Definition of the RS-485:
Orange: D-
Blue: D+
2. LAN port: To connect to PC or Hub.
The LAN socket is an RJ-45 connector for connections to 10Base-T Ethernet or
100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling. This Ethernet port built NWay protocol can detect or
negotiate the transmission speed of the network automatically. Please use Category 5
“straight through” cable to connect the MJPEG IR IP Camera to a 100Mbps Fast
Ethernet network switch or hub.

Install the MJPEG IR IP Camera with an ADSL Router
If the MJPEG IR IP Camera was installed on the LAN with an ADSL router, then the
MJPEG IR IP Camera can get a dynamic IP address from the DHCP server. However, if
the MJPEG IR IP Camera wants to be access from the WAN, its IP address needs to be
setup as fixed IP, also the Virtual Server function of ADSL router needs to be setup as
follows:
1. Setup the MJPEG IR IP Camera as Fixed IP, such as 192.168.0.49.
2. Enter the administrator page of ADSL router. (Use BIG-01/4C as an example).
3. Enter the Virtual Server Page.
a. Setup the mapping of HTTP Port (80) to 192.168.0.49.
b. Restart the ADSL router.
Then the MJPEG IR IP Camera can be access from WAN by the ADSL WAN IP Address.
