Check the Ethernet cable connection to ensure that the RV2 is connected to a
network or PC using the Network Ethernet port located on the back panel of the
RV2. If the Ethernet cable is connected to the Video Ethernet port, network traffic
will cause the Network status LED to light up. See “Setting-Up Your Hardware” on
page 8-5, for connection diagrams.
If you are attempting to access the RV2 through a network, ensure that the server
supports DHCP. If not, the RV2 will default to its static IP address (10.1.0.42). If
you encounter this issue, see “Direct Connection to a PC” on page 8-7, for
information on how to access the RV2 using a direct connection to a PC.

When connected to an active network, TDT’s OpenEx software sends information to
the RV2 via a broadcast UDP packet allowing it to properly name the video files
stored on the RV2. If the RV2 is powered on before connecting the necessary
network cables it may default to the basic naming format. Power off the RV2,
connect all the necessary cables then power the RV.
