Connecting to the RS232 Port
Figure 2-13 RS232 Connector
An RS232 port is provided to connect an external modem for remote monitoring,
configuration and software upgrades, and to connect a remote control keyboard. Use
a modem cable with a DB-9S (female) connector to connect to the DVR. See Chapter 3,
Configuration for configuring the modem.
Note The DVR is not supplied with a modem cable, and many
modems are not supplied with cables. Make certain you have the
correct cable when purchasing the modem.
Connecting to the Ultra Wide SCSI Port
Figure 2-14 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 5 feet (1.5
meters). You can connect up to 8 UltraWide SCSI devices with SCSI IDs set from 0 to
15 except for 7, which is assigned as the Host ID.
Note The SCSI bus must be terminated, otherwise the DVR will not
operate properly.
