DS2

Connecting Dial-up Devices

The DVR supports PPP (Point to Point Protocol) connections via the RS-232 serial port (Serial 1).

This port allows an external modem to be connected to the unit providing a path for outgoing PPP

connections.

Remote dial-up

TIP: To make a dial-up connection in Windows®, Click on Start -> Help, and type in ‘Dial Up’ in

the search window. A description of making a dial-up connection to another PC should be

displayed.

Once the remote computer has been congured to dial-up to the unit, enter the PPP_Link2 IP

address that was allocated to the port on the unit to make a remote dial up connection.

NOTE:

The IP address used to dial in to the unit is the IP address used for PPP_Link2.The PPP

IP address used in System Options->Network Settings->PPP Selection is the base PPP IP

Address. The dial in address is one greater than this. Ie if the PPP IP address is dened as

“10.0.0.1”, the PPP IP address required to connect to the unit is “10.0.0.2”.

The unit will request a username and password, as dened in the ‘proles’ conguration le. The

default settings are ‘username’ and ‘password’.

NOTE:

The Username and Password should be changed to maintain security. This is done by

editing the ‘proles’ conguration le on the unit. For full details on how to do this, see the

Networking Guide, which can be downlaoded from the unit’s web pages (See Operator

Reference section)

Dial out

To make an outgoing PPP connection (to send an email), ensure the unit has been congured to

send an email under specic conditions, that the correct telephone number has been entered in

the proles le, and that this prole has been congured in the email settings. Email settings are

congured using the embedded web pages and the process is explained in the Networking guide..
