2.7 NETWORK CONNECTION

This section only describes physical connection to an Ethernet network. This step must be completed
before the DVR can connect to the network. For details on setting up the DVR for network connection, see
Chapter 5.10.4 Network Setup: LAN.
There are two basic types of connection:

2.7.1 Direct PC Connection through Crossover Network Cable

The point-to-point connection of DVR and PC requires a crossover (crossed) network cable. This type of
cable is ONLY used for direct connection to a single PC. Make sure that the PC is equipped with a
10/100/1000 Mbps compatible network connection.

2.7.2 Network Connection through Patch Cable

The connection to an existing network requires a normal patch cable (straight-through). The illustration
shows the connection to a network switch, router, or modem.
