Instructions for the Network Administrator
The PelcoNet NET300 transmission system allows live video transmission to be viewed over TCP/IP-based networks. This section is intended to
help the network administrator know what is involved with installing this product and how it will affect the network. The person installing the
product will need the following information about the network to make the network function properly.
THE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER
• A valid static IP address* for each PelcoNet NET300 transmission system unit
• Subnet mask*
• Default gateway (if applicable)
• E-mail server’s IP address (if applicable)
• Dedicated maximum allowable amount of bandwidth for live video**
* = Required for the PelcoNet NET300 transmission system to function properly
** = The PelcoNet NET300 transmission system requires a continuous amount of bandwidth to display true live video. Pelco recommends
using switching hubs with the product so the amount of bandwidth available to each unit is constant and reliable.
