LAN Overview
The recorder can be easily connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) and uses
Microsoft’s
®
powerful and secure Windows
®
Embedded Standard 7 operating system.
This allows for easy and well-documented instructions on setting up LAN connections
no matter what type of LAN you want to use.
A LAN is a group of computers and other devices dispersed over a relatively limited
area and connected by a communications link that allows one device to interact with
any other on the network.
There are many reasons why using Microsoft® Embedded 7 is superior to other
platforms when running on a LAN. The number one reason is security. Running the
recorder on a secure network is important to prevent unwanted users from gaining
access to confidential information. Unwanted users can compromise the integrity of the
confidential data being stored and viewed, and in extreme circumstances can cause
irreparable damage to the network.
Since connecting the recorder to a network can be extremely complex (depending on
the network), this Fusion recorder manual will cover only the basics. It is suggested that
the recorder administrator consult the Vendor or IT Administrator before attempting to
create or connect to a LAN.
