2.7 NETWORK CONNECTION

This section only describes physical connection to an Ethernet network. This step must be completed before the DVR’s can connect to the network. There are two basic types of connection:

2.7.1Direct PC Connection through Crossover Network Cable

The point-to-point connection of DVR and PC requires a crossover (crossed) network cable. This type of connection is ONLY used for direct connection to a single PC. Make sure that the PC is equipped with a 10/100/1000 Mbps compatible network connection.
