ƒGo to a Computer on the pre-existing network and do the following: o Go to Start, then Run and type cmd and click on OK.

ƒThen hit enter, type ipconfig and press enter this will give you the information you will need.

ƒUse the prior step to assign an IP address. For example, if you got the IP address from the computer of 192.168.002.101. Assign the DVR’s IP address as 192.168.002.050. Now Copy the subnet mask and default gateway information you got from the prior step off the computer to the DVR.
