Determines how the DVR will acquire an IP address; DHCP, Static or PPPoE.
DHCP:
DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol) address is the most common setup for home or oce networks. This
allows the DVR to automatically receive an IP address from the router. By default the IP mode will be DHCP .
Static IP:
Static IP addresses are manually assigned by an administrator. A static IP address would be benecial if your internal IP
address changes often. Most home or oce networks today do not use static IP addresses. If you are unsure of whether
you need a static or dynamic IP address, please contact your network administrator.
PPPoE:
Used for DSL services where individuals connect to a DSL modem. It is recommended to store the PPPoE information
in the router, if the PPPoE information is not stored in the router, the DSL modem will need to be congured. If you are
using a PPPoE connection, contact your Internet Service Provider for your PPPoE name and password.
