The DVR menus can be accessed locally with a monitor and mouse or a laptop. The
menus can also be accessed remotely over a wireless network.
Local access with On Screen Display (OSD) menus:
Connect to VIDEO OUT on the TL front panel with a portable video monitor and
use a USB mouse to set the configuration settings. The password setting can be
changed in the System Settings Menu.
Local access with vMax Web menus:
Configure the network connection on the computer, then connect the DVR to a
computer using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable. Use vMax Web to configure the DVR
via Internet Explorer (32 bit version only).
To configure the Laptop network settings for vMax Web, see vMax Web Laptop
Configuration, on page 2–13.
Remote access with vMax Web menus:
If you have Seon Smart Reach wireless access, you can also access the DVR
remotely using vMax Web via Internet Explorer (32 bit version only).
Important: The default network settings only allow connecting the DVR to a laptop using an Ethernet
cable.
For remote network access, consult with your IT staff or Seon Design to configure the
DVR to be on the same subnet as the laptop.
