Remote desktop connection
Certain configuration functions must be performed on the PENTA DVR itself.
The most effective means of accomplishing this is through remote desktop
connection.
To establish a remote desktop connection:
1. Connect an Ethernet crossover cable between your laptop Ethernet port and
the DVR front Ethernet port. (A regular patch cable does not work.)
2. On the laptop, click Start > Settings > Network Connections.
3.
Set the laptop’s IP address and subnet as follows:
• IP address: 192.168.0.99
• Subnet: 255.255.255.0
4. Open a remote desktop connection by clicking Start > Programs >
Accessories > Communications > Remote desktop connection.
Alternatively, you can also click Start > Run and type
mstsc.exe
in the run
box.
5.
Enter the DVR’s IP address (the default is 192.168.0.100) into the Remote
Desktop Connection window (Figure 36 on page 45) and click Connect.
6. Enter the DVR credential information.
