Copy the .ETW to your USB memory stick from your computer Insert the USB in to the USB slot on the front panel of the DVR.
Chapter 10. Networking Overview 10 09 This chapter will try to give you a detailed instruction on how to network the DVR. Before we begin the process of networking your digital recorder we should have a working knowledge of what a network is and how it works. This will be a helpful in completing the networking process. 10.1 Introduction to TCP/IP TCP/IP is the suite of protocols used by the Internet and most LANs (Local Area Networks) throughout the world.
10.3 Gateway Address Each host in a LAN has a gateway. A gateway address is composed of four octets (numbers in the range of 0 to 255) separated by decimal points. The gateway address is used to uniquely identify a host or computer on the LAN which assigns the IP addresses to your network. For example, a Linksys router has an IP address of 192.168.1.1. If you were using this type of router within your LAN, then your gateway would be the IP address of the Linksys router.
Note: Everfocus suggests having a minimum upload speed of 256KBps. This can be addressed by the Internet Service Provider. Who is your Internet provider? ______________ Please confirm that your internet service provider that our upload speed is at least 256KBps. What type of modem/router do you have? ______________ Modem/router model name/ # The modem/router was either installed by your Internet service provider or purchased by you to establish a connection to the Internet.
10.6 What Type of Network Connection do you have? Everfocus DVR’s can operate using three distinct types of networking connections. 1. Simple One to One Connection: A simple one to one connection is the most simple network connection. Basically it is a connection between a Computer and Another Computer or in this case a DVR using a cross-over cable. 2.
10.7 Simple One to One Connection Cat 5 Cross-over-cable Crossover Ethernet Cable Pin outs: The Diagram below shows the pin configurations for a cross over cable. Diagram 10.1 Connection Procedure: The First step is to purchase or make a cross over cable. We recommend purchasing one if you have never made a cross over cable.
The next step is to get the computer onto the same network to do this you will need administrator access to your windows machine. To assign a static IP address in windows 2000/XP.
Once you have reached this point click ok and restart both the computer and the digital recorder. To access the DVR from the computer simply open Internet Explorer and in the address bar type: http://192.168.1.
10.8 Direct High Speed Modem Connection Hi-speed modem Internet Cat 5 Straight Through Cable DVR Straight Through Ethernet Cable Pin outs: The Diagram below shows the pin configurations for a straight cable. Diagram 10.2 Connection Procedure: The First step is to purchase or make a straight through cable. We recommend purchasing one if you have never made a straight through cable.
Now Log into the EverFocus DVR menu and using the jog dial from the previous chapter go to the Network Setting Menu. Assign the Static IP address which you obtained from the internet service provider to the DVR, the Subnet mask from the internet service provider to the DVR, and the default gateway of the internet service provider. Note: If you have a dynamic IP address this type of connection will not work for you.
10.9 Router or LAN Connection Hi-speed modem Internet Cat 5 Straight Through Cable DVR Router Straight Through Ethernet Cable Pin outs: The Diagram below shows the pin configurations for a straight cable. Diagram 10.
Connection Procedure: The First step is to purchase or make a straight through cable. We recommend purchasing one if you have never made a straight through cable. Please remember you can not use a cross over network cable for this application Once you have a straight through cable plug one end into the LAN port on the back of the recorder and the other into the router. Now Log into the EverFocus DVR menu and using the jog dial from the previous chapter go to the Network Setting Menu.
Use the prior step to assign an IP address. For example, if you got the IP address from the computer of 192.168.002.101. Assign the DVR’s IP address as 192.168.002.050. Now Copy the subnet mask and default gateway information you got from the prior step off the computer to the DVR. Note: Make sure the modem is in bridge mode. If your Internet Service Provider is BellSouth you will have a modem/router. BellSouth provides a Westell modem that includes a built-in router.
Chapter 11 11. Linksys Port Forwarding This chapter will cover a few simple configurations for the Linksys router. Please understand we do not support this product and will not give tech support on it. If you need technical support on this router you must call Linksys.
