Special note of the network cable to connect the CPD503 to your network:
- Should you want to connect the CPD503 to your PC or notebook or network Switch directly (not go through router), you have to use a “crossover” cable.
- You may easily tell whether the cable in use is a correct one by reading the LED on the CPD503. One of the LED should keep blinking which indicates the system is normal while the other one (closer to the back panel) should be lit always, which means the network connection is OK.
