How do I get my recorder on the network?

Applies to Recorders Updated 1 min read

 

Below are the steps on how to properly connect your recorder to your network.

 

Prerequisites

  • Have your device initialized
  • Have a data cable (RJ-45)
  • Have a network

 

Connecting your device:

  1. Plugin the data cable to the LAN port on the back of the recorder
  2. Plug the other end of the data cable into the network (router, switch)

Setting up your connection to the network:

 

  1.  login into your recorder and go to the main menu
  2.  Locate the "Network Settings" button
  3.  You will be directed to a new page and should be on the "TCP/IP" setting by default (If this is your first time on the network menu you will be already on TCP/IP.)
