Network: General (see page 37)
Be careful adjusting settings here - if the DVR can’t access the network anymore, you won’t be able to configure it remotely!
Network Access: How your network is addressed - either DHCP or STATIC IP addressing.
Subnet Mask: A required additional piece of IP addressing information.
Gateway: The way “out” of your network, to the Internet.
Auto DNS / Static DNS: Whether the DVR will automatically select a DNS server, or use one you assign.
Preferred / Alternate DNS: The DVR has two DNS servers, essentially a primary and a backup.
MAC Address: The Media Access Control address. For some advanced networking, it can help to know this value.
Network: Advanced Config (see page 38)
DDNS Setup: Opens the DDNS setup window (below).
NTP Setup: Opens the Network Time Protocol setup window (see below).
Email Setting: Opens the Email Setup window (see below).
Server Port: One of the two ports the DVR needs to communicate over your network. Ensure nothing else uses this port. The default value is 9000. This is the port number you’ll use when logging in over the Internet from the MyDVR software or remote access from a mobile device.
HTTP Port: The second of two ports the DVR needs to communicate over your network. Ensure nothing else uses this port. The default value is 85.
•NTP Setup (see page 39)
NTP Domain or IP Address: The server you intend to use to access the current date and time. The default is pool.ntp.org.
NTP Port: The port that the NTP server uses. The default for pool.ntp.org is 123.
•Email Setting (see page 41)
Operates in the same way as the email setup menu in the DVR menu. Rather than attempt to summarize here, it’s easier to simply turn to page 41 to learn more.
•DDNS Setup (see page 39)
Where you can configure a Dynamic DNS server to track the “position” of your DVR over the Internet. Check out page 39 for more information on DDNS servers.
