Ethernet Interface
15.1 General
You can use the recorder remotely via its Ethernet interface with the TCP-IP protocol.
Connect the recorder to your network with a straight-through cable onto the 10/100 BASE-T (RJ45) connector at the
rear of the device.
You can use the recorder on an Ethernet network 10 Mbit/s or 100Mbit/s.
In case of a network with BNC cable, you must use an external hub to convert the BNC signal into RJ45 signal (use a
straight-through cable).
If your PC has no network, you can also use a crossover cable directly between the PC and the recorder.

Crossover Cable Wiring
The recorder uses the TCP/IP protocol to dialog with the PC. Thus, you can give it an IP address with a subnet mask.
Ask your network administrator an IP address and a corresponding mask, then, when you have set
up the recorder with the
key, turn off and on the device, so that the changes are taken into account.
If you don’t have any network administrator:
Check that the TCP/IP driver is correctly installed on your device.
Case of a PC under Win XP or other:
From Windows Explorer, go to "Work station", "Configuration panel", "network connection", and then go to the properties
of the network card.
Check that the TCP/IP protocol has been installed, then check the IP address and the subnet mask.
You have to take great care and define an IP address and a subnet mask that are compatible with the ones of the remote
computer.
The port that the recorder uses is
Port #23
.
For example, in I mode, you could have:
Device IP
Mask
PC
192 135.20.00 255.255.255.0
Recorder 192.135.20.01 255.255.255.0
Refer to the definition of the classes of IP addresses.
Programmation:
You can create your own software under Visual Basic, Visual C++, etc. by using, for example, the Winsock.dll driver by
Microsoft.
Then, you only have to send the commands as per the following paragraphs to the recorder.
