This section provides a guide on how to connect the NVS to your PC/laptop for initial setup.

Please follow the instructions in the order they appear, without skipping steps. Do not supply power to the

Network Video Server, until instructed.

In order to access the Network Video Server’s firmware you will need to connect the Video Server directly

to a PC or laptop computer via the supplied crossover cable.

① Before you begin, you must determine the current network/INTERNET (TCP/IP) settings on the

PC or laptop you plan to setup the Network Video Server. Please ensure that the computer you

wish to use to setup the video server is on your current network and has Internet access. Jot

down your entries below for quick reference.

PC’s IP address and subnet mask

③ After you have made the changes to your IP address and subnet mask, you may then attach the

Network Video Server to your PC via the supplied crossover cable. Plug in either end of the

crossover cable into the PC’s network card and the other end into your Network Video Server.

④ After connecting the PC and Network Video Server (NVS) using the crossover cable, power on the

NVS by plugging in the power supply shipped with the NVS.
