1.3 STATIC INTERNAL IP (NETWORK) ADDRESS
Most routers assign connected devices a random IP address that is not currently in use by
another device on your internal network. With the exception of 2Wire brand routers, when
a router or networked device reboots due to a power loss or other issue, the addresses will
change and the port forwarding configuration will no longer work. For that reason, unless
you have a 2Wire router, we recommend changing your NVR’s network setting to a fixed,
or “static” IP address which will not change.
STEP 1. Return to the Network Menu.
STEP 2. Uncheck the box marked DHCP.
STEP 3. Click Save.
Proceed to Section 1.5 Domain Name System (DNS) without closing the window.

1.4 PPPOE
If you are going to attach the NVR directly to a DSL or cable modem instead of to a router
then select the PPPOE option in the Network options. Before you proceed, you will need to
contact your ISP to obtain your User Name and Password. You will not have to worry about
Static IP (previous section).
STEP 1. Click the Network Settings
button.
STEP 2. Double-click on PPPOE to
open the window.
STEP 3. Input the User Name and
Password provided by your ISP into
their respective fields.
STEP 4. Click OK to save your settings.
Click on Save in the Netwok window
before closing that window.
STEP 5. Restart your NVR and return to
the PPPOE window. Your NVR will
have automatically connected to the
Internet and you can use the number
in the IP address field to remotely
access the NVR.
