USB PC Keyboard, Mouse, and Template for the DVR5100

The DVR5100 provides a control pad on the front panel that allows you to access the unit’s user interface (UI). A USB PC keyboard and mouse,
and a keyboard overlay (template) are now included as an alternate method to accessing the UI. The control pad or the keyboard are used
together to make selections in the UI to set up and operate the unit. The USB mouse provides a convenient method to navigate the setup and
configuration menus.
The DVR5100 provides three USB ports: one USB port on the front panel and two USB ports on the rear panel. Any of the USB ports can be used
to connect a USB PC keyboard and mouse to the DVR5100.
To connect a keyboard and mouse to the DVR5100:
1. Connect the USB mouse to the USB port on the front panel.
2. Connect the USB PC keyboard into one of the USB ports on the rear panel.
