ECOR960 4F2 / 8F2 / 16F2 2.5 Connecting the DVR to the Network There are three methods to connect the DVR to the network: Router or LAN Connection, Direct High‐Speed Connection and One‐to‐One Connection. For more information of the network, please refer to Appendix A. Network Overview. 2.5.1 Router or LAN Connection This is the most common connection in which the DVR is connected to a router and allows multiple users on and off site to see the DVR on a LAN/WAN (Internet).
ECOR960 4F2 / 8F2 / 16F2 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. Log into the EverFocus DVR menu and go to the Network Setting Menu.
ECOR960 4F2 / 8F2 / 16F2 Take the values for Subnet Mask and Default Gateway and input them into the DVR; these values should be exactly the same in both devices. However, you should change the last number of the IP address. For example, if the IP address of the computer is 192.168.2.101, the DVR’s IP address should be 192.168.2.50.
ECOR960 4F2 / 8F2 / 16F2 2.5.2 Direct High-Speed Connection In a Direct High‐Speed Connection, the DVR connects directly to a modem without the need for a router. You need to set the static or dynamic WAN IP address assigned by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) in the DVR’s configuration web pages. To access the DVR, just type “http://xxx”, where xxx is the IP address given by your ISP. If you have a dynamic IP address, this connection may require that you use DDNS for a reliable connection.
ECOR960 4F2 / 8F2 / 16F2 2.5.3 One-to-One Connection You can connect directly without using a switch, router or modem. However, only the PC connected to the DVR will be able to view the DVR. You will also have to manually assign a compatible IP address to both the computer and the DVR. Unless the PC has another network connection, the DVR will be the only network device visible to the PC. See the diagram below: Right: Pinout of a crossed-over cable.
