EthernetCable Connector

The DCS-900W features an RJ-45 connector for connections to 10Base-T Ethernet cabling

or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling (which should be Category 5 UTP

cable). The port

supports the NWay protocol, allowing the DCS-900W to automatically detect or negotiate

the transmission speed of the network.

DC Power Connector

The DC power input connector is labeled

DC 5V

with a single jack socket to supply

power to the DCS-900W.

Reset Button

Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed once and Power LED begins to

flash.

Factory Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed continuously for three

seconds or when the Power LED begins to light up. Release the reset button and the

Power LED will begin to flash indicating that the DCS-900W’s settings are reverting

back to the factory settings. The IP address will also return to the default setting of

192.168.0.20.

Security

To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of the DCS-900W, the

Administrator has the exclusive privilege to create all users. The DCS-900W supports

multi-level password protection/access that can be restricted by the Administrator for

defined users who have a

User Name

and

User Password

.

The Administrator can release a public

User Name

and

Password

so that when remote

users access the DCS-900W they will be allowed to view the images transmitted by the

DCS-900W.

Note:

When the DCS-900W is used for the first time, it is highly recommended that the

Administrator set the

Admin ID

and

Admin Password

to constrain user access to the

DCS-900W since the Default settings are Null String (no password). Once the ID and

Password are defined, only the Administrator has access to the management of the

DCS-900W. This procedure should be done as soon as possible since the security

features of the DCS-900W will not be enabled until the

Admin ID

and

Admin Password

is defined.
