SN503-8CH

Media Port:

This port is used to initiate communication with the LCD-DVR. The media port is entered at the end of the IP address

to connect to the DVR. If using the default port (80), your internet browser will automatically add port 80 to the end

of the address even though it may not display it. If using a port other than 80, you will need to add that port to the

end of the IP address when typing it into a web browser. (Ex. If using port 2000 and IP address is 192.168.1.69, you

would type: http://192.168.1.69:2000 in the address bar.

Web Port:

This port is used for the LCD-DVR to communicate with your network and is required for proper internet viewing.

Media Port vs. Web Port

This DVR requires two separate ports for internet viewing. Most of the communication goes through the Web Port

and is used for accessing DVR footage, software and the menu. The Media Port is used to initiate communication to

the DVR and serves as a gateway. The Media Port should be left as 80 unless port 80 is being blocked by your Internet

Service Provider.

To Change the port you are using:

1. Navigate to and select the drop down list next to the port you would like to change, this will prompt the

keyboard to open.

2. Using the keyboard, input desired port number then select enter. The Media and Web ports cannot be the

same number.

3. Select “APPLY” to save your changes.

IP ADD:

(IP ADDRESS) The numbers here represent the Internal IP address of your DVR. If your DVR is not properly connected to

the router, the address will appear as 0.0.0.0. or “Getting IP. . .”

To Acquire an IP Address:

1. Ensure the IP Mode is set to “DHCP” and that you have connected an Ethernet cable (included) to the jack titled

“LAN” on the left side of the LCD-DVR.

2. Once adjusted, select “APPLY” to save changes.

3. Exit the Network Menu, then exit the Main Menu. This will prompt your LCD-DVR to restart and implement the

new settings.

Note: The internal IP address is the most important number on the Network

Setup Menu screen and the ports will be used to set up Port Forwarding

which is required to view DVR outside of current network.
