3. The RS-232 port can be used in two ways:

• Parameter Control: Connect a PC to the HRG DVR using the PC serial port. You can

then set device parameters using software such as HyperTerminal. The serial port parameters must be the same as the DVR's when connecting with the PC serial port.

• Transparent Channel: Connect a serial device directly to the HRG DVR. The serial

device will be controlled remotely by the PC through the network and the protocol of the serial device.

Managing User Accounts

By default your Performance Series DVR is configured with the user name of admin and password 12345. The Administrator has the authority to add, delete, or configure the user parameters.
