The modem/router was either installed by your Internet service provider or purchased by you to establish a connection to the Internet. A router assigns different internal IP addresses to local computers; this allows multiple computers to access the Internet through the same external 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

EPHD08: 80

ECOR264: 80

ECOR: 80, 1600

EDR/EDVR: 80, 1600, and 37260 – 37263

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).
