Configure RS-232 Settings.

The RS-232 port can be used in two ways: 

• Parameter Control: 

Connect a PC to the DVR using the PC serial port. Device parameters can 

then be set using software such as HyperTerminal. The serial port parameters must be the same 
as the DVR’s when connecting with the PC serial port. 

• Transparent Channel: 

Connect a serial device directly to the DVR. The serial device will be 

controlled remotely by the PC through the network and the protocol of the serial device. 

 

Note:

 

Please note that the remote control features through the RS-232 port are limited. 

Managing User Accounts 

By default, your DVR comes with one user account, the 

Administrator 

account. The 

Administrator 

user name is 

admin 

and the password is 

12345

. The default password for 

Administrator 

should be changed right away for security 

reasons. The 

Administrator 

has the authority to add, delete or configure parameters for many of the system 

functions. 

Adding a New User

 

You may add up to 31 new users to your DVR. To add new users: 
 
Enter the User Settings menu, shown in Figure 4 by clicking Menu > Setting > User.
