5.Enable or disable the settings to fit your system. Adjusting a setting is a
a.DHCP: Enable DHCP if your system uses dynamic Internet addresses.
b.DDNS: Enable DDNS if your system uses a dynamic domain name service.

6.Press the down arrow button until the Next command is selected, and then press the Enter button. Additional network settings appear.
7.Configure any additional settings that are required for your network. Whether the following settings will be available depends on which network options you selected (refer to Figure 13):
•Web Server Port: Enter the port number that the Web Client will use to communicate with the DX4000 over the Internet. The default port number is 80.
WARNING: If you use the Web Client to access the DX4000 and you change the port number, you must update the IP address on the
web address to include the new port number. The revised IP address would resemble the following: http://192.168.0.40:8080, where 8080 is the revised port number.
•Client Service Port: Enter the port number that the remote agent will use to communicate with the DX4000. The default port number is 6100. You may use a different working port number.
•DDNS Server: Verify the name of the Dynamic Domain Name Service. The default service name is DDNS.DVRLINK.NET. If your network uses a different service, enter it here. Note that entering the name incorrectly will render the service inoperable.
•IP Address: If your network uses static IP addresses, enter it here. A default IP address for the DX4000 can be found on the System Information menu. Refer to Entering an IP Address on page 19 for instructions for entering an IP address.
•Gateway: Enter the IP address for the Internet gateway server. On smaller systems, this will be the IP address of the DX4000. On larger systems, there might be a separate machine that serves as the gateway.
•Subnet Mask: Enter the IP address of the subnet mask for the DX4000.
•1st DNS Server: Enter the IP address of the primary Domain Name Service server that the DX4000 will use to convert names to IP addresses. If you intend to use the DDNS server, you do not need to enter a DNS server.
•2nd DNS Server: Enter the IP address of the backup Domain Name Service server that the DX4000 will use to convert names to IP addresses. This server is used if the primary DNS server fails. If you intend to use the DDNS server, you do not need to enter a DNS server.
