EverFocus EMV200 user manual What is your Network Setup?, Do you have a static IP address?

Do you have a static IP address? ______________

A Static IP address means you use the same IP address every time you connect to the Internet. With a static IP address, other Internet users always know the address of your location and can easily connect with it. This makes it much simpler to host a website, email server, or other type of server connection. Everfocus suggests using a static IP address. If this is not available, you will need to use a dynamic IP address. This is explained below.

Do you have a dynamic IP address? ______________

A Dynamic IP address means your IP address changes each time you connect to the Internet. We recommend asking your Internet service provider for a Static IP address. If this is not a possibility, you may use the DDNS feature of the DVR. DDNS stands for Dynamic Domain Name Server, a service that provides a central database where IP information can be stored and retrieved. It allows those using a dynamic IP address to be registered centrally so users can connect to it by name. See Chapter 7 for details on using EverFocus DDNS.

What type of DVR are you installing? ______________

The default ports are

ECOR264: 80

Paragon: 80

ECOR: 80, 1600

EDR/EDVR: 80, 1600, and 37260 – 37263

EMV: 80

If the ports were changed in the Network Setup, use those port numbers.

5.6 What is your Network Setup?

Everfocus DVR’s can operate using one of three types of networking connections.

1.Simple One to One Connection: A simple one to one connection is the simplest type of network connection. It uses a cross-over cable to make a direct connection from one computer to another (or in this case a computer to a DVR).

2.Direct High Speed Modem Connection: A direct modem connection uses a standard network cable to connect the modem directly to a computer (or in this case a modem to the DVR). This type of connection only covers single-port modems. For a combination modem/router, use the setup described below.

3.Router or LAN Connection – A local area network connection requires either a router or a pre-existing LAN connection. This is the most common type of connection. A router allows multiple computers and DVR’s to access each other as well as the Internet. It assigns different internal IP addresses to the computers.
