Mode: The current protocol that is being used on the device. This can be either static or DHCP.
Static vs DHCP: This check box allows the user to choose between a static IP address, and a dynamic
IP address. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, and this enables the NVR to
automatically obtain an IP address from another network device such as a server or more
commonly, a router. When the DHCP function is enabled, the user cannot modify the IP address,
Subnet Mask, or Gateway, as these values are obtained from the DHCP function. To view the
current IP address, DHCP needs to be disabled.
Note: When PPPoE is enabled, modification of IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway becomes
prohibited.
IP Version: This dropdown allows the user to select the IP version. The two options are IPV4 and IPV6.
Preferred DNS server: This field allows the user to enter the DNS server IP address.
Alternate DNS server: This field allows the user to enter the Alternate DNS server IP address.
Default Card: The current Ethernet card being used in the system.
