3) LEDs of Ethernet port
Yellow LED: This LED indicates the status of data transmission.
After power is supplied, it is on for the first 4-5 seconds and then it
goes off. And it blinks continuously when a user access DXVS1UE and DX-VS1UE transmits data.
Green LED: This LED indicates the status of networking. After
power is supplied, it is on for the first 1-2 seconds, and then it
blinks once at every one second as long as the network is connected.
Diagnostic information on failure using LED
Problem on Network
• Green LED blinks once every 4 seconds.
Check that ethernet cable is connected properly and network has no problem.
Problem on Hardware
• Neither Yellow LED nor Green LED light up at all.
Since DX-VS1UE is in unstable operation, restart DX-VS1 by supplying power again.
If DX-VS1UE would not restore regardless of restarting, stop using and contact with store.
4) Description of DIP Switches
This is used to designate video signal termination. If you want to monitor real time image through a
CCTV monitor as well as DX-VS1UE, connect a digital recorder to ‘Video Input’ connector and a
CCTV monitor to ‘Video Output’ connector. In this case, the terminal of video signal needs setting
properly.
If you connect a digital recorder to ‘Video Input’ and monitor real time
video only through a PC, place the left-hand side DIP switch at upper position ‘ON’ (the side of ‘75ohm’).

* Terminology *
IP Address
IP address is an identification code for computers and devices on a TCP/IP network.
Networks using TCP/IP protocol routes based on the IP address of the destination. IP
addresses can be assigned at random as long as each one is unique on closed network.
However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses to avoid duplicates. IP address can be acquired from a network administrator
or an Internet service provider.
ENGLISH
MAC Address (Media Access Control Address)
MAC address is a hardware identification code that uniquely identifies each node of a net-
work. The MAC layer directly interfaces with the network media. Consequently, each type of
network media requires a unique MAC layer. The MAC address of DX-VS1UE is composed
of 12-digit numbers. A unique MAC address can be found on the label at the bottom of each
DX-VS1UE.
Crossover Cable
The crossover cable (red) provided with the DX-VS1UE is used to connect DX-VS1UE with a
PC. A HUB is not necessary for connecting DX-VS1UE to a PC if a crossover cable is used.
Straight Cable
The straight cable (white) is used if a HUB is used as an intermediary between DX-VS1UE
and PC.
