This item allows users to select the network type among <LAN>, <PPPoE>, and <None>. If the internet connection is a local area network communication, please select <LAN>. If the internet connection is a broadband medium, such as DSL Line or cable modem, please select <PPPoE>.

PPPoE stands for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. It is a specification for connecting the users on an Ethernet to the Internet through a common broadband medium.

If <None> is selected, then there is no need to set further LAN or PPPoE settings. Therefore, the second item <LAN Setup>will be inaccessible.

DHCP

This item allows users to obtain a dynamic IP address from DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server when the DVR boots up. When using DHCP, the settings are dynamic and will change every time the DVR power on or off, depending on the network's setup.

If the item is enabled (ON), a dynamic IP will be assigned to DVR-4TL/8TL/16TL. In this case, users do not need to set a static IP and the Ethernet settings, including IP address, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS settings will be read-only.

If the DVR is using a permanent address, disable DHCP (OFF) to manually set IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS. See the network system administrators or IT personnel for appropriate values.
