Using the Main Menu

Network

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.

4Right-click until you exit all menus. You will be prompted to restart.

Enabling Auto Port Forwarding

Auto Port Forwarding allows the DVR to open required ports on your router. This feature only works on certain router models. If the Auto Port Forwarding feature does not work on your router, it is recommended to use the Auto Port Forwarding Wizard (PC only), located on the software CD. You may have to manually open the port on your router.

To Enable Auto Port Forwarding:

1Select the Network tab.

2In the Auto Port Forwarding drop-down menu, select Enable or Disable.

3Click Apply to save your settings.

Changing the DVR’s Client and HTTP Port

The DVR’s Default Client port is 9000. The default HTTP port is 80. You must port forward the Client Port and HTTP port to your router for remote access.

To change the default Client port and HTTP port:

1Select the Network tab.

2In Client Port, enter the desired Client Port (default: 9000).

Client Port & HTTP Port fields

NOTE: 9000 is represented as "09000."
