What Is Your Network Setup; Simple One To One Connection - EverFocus ERS-4 Instruction Manual

7.2 WHAT IS YOUR NETWORK SETUP?

Everfocus DVR's and IP - products can operate using one of three types of networking connections.
1. Simple One to One Connection: A simple one to one connection is the simplest type of network
connection. It uses a cross-over cable to make a direct connection from one computer to another
(or in this case a computer to a DVR).
2. Direct High Speed Modem Connection: A direct modem connection uses a standard network cable
to connect the modem directly to a computer (or in this case a modem to the DVR). This type of
connection only covers single-port modems. For a combination modem/router, use the setup
described below.
3. Router or LAN Connection – A local area network connection requires either a router or a pre-
existing LAN connection. This is the most common type of connection. A router allows multiple
computers and DVR's to access each other as well as the Internet. It assigns different internal IP
addresses to the computers.
