Chapter 6 Network settings You must configure your recorder’s network settings before using it over the network. The recorder must have access to the internet when configuring the network settings. Note: As every network configuration may differ, please contact your Network Administrator or ISP to see if your recorder requires specific IP addresses or port numbers. Configuring general network settings To configure general network settings: 1.
Option Description Enable DHCP Check this box if you have a DHCP server running and want your recorder to automatically obtain an IP address and other network settings from that server. Default value is Disable. IPv4 address Enter the IP address for the recorder. Default value is 192.168.1.82 IPv4 subnet mask Enter the subnet mask for your network so the recorder will be recognized within the network. Default value is 255.255.255.
Configuring DDNS A static IP address never changes so you can enter it into the browser or CMS and the recorder network connection will always work with it. However, if you have a dynamic IP address for your public IP address, it will change every time you connect to the network. Under such situations, you can set up a dynamic domain name system (DDNS) that will link your public IP address to a host name so that you can connect to the recorder with the host name.
DynDNS: Select DynDNS and enter the server address for DynDNS (members.dyndns.org). In the recorder domain name field, enter the domain name obtained from the DynDNS web site. Then enter your user name and password registered in the DynDNS network. For example: Server address: members.dyndns.org Domain: mycompanydvr.dyndns.org User name: myname Password: mypassword - Or ezDDNS: Click the Get URL button. The URL address to access the unit is displayed.
