3.Rear Port Specification and Connection Examples
First you must use cross over network cable. This is a cable created with crossing pin 1 to 3, 2 to 6 then pin 3 to 1, 6 to 2.
Figure 22 Cross Over Cable
You may now connect directly into PC and DVR unit to communicate directly. Your DVR gateway address and PC’s gateway address must be same address. Then you must assign TCP/IP address that belongs to same subnet address as DVR and PC.
Example IP address for DVR |
|
DVR TCP/IP address: 192.168.0.2 | PC’s TCP/IP address 192.168.0.3 |
DVR’s subnet: 255.255.255.0 | PC’s subnet: 255.255.255.0 |
DVR’s gateway: 192.168.0.1 | PC’s gateway: 192.168.0.1 |
Figure 23. Direct PC Connection
Example 2. Connecting DVR unit to Router
This is most common connection for DVR it is advised that your DVR follow the rules of network policy (Please consult with your network administrator).
In this example we are going to assume that router is giving (leasing) TCP/IP address. When router is giving TCP/IP address to the unit this action is possible via Dynamic Host Control Protocol otherwise known as DHCP.
