BlueNet Video 888-616-1514 DDNS Registration ( www.mybluenetvideo.com ) For users that have DYNAMIC or PPPoE addressing from their Internet Service Provider (ISP) you will need to register with our DDNS service. We recommend you determine if you use dynamic addressing and if you do, register your Network Video Server on our DDNS website FIRST, before you configure, setup, or install the NVS. You do not need to register with our DDNS if you were supplied a STATIC IP address from your ISP.
BlueNet Video 888-616-1514 Quick Start Please follow the steps below to complete the initial setup of the Network Video Server (NVS): ** Please do not power on the NVS until instructed ** Temporarily disable any proxy servers configured in Internet Explorer ** If connecting the NVS directly to a modem, power down and rest the modem. Leave the modem powered down until configurations are finalized with the NVS and the NVS has been correctly connected to the modem. Then power the modem, followed by the NVS. 1.
BlueNet Video 888-616-1514 Quick Start Cont’d 13.
