NETWORK SETUP
The DX8100 Series DVR supports remote viewing and administration in client-server and peer-to-peer configurations. The DX8100 is compatible
with the TCP/IP protocol and Fast Ethernet (1000BaseT) network connection. Consult your network administrator before installing the DX8100 to
avoid possible network conflicts.
For TCP/IP access, connect the DX8100 to a 100 Mbps or 1 Gigabit, switched Ethernet network. Use standard Cat5 or better UTP cable with RJ-45
connectors.
To configure the DX8100 hardware for network access:
1. Connect one end of the UTP cable to the network port on the back panel of the DX8100 as shown in Figure 10.
2. Connect the other end of the UTP cable to an available port on a standard Fast Ethernet switch.

RS-422/RS-485 COMMUNICATION PORT SETUP
The DX8100 Series DVR features four RS-422/ RJ-45 communication ports. All ports are compatible with both RS-422 and RS-485 interface
standards. Each port can communicate with and control a variety of ATM/POS, PTZ, third-party dome devices, and Pelco’s Spectra
™
III dome
enclosures and Esprit
®
positioning systems.
The example configuration illustrated in Figure 11 shows a DX8100 connected directly to up to four PTZ devices and indirectly to up to 16 devices
through Pelco’s CM9760-CDU-T code distribution unit. Figure 12 illustrates the connection of a variety of RS-422/RS-485 compatible devices
including the DX8100. This example highlights the P and D protocol data merging capability of Pelco’s CM9760-DMR data manager.
To operate properly, devices must be compatible with either the RS-422 or RS-485 interface standards and must be able to communicate using
Pelco’s P, D, or Coaxitron
®
protocols, or third-party dome protocols.
1. Using unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, connect up to four RS-422/RS-485 compatible devices to the RJ-45 connector jacks provided on
the rear panel of the unit.
You should use 22 or 24 gauge UTP cable. Category 5 UTP is recommended for cable runs greater than 400 feet.
2. Set the communication parameters for both the DX8100 and the PTZ device. Communication parameters are baud rate, parity (odd or even),
number of parity bits, number of data bits, and number of stop bits.
Refer to RS-422/RS-485 Communication Port Software Configuration for instructions on setting up your DVR’s communication parameters.
Refer to the documentation included with your PTZ device for instructions on configuring its communication settings.
