NOTE: This function can only work if the LAN which the unit is connected to has a DHCP server. If the DHCP server is working, the NVR will obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server. In that case please skip the section 11.2.2 (Set IP address) and follow section 3. (TCP/IP Communication Software).

11.2.2 Set IP Address

You don’t need to set a NET IP for the unit if the LAN which the unit is connected to has a DHCP server. Otherwise, please follow the instructions given below:

Use the ^and “v” buttons , and , to highlight the NET IP. Press the Enter button to enter the NET IP page

Set the IP, MASK and GATEWAY. Then press the Enter button to proceed. The following is a sample setting.

IP:192.168.0.1

MASK: 255.255.255.0

GATEWAY: 0.0.0.0

NOTE: When only one unit of the NVR is connected to a computer or LAN, you can freely assign an IP address for the NVR. For example, there is a range of NVR IP addresses from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.255. You can pick one for use from the range of the IP. It’s not necessary to set MASK and GATEWAY; leave the settings as default.

When a NVR is connected to a WAN, you must acquire a unique, permanent IP address and correctly configure the MASK and GATEWAY settings according to your network architecture. If you have any questions regarding those settings, please contact a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
