Replacing an encoder/decoder of the same type
Prerequisite is a factory default device (IP Address = 192.168.0.1). 1. Disconnect the old device from the network.
2. Do not delete the device from the Device Tree in the Bosch VMS Configuration Client! When deleting the device from VRM, recording is lost.
3. Connect the new device of the same type to the network.
Caution!
The next steps require the above mentioned default IP address. With DHCP assigned IP addresses you cannot perform the initial device scan.
4. Configuration Client: On the Hardware menu, click Initial Device Scan.... The Initial Device Scan dialog box is displayed.
5. Click a cell to change the desired address. For changing multiple devices, select the desired rows. You can select multiple devices by pressing the CTRL- or the SHIFT-key. Then right-click the selected rows and click Set IP Addresses... or click Set Subnet
Mask... to change the corresponding values.
You must enter the correct subnet mask and IP address.
Subnet mask and IP Address must be identical to the replaced device. 6. Click OK.
7. After a few seconds you can access the device setting in the Device Tree.
8. Change all required device settings that are not controlled by Bosch VMS (refer to information below).
9. Save and activate.
Notes:
– The initial device scan only finds devices with default IP addresses (192.168.0.1) or duplicate IP addresses.
– Do not use the VRM or NVR scan to scan defaulted devices since you will not be able to change the IP address afterwards.
Replacing an encoder with DHCP assigned IP address:
Prerequisite is a factory default encoder (DHCP assigned IP).
1. Connect the encoder to the Ethernet port of your computer directly.
2. Write down the network adapter configuration for TCP/IPv4 to restore it later.
3. On the network adapter of your computer, configure the following fixed IP address and subnet mask for your network adapter:
192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0
4. Start Internet Explorer.
5. In the Address bar, type in 192.168.0.1. The Web page of the device is displayed. 6. Click Settings, then click Network.
7. On the Network page, in the DHCP list, select Off.
8. In the IP address field, in the Subnet mask field and in the Gateway address field, type in the required values valid for your network.
9. Click Set and Reboot.
10. Restore the network adapter configuration.
Replacing an encoder/decoder of another device type
– Disconnect the old device from the network.
– Do not delete the device from the Device Tree in the Bosch VMS Configuration Client! When deleting the device from an NVR, recording is lost.
– Connect the new device of the new type to the network.

After an upgrade of the device, you can update its device capabilities. A message text informs you whether the retrieved device capabilities match the device capabilities stored in
Bosch VMS.
To update:
1. Click .
A message box is displayed with the following text:
If you apply the device capabilities, the recording settings and the event settings for this device may change. Check these settings for this device.
2. Click OK.
The device capabilities are updated.
Replacing a VSG camera
When you replace a VSG camera, ensure that the replaced camera has the same type, the same IP address and the same ONVIV profile as the old camera.
Additionally you must perform the following settings on a new AXIS camera via the Web interface of the VSG camera before replacing the old AXIS camera:
– Set a password for user root – Configure time synchronization – Disable link-local address – Create an ONVIF user
– Disable replay attack protection
Settings controlled by Bosch VMS
Encoders and decoders configured in a Bosch VMS system are controlled by the Bosch VMS Server and thus cannot be shared with other applications.
You can use the Bosch VMS Device Monitor to check which device show a mismatching configuration deviating from the Bosch VMS configuration.
Bosch VMS Configuration Client offers configuration pages for all BVIP devices. The scale of settings depends on the particular BVIP model (e. g. VIPX 1600 XFM4). Bosch VMS keeps control of all BVIP settings required for a seamless integration into a Bosch VMS system.
Settings controlled by Bosch VMS: – Camera name
– Time server settings
– Recording Management (profiles, retention times, schedules) – Definitions of quality settings
– Passwords
Stored in the Bosch VMS configuration but not changed on the devices:
– IP address (you can change IP addresses with Bosch VMS IP Device Configuration) – Relay / input names (difference between names in the device and names configured in
Bosch VMS is displayed)
System events for mismatching device configuration
– SystemInfo events are generated, once the configuration of a device has been fixed during a periodic check.
– SystemWarning events are generated, once a mismatching configuration has been detected on a device for the first time. Subsequent checks do not raise this event until the configuration has been corrected by an activation or a periodic fix.
– SytemError events are generated, once an error regarding configuration has been detected during activation or periodic checks. Subsequent checks do not raise this event until the configuration has been corrected by an activation or a periodic fix.
