9.6 Network Cable Connections

If you are connecting the Alien to a modem/router, network hub or switch then

you must use a patch or LAN cable. If you are connecting direct between the DVR

and a PC then you must use a crossover cable. The patch cable connections are the

same at both ends but a crossover cable is wired so that there are no Ethernet

connections.
