Safety Requirements
The following safety instructions apply to TelVue’s server products.
1. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or included in this manual.
Opening or removing covers and/or components may expose you to dangerous high voltage points or
other risks. Qualified personnel should perform all servicing.
2. The maximum ambient temperature for the server is 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Care should be given to
allow sufficient air circulation or space between units when the server is installed in a closed or multi-
unit rack assembly.
3. Installation of the server in a rack without sufficient airflow can be unsafe.
4. If the server is installed in a rack, the rack should safely support the combined weight of all equipment
it supports.
5. The server’s internal AC power supply input is intended for use with the three-wire grounding type
plug (a plug that has a grounding pin). This is a safety feature. Do not defeat the purpose of
grounding type plugs by modifying the plug or using an adapter.
6. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate the product where persons can walk on
or come in contact with the power cord.
7. Determine that the cumulative power requirements of the server plus other equipment in the rack do
not overload the supply circuits and/or wiring.
8. If using a power strip or similar supply, make sure the power requirement of the chassis, plus the
cumulative power draw of any other equipment in the rack, do not overload the supply circuit.
9. There is danger of explosion if the motherboard battery is incorrectly replaced. A lithium battery on
the server motherboard provides backup power for its internal clock. The battery has an estimated
life expectancy of ten years.
Network and Security
The HyperCaster is a networked digital-video appliance with Ethernet connections and a number of
integrated IP-based services. Prior to powering on your server please read the Getting Started
document that contains information such as power requirements and instructions on how to set your
IP address.

Core Networking Requirements
• IP Address – A static or Dynamic (DHCP) IP will work, but a Static IP is highly recommended.
• Subnet Mask
• Gateway Address – The IP address of your router.
• DNS Address – At least one Domain Name Server (DNS) address.
• NTP Address – Public or private Network Time Protocol (NTP) server address.
Optional Networking Configurations
• Port Forwarding
If your HyperCaster will only be available on your Local-Area Network (LAN), then no ports need to be
opened on your hardware firewall (router). If your HyperCaster will be accessible from outside your
firewall, then certain ports will need to opened on your router. Exactly how to do that is different for
every router and is beyond the scope of this document, but looking up “Port Forwarding” online, for
your router brand and model, will help.
