ABOUT NETWORK SETTINGS:

ACCEPT CLIENT: If the ACCEPT CLIENT option is set as [YES], remote DVR access control is enabled so you can control your DVR remotely via a LAN connection using the "Remote DVR Client" software included on CD in the DVR package. If ACCEPT CLIENT option is set as [NO], the Remote DVR Client will not be able to access your DVR from remote location.

MAC ADDRESS: On a local area network (LAN), the MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware identity number. (On an Ethernet LAN, it is the same as your Ethernet address.) When you are connected to the Internet from your computer (or host as the Internet protocol thinks of it), a corresponding table relates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address on the LAN.

IP ADDRESS: Within an isolated network, you can assign IP addresses at random as long as each one is unique. However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses (called Internet addresses) to avoid duplicates.

The IP address is assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), but you may assign values to the lowest digits of the address (to designate unique addresses for your DVR, your PC and other devices on your LAN). Contact your ISP for more information regarding to your own IP address.

SUBNET: This refers to a subnet mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to. A number that is used to identify a sub network so that IP addresses can be recognized on a local area network.

GATEWAY: In enterprises, the gateway is the computer that routes the traffic from a workstation to the outside network that is serving the web pages. In homes, the gateway is usually housed at the ISP. The gateway connects networks that have different protocols. The gateway address is provided by your ISP.
