CONNECTING MOBILE CLIENTS TO A DX8100 SERIES DVR

Using a wired or wireless network connection, the DX8100 Mobile Client application can monitor live video from a number of geographically dispersed DVRs. The following figure illustrates a simplified wireless network connecting a pocket PC-compatible PDA device to a single DX8100 DVR.

Detailed instructions, describing how to configure your particular PDA device for wireless networking, are beyond the scope of this manual. Consult your network administrator and the documentation that came with your device for instructions on connecting your PDA to a network.
