To access your DVR (Motorola DCH 3416) using a 1394a Firewire connection on your PC, you would typically need a Firewire port on your PC and the necessary software to communicate with the DVR. Here's a general outline of the steps to access your DVR via Firewire: 1. Firewire Connection: - Ensure that your PC has a 1394a Firewire port. - Connect the Firewire cable to the Firewire port on your PC and the Firewire port on the DVR. 2. Software Requirement: - You might need specific software to interact with the DVR over Firewire. This could be software provided by the DVR manufacturer or third-party software. 3. Accessing DVR: - Launch the software on your PC that allows you to communicate with the DVR. - Follow the software instructions to establish a connection with the DVR. Regarding accessing the DVR via a Belkin router to multiple PCs, it's important to note that using a router to access a DVR is typically done over a network, not directly via Firewire. To access the DVR on multiple PCs via a network setup: 1. Network Connection: - Connect your DVR to your Belkin router using an Ethernet cable. 2. Router Configuration: - Configure your Belkin router to ensure that the DVR is reachable from all PCs on your network. - This might involve setting up port forwarding or ensuring that the DVR is on the same network subnet as your PCs. 3. PC Configuration: - On each PC, you might need software that allows you to access the DVR over the network. This could be specific DVR software or media player software. 4. Accessing DVR: - Launch the software on each PC that allows communication with the DVR over the network. - Provide the necessary credentials or settings to connect to the DVR. Keep in mind that accessing the DVR over Firewire may have limitations or require specific software that supports this functionality. For accessing it over the network, ensure that your network setup allows for communication between the DVR and PCs.
