expanded by using the arrows icon in the upper right corner.
5. Log in with your username and password for the DW Spectrum VMS server.
   ចំណាំ
   Log in using an administration account for the DW Spectrum VMS server to manage the Allied Telesis switch. If you log in with an account that does not include administrative privilege, you can only manage surveillance cameras.
   Adding a New Allied Telesis Switch
   To add an Allied Telesis switch to the DW Spectrum VMS and configure the switch:
6. Click Select Switch > Add New. See Figure 12.The New Switch Entry window appears.

    You can enlarge the window size to display port information as well as switch information.
12. To assign the cameras on the DW Spectrum VMS to the ports of the Allied Telesis switch:
    To assign cameras automatically: click Auto-Assign Cameras. Auto-Assign Camera should detect the cameras that are up and running and associate them to the ports of the Allied Telesis switch. If cameras are not automatically assigned, you can assign them manually.
    To assign a camera manually:
    a. click None in the Camera column and the row of the port that you want to assign the camera to.
    b. Select the name of the camera.
    If the camera is detected on the selected switch port, the camera name is shown in the drop-down list. See Figure 18 on page 19.c. Select Other if no camera name is shown in the drop-down list. See Figure 19.The cameras that have been detected are listed in the drop-down list. See Figure 20 on page 20.d. Select the name of the camera that you want to assign to the switch port.
