Making network settings

The setting is necessary for controlling the DVR from a PC on a network.

Contact the network administrator for more details on setting values.

Be sure not to duplicate IP addresses from other devices.

zSUBNET MASK

When the DNS server address is specified by a network administrator or Internet service provider, select “MANUAL” and set the following items, “PRIMARY” and “SECONDARY”.

zPRIMARY

zSECONDARY
