Appendix B ─ DVR Name Service (DVRNS)

Overview

Using Static IP addresses in LAN/WAN networks requires high management overhead and increases the cost burden to users. Therefore, it has become essential for DVRs to support Dynamic IP addresses in ADSL/VDSL networks using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). This reduces cost burdens and increases cost effectiveness for system users. Use the following steps to set up a system using DVRNS.

System Configuration

STEP 1 (DVR  DVRNS Server): Register the unit name and IP address of the DVR during the DVRNS setup on the Remote DVR. This unit name and IP address will be registered on the DVRNS server directly.

NOTE: Refer to the applicable manual for each remote DVR for more details on DVRNS setup.

STEP 2 (DX-PC For View  DVRNS Server): Request the IP address of the remote DVR using the registered unit name of the DVR you want to connect to.

STEP 3 (DVRNS Server  DX-PC For View): The DVRNS server notifies DX-PC For View of the requested IP address.

STEP 4 (DX-PC For View  DVR): Connect to the target DVR using the IP address returned from the DVRNS server.

NOTE: You should follow steps 2 to 4 whenever connecting to the remote site because the DVR name and IP address might change at anytime.
