Ethernet Port
The cable connection configuration depends on your
network configuration:
• For a DSR that connects directly to a Hub, use a
Straight Through connection.
• For a DSR that connects directly to a PC, use a
Cross Over connection.
Consult with your MIS personnel for the specific type
of configuration. See section 5.5 Advanced Menu →
Communications for information about configuring
the ethernet settings in the menu system.

Accessories Port. Wire all accessories to the Accessories PCB.
Do not attempt to wire accessories directly to the DB-9 connector.
If the Accessories PCB is lost or missing, contact GE Interlogix Customer
Service for a replacement (Part Number 0900-0127a). As a substitute,
purchase a female DB-9 connector and make all connections as shown in

This feature is for future development, and has not yet been implemented.
VEXT Pulse Out
The Video External Pulse connection (VEXT) simplifies
multiplexer operation by automatically synchronizing the
Multiplexer and the DSR.
The DSR sends a VEXT pulse to the Multiplexer indicating that it
is ready to record the next image. The Multiplexer responds by
sending the next image to the Video Input on the DSR.
The VEXT connection is especially beneficial for units
configured with dual record speeds (Normal and Alarm).

that has been abused, damaged, or modified.
For all warranty repairs, GE Interlogix will cover all costs, including parts, labor, and shipping. Repaired
equipment will be returned via the same method of shipment in which it was received. If a customer
requests a faster return shipment, the difference will be charged.
For all non-warranty repairs, the customer will be billed for parts, labor, and shipping. Labor will be
billed in half-hour increments.
Note: Customers requesting an estimate prior to repair will be notified by phone. If they cannot be reached, they will be notified by
fax. If we are unable to reach the contact person for repair authorization after one phone attempt and two fax attempts, the
equipment will be returned without being repaired. We will hold equipment no longer than two weeks.
Advance Replacement Policy
When an advance replacement is required, we will send the customer replacement equipment from our
stock and receive the returned product in exchange. The received equipment will be evaluated and the
repair department will determine whether it is a warranty replacement. If it is non-warranty, see our repair
policy above for details. The following guidelines will be used for all advance replacements:
• Fewer than 45 days from purchase, GE Interlogix will replace the product with new equipment.
• From 45 days to 1 year from purchase, GE Interlogix will replace the product with refurbished
equipment.
• From 1 year to 3 years from purchase, the product must be sent in for repair. Advance
replacements will be sent for a fee of $100.
If you have questions about this policy, please contact the GE Interlogix RMA Department at
800-469-1676.
