Configuring PPPoE
You can connect the recorder directly to a DSL modem. To do this, you need to select
the PPPoE option in the network settings. Contact your ISP to get the user name and
password.
To configure general network settings:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Network Settings > PPPoE.
2. Click PPPoE and check the Enable PPPoE box.
3. Enter your user name and password and confirm the password.
4. Click Apply and manually reboot the recorder to save the settings.
Configuring DDNS
If your recorder is set up to use PPPoE as its default network connection, you can set
up Dynamic DNS (DDNS) to be used in conjunction. You need to register with your ISP
before configuring your system for use with DDNS.
There are two ways to set up a DDNS:
• DynDNS: Manually create your own host name. You will first need to create a user
account using the hosting web site, DynDDNS.org.
• ezDDNS: Activate the DDNS auto-detection function to set up a dynamic IP
address. The server is set up to assign an available host name to your recorder.
