1. Necessary Items

The following items are required in order to connect DS-600 to a network.

Ethernet HUB
Use to connect DS-600 and other network devices such as a PC.
When there are available LAN ports on the network in which DS-600 is to be installed, you do not have to purchase a new Ethernet Hub or broadband router as DS-600 can be connected to the available LAN port.
Network Cable
Use to connect DS-600 and network devices such as an Ethernet Hub, broadband router and PC.
USB Cable
Use to connect DS-600 and USB devices.
A USB Cable is not required if the device is the one that connects itself directly to a USB port (e.g. USB memory) or there is a bundled USB cable.

  • In a 100BASE-TX environment, please use Ethernet Hub and network cable that support 100BASE-TX network  (category 5 or above).
  • In a 1000BASE-T environment, please use Ethernet Hub and network cable that support 1000BASE-T network (category 5e or above).


2. Power on

  • Please be sure to read the operation manual of your USB device before you connect it to DS-600. The connecting method and position may vary depending on the USB device to be connected.
  • If an overcurrent is detected on a USB port, power supply to the USB port is automatically cut off via an overcurrent protection feature.
    If you are using USB devices that run on USB Bus power, it is recommended to avoid using two or more devices at once, so that the total power used does not exceed the maximum power capability of DS-600.
  • Please use the AC adaptor bundled with DS-600. Other AC adaptors may cause unexpected damages.
  • If DS-600 has been used in another network, reset it to the factory default settings before you start the configuration. ( Please refer to Reset to Factory Default for details. )
