Hardware Connections

1. On the rear of the unit, connect the Power (1) and Monitor (2) cables to
the ports as shown. Connect the USB keyboard and mouse to 2
available USB ports (3).
2. Connect the Horizon server to the network:
- If your cameras are installed on a segregated (dedicated) network,
then connect the network cable to the "VIDEO" NIC (4).
Note: You may still use the "CORPORATE" NIC (5) to connect the Horizon server
to the corporate network, to allow remote viewing for clients whose
computers are connected to the corporate network.
- If your cameras are installed on the existing corporate network,
connect the network cable to the "CORPORATE" NIC (5).
