Rack Mount Instructions
The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included with the installation instructions:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should
be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient
temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection and supply
wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this
concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g.
use of power strips)."

3-8-1. Ports
When you connect one or more DVRs to a network through an IP sharing device, each device
must have a unique TCP port number for access to each unit from outside the LAN. Also, the IP
sharing device must be configured for port forwarding so when each port is accessed on the IP
sharing device, it will forward to the appropriate DVR.
Note: This port number is listed next to the Port menu option in the Network Setup screen. If
you plan to access the DVR units only from within the same LAN, the TCP port does not have to
be changed.
Figure 3.8.1. Network setup screen - PORT
Network access beyond a router
In order to access the DVR remotely beyond a router (firewall), the user must open one TCP
port for command level, live channels and storage channels. If this port is not opened
properly, user can not access DVR beyond a router.
If the DVR port number is set to 5445, open the TCP port 5445 on the router.
