LAN / ISDN / PSTN CONNECTIONS 
9.1 LAN OVERVIEW 
  The DVR unit can easily be connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) and uses 
Microsoft’s® powerful and secure Windows® XP Operating System. This allows for 
easy and well-documented instructions on setting up LAN connections no matter what 
type of LAN you want to use. 
  A LAN is a group of computers and other devices dispersed over a relatively limited 
area and connected by a communications link that allows one device to interact with 
any other on the network. Local Area Network is also called LAN.  
  Examples of LAN connections include Ethernet, Token Ring, cable modems, DSL, 
FDDI, IP over ATM, IrDA (Infrared), wireless, and ATM-emulated LANs. Emulated 
LANs are based on virtual adapter drivers such as the LAN Emulation Protocol. 
  There are a vast amount of reasons why using Microsoft® Windows® XP is far 
superior to other platforms when running on a LAN. The number one reason is 
security. Running the DVR on a secure network is important to prevent unwanted users 
from gaining access to confidential information. Unwanted users can compromise the 
integrity of the confidential data being stored and viewed, and in extreme 
circumstances can cause irreparable damage to the network. 
  Since connecting the DVR unit to a network can be extremely complex (depending on 
the network), this Fusion DVR manual will cover only the basics. It is suggested that 
you consult your Vendor or IT Administrator before attempting to create or connect to a 
LAN. 
 
9.2  CONNECTING TO A LAN USING TCP/IP 
  The networking options of the DVR unit can create and edit all Network settings 
available on Windows XP Embedded. The DVR unit comes equipped with a 10/100 
Network Interface Card (NIC). This card uses a standard RJ-45 connector. 
  The DVR unit comes preconfigured with an IP Address of [172.25.2.1] and a subnet 
mask of [255.255.0.0]. These IP settings will work for many users. If these IP settings 
are sufficient then re-configuring TCP/IP will not be necessary.

9.2.1  CONFIGURING TCP/IP SETTINGS 
  1.  Exit and restart in Windows mode. 
  2.  Right-click on the My Network Places icon located on the desktop and select 
Properties. The Network and Dial-Up Connections window opens. 
 3. Right-click Local Area Connections and select Properties. 
The Local Area Connection Properties window opens. 
    
 4. Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) by clicking on it once. Once it is highlighted, 
select the Properties button. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window 
opens. 
 5. Select Use the Following IP Address option. Enter the IP Address and Subnet 
mask appropriate for your network. It is recommended to contact your Network 
Administrator for appropriate IP settings. 
Example: Common IP addresses are 10.0.0.25 
    Common Subnet masks are 255.255.255.0 
NOTE: In order to connect to the DVR unit through a remote LAN connection, a static 
IP address must be assigned. If the network assigns the IP address 
automatically (DHCP), contact the Network Administrator for help assigning a 
static IP address. 
  6.  If the network requires specifying your DNS information, enter it now by selecting 
the appropriate DNS options. 
  7.  When finished configuring the TCP/IP settings close the Internet Protocol 
(TCP/IP) Properties window by clicking the OK button.1 
 8. Close the Local Area Connection Properties window by clicking the OK button. 
  9.  It may be required to restart Windows for the changes to take effect. 
Restart windows by selecting START on the desktop and selecting Restart. 
  
9.2.2  CONNECTING THE DVR TO A LAN 
  Using a standard RJ-45 cable, plug one end into a Hub (or Network Jack ultimately 
connected to a hub) and the other end into the DVR unit.

computer and simply loads an image in question

PROPRIETARY VIEWER 
11.1  PROPRIETARY VIEWER OVERVIEW 
  The Proprietary Viewer plays back the exported video in its proprietary format.  
Video saved in this format is extremely difficult to tamper with and therefore is the ideal 
solution when law enforcement and legal departments are involved.  
This video cannot be read by any other viewer. 
  The Proprietary Viewer is essentially the Search portion of the DVR software.  
For detailed explanation of these functions, refer to Section 6.
