• Microsoft® Windows® product license key code
Refer to the Windows documentation for the code.

•Unique IP address
Examples are 100.0.0.101, 100.0.0.102, 100.0.0.103, etc. This is the default addressing scheme.
•Network subnet mask
This must be the same on all recorders and ViewStations; for example, 255.0.0.0 (default).

If you restart the recorder, it takes about five minutes to reboot. If you cannot wait that long, wait two minutes, and then open
the recorder door and turn the power off and back on.
