The Network menu allows you to configure the system’s DDNS and network settings.

Configuring Network Type: DHCP & Static IP

The system has the ability to operate in DHCP mode and Static IP mode.

DHCP allows the router to assign an IP to the DVR. Static IP mode fixes the IP of the DVR. Fixing an IP of the DVR ensures that the IP will not change.

To configure DHCP and Static IP settings:

1Select the Network tab.

2In the Type drop-down menu, select DHCP or Static. If you select DHCP, the router automatically assigns an IP to your DVR.

Select DHCP or Static

If you select Static, click the field beside IP Address, and enter in the IP address of your choice.

•Enter your custom Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS1 and DNS2 using the mouse.

•You must assign the IP in your router that you wish to make static. For example, if you assign 192.168.2.89 as the static IP in the DVR, you must assign 192.168.2.89 in your router as a static IP as well. Consult your router’s user’s manual for details.

3Click Apply to save your settings.
