Connecting the Video Recorder to the Touch Screen
Every Video Recorder shipped includes a red Ethernet crossover cable
that will connect the Video Recorder to the screen. The screen and the
data logging device communicate either through the crossover cable
OR using an existing network.
If you are connecting the video recorder to your network, you will need
a straight-through Ethernet cable (the cable provided is a crossover
cable for direct connections to a PC) to be connected from the data
logging device to an Ethernet hub and the Touch Screen to an Ethernet
hub. The cable is plugged into the data logger Ethernet plug and then
other end should be plugged into a network hub. The IP address of the data logging
device will be provided with shipment.
If you are not putting the data logger on the network, you should use the red Ethernet
crossover cable that has been provided with the device. Ethernet crossover cables are most often
used when connecting two Ethernet computers without a hub. An Ethernet crossover cable has its send
and receive wires crossed. When using a hub or switch, this is automatically done for you.
With a crossover cable, you are forming a network between the computer that you are directly plugged
into and the touch screen. See the below section

diagram for a connection on a network, or

for a wiring diagram for a
direct connection using the crossover cable.
