NETWORK CONNECTION

To connect the computer to one or more DVRs, you must use a dedicated local area net­work (LAN). A dedicated LAN consists of the computer and DVRs only.

The following setup procedure is for Windows 98. Details may vary slightly for Windows
2000 or Windows Me.

NOTE:

IP addresses and
subnet masks must be set
correctly. Do not make or
alter these settings if you do
not have sufficient expertise
on networks. The IP addres­ses 192.168.1.xxx (1-254)
fall within the range of
private IP addresses
prescribed for RFC1918.
Please use this range if it
does not potentially cause
any problems to do so.

1. Go to Start\Settings\Control Panel\Network. Highlight TCP/IP in the Configuration
page, and then click the Properties button.

subnet mask. Click OK to complete the settings and exit the menu.

3. Restart your computer.

5. Connect the DVR(s) to the network through a switching hub. If only one DVR is being
connected to the PC, a crossed cable can be used and the switching hub can be elimi­nated. Use Category 5 LAN cables compatible with 10BaseT/100BaseTX.

6. Go to the Start menu and open the MS-DOS prompt. Enter PING and the IP address.
Press the Enter (or Return) key. The transmit and receive indicators on the DVR will
