qEthernet Port (100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T) 
(RJ-45)
Connect with a network device such as router or hub
using an Ethernet cable. Depending on the
transmission speed between a device and the
decoder, use the proper cable as suggested below.
When the transmission speed is 1000BASE-T
Enhanced category 5 (STP (Shielded Twisted
Pair)) cable.
When the transmission speed is 100BASE-TX
Category 5 cable.
wReset Terminal (RESET)
Use this terminal to restart the decoder.

Multicast Transmission
The multicast transmission will be suitable for the following systems.
• When the number of cameras is more than the number of monitors in a system, and switching streaming video to be
displayed on the monitors using the decoder
• When monitoring pictures of a camera on two or more monitors
When the number of cameras is more than number of monitors in the system, and when desig-
nating camera channels to be displayed on monitors using a PC
Use the CGI command to switch streaming...

17
When monitoring pictures of a camera with two or more monitors
Use the CGI command to designate pictures of the camera to be displayed on the monitors.
Send the CGI command to each decoder and set the receiving IP address of the camera whose pictures are to be
displayed on the monitors. Refer to the "SWITCHING STREAMING VIDEO" section of "HOW TO USE THE CGI
COMMANDS" on page 90.
Refer to the following pages for further information related to the system above.

Refer to the "SWITCHING STREAMING VIDEO" section of "HOW TO USE THE CGI COMMANDS" on page 90 about
the CGI command to switch streaming video.
Note:All the "DESTINATION PORT No." of each encoder should be the same. The IP addresses to be assigned for
"DESTINATION IP ADDRESS" should be different according to the respective VIDEO IN...
