Two antennas are included with the DCS-2100+ . These are screwed onto the antenna connectors on the back panel to provide a connection with a wireless network.

Ethernet Cable Connector

The Internet Camera’s back panel features an RJ-45 connector for connections to 10Base-T Ethernet cabling or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling. This network port supports the NWay protocol , allowing the Internet Camera to automatically detect or negotiate the transmission speed of the network.

The Ethernet cable included with the DCS-2100+ Internet Camera is a Category 5 “straight through” cable. This is the recommended cable type when the camera is physically connected to a 100 Mbps

Fast Ethernet network hub or switch.
