Fusion IV DVR User Guide

LAN / ISDN / PSTN Connections

LAN Overview

The recorder can be easily connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) and uses Microsoft’s® powerful and secure Windows® Embedded Standard 7 operating system. This allows for easy and well-documented instructions on setting up LAN connections no matter what type of LAN you want to use.

A LAN is a group of computers and other devices dispersed over a relatively limited area and connected by a communications link that allows one device to interact with any other on the network.

There are many reasons why using Microsoft® Embedded 7 is superior to other platforms when running on a LAN. The number one reason is security. Running the recorder on a secure network is important to prevent unwanted users from gaining access to confidential information. Unwanted users can compromise the integrity of the confidential data being stored and viewed, and in extreme circumstances can cause irreparable damage to the network.

Since connecting the recorder to a network can be extremely complex (depending on the network), this Fusion recorder manual will cover only the basics. It is suggested that the recorder administrator consult the Vendor or IT Administrator before attempting to create or connect to a LAN.
