Instructions for the Network Administrator
The PelcoNet NET350 transmission system allows live video transmission to be viewed over TCP/IP-based networks. This section is intended to
help the network administrator know what is involved with installing this product and how it will affect the network. The person installing the
product will need the following information about the network to make the network function properly.
