CONNECTIONS

Refer to Figure 9.

1.Connect the viewstation and the recorder to an Ethernet switch. Use straight, shielded network cables.

NOTE: Use a shielded cable, similar to Belden 1533P, that meets or exceeds the support requirements for ANSI/TIA/EIA 568B.2 Cat 5e.

2.Connect the supplied cables from the 37-pin connectors on the recorder to the 37-pin connectors on the back of the patch panel.

NOTE: You will receive 1-6 cables depending on the recorder model you purchase.
