6.23 Network Setup
Network Setup allows you to prepare the DVR for viewing over the internet or local
network.
[Important]: This setting should only be changed if multiple DVRs are being setup on the same
network.
MAC ADDRESS: In a local area network(LAN)
the MAC (Media Access Control) address is
your computer’s unique hardware identity
code.(On an Ethernet LAN it is the same as
your Ethernet address.) When you are
connected to the Internet from your computer
(or host as the Internet protocol thinks of it ) a
corresponding table relates your IP address to
your computer’s physical (MAC) address on the
LAN.
IP ALLOCATION: DVR supports DHCP and
Static IP modes. If your modem/router
supports DHCP mode use DHCP. When using
STATIC mode, you will be required to setup
your internet settings manually.
Note: After setting the DVR to DHCP mode
restart the unit.
IP Address: In a local network, the IP
address is a unique designated address for
your DVR recognized by your router.
Ensure this number is within the range
usable by your modem/router. Use the UP
“▲”and DOWN “▼” buttons to move the
cursor and use the “SELECT” button to
change the numbers. Once you have
finished the changes restart your DVR.
