Windows Dial-Up Networking
Connection (i.e., not via the Internet)
Notice: Due to speed and reliability
considerations, dial-up connections are
generally NOT recommended. Use a faster
connection if you have a choice. Note: Dial-up
networking is a feature of the Microsoft Windows
operating system, NOT the Netvision software. For
more information, refer to your Windows on-line
help, or contact your network administrator.
Modem Installation:
• A modem must be installed and set up under MS
Windows on the Video Server PC and the remote
station(s);
For remote camera viewing and video playback
(Through a dial-up Networking Connection):
• An incoming dial-up networking connection must be
set up at the Video Server to allow remote
connections from specific network users
(this is typically done at the factory);
• An outgoing Dial Up networking connection must be
set up at the remote station for connecting to the
Video Server (details to follow / below).
For Sending Alarm Alerts to a Remote PC
(Through a dial-up Networking Connection):
• An outgoing dial-up networking connection must be
set up at the Video Server for connecting to the
remote station;
• An incoming Dial Up networking connection must be
set up at the remote station to allow connections
initiated from the Video Server.
