Apex Digital AP-16CO, AP-9060 Configuring Your Router

Page 12 of 18

Before making any other changes, change the “IP Mode” to “Static.”

Using the information you wrote down in the “Gathering Information” section of this

guide, update the “IP Addr,” “Sub Net,” and “Gateway” settings. Please be aware that

this DVR DOES show the leading zeros for each octet of an IP address or subnet mask.

Therefore, if you wrote down:

192.168.1.50

You would now enter:

192.168.001.050

These are equivalent.

Unless you have good reason to change them, leave the default video and command ports

with their default values of 5000 and 5001, respectively.

Press the menu button two times to get back to your AP-9060/AP-16CO’s main screen.

It will take a moment for the settings to save and the menu to refresh, so be patient and

don’t press the button over and over.

Configuring Your Router

Be sure to look at any forwarded ports or NAT routes you already have configured.

Make sure they do not conflict (use any of the same ports) as your AP-9060/AP-16CO.

If they do, for any reason, you should change the conflicting default ports on your AP-

9060/AP-16CO to something else, so that you will not be causing problems for both

applications.

First, log into your Router with administrative privileges. Once you are logged in, locate

the settings page/screen containing port forwarding (sometimes called application

settings or triggers) or NAT configuration page. These settings are usually under the

“Firewall” or “Advanced” section of your router configuration.

Using the appropriate page/screen in your router, make entries for port 80 (TCP) and

ports 5001 and 5001 (TCP/UDP). Be sure your mappings point to the internal IP address

you selected for your AP-9060/AP-16CO, and that you click any “activate” or “enable”

check boxes for each entry.
