User’s Manual
The DVR can be networked using the telephone line connector. Connect a cable with an RJ-11
jack to the DVR connector. The DVR can be networked with a computer for remote
monitoring, searching, configuration and software upgrades. See
Chapter 3 — Configuration
for configuring the modem connections.
Connecting to the USB Port
Figure 15 — USB connector.
A USB port is provided to connect external hard disk drives for clip copying video. Position the
external hard disk drive close enough to the DVR so that you can make the cable connections,
usually less than 6 feet. Use the USB cable provided with the hard disk drive to connect it to the
DVR.
Connecting to the Ultra Wide SCSI Port
Figure 16 — SCSI connector.
A SCSI port is provided to connect external storage devices for recording or archiving video.
Connect the external SCSI hard disk drive (RAID) cable to the high-density 68-pin female
UltraWide SCSI port. The length of SCSI cable should not exceed 1.5 meters. You can connect
up to four UltraWide SCSI devices with SCSI IDs set to 0, 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
NOTE: The SCSI bus must be terminated properly, otherwise the DVR will not operate
properly.
CAUTION: Do NOT connect the SCSI device while the SCSI DVR power is on.
SCSI devices cannot be connected to the DVR while it is operating.
CAUTION: If the SCSI device is shut down while the device is operating, the
DVR system may not work normally.
