NETWORK SETUP menu.

If you would like to access your DVR while you are outside of your home or office network,

please follow the instructions below to configure the NETWORK Setup of your DVR

Important Note: You will not be able to access your DVR if your DVR is connected behind two

or more routers.

Important Note: If you are using a DSL modem, the modem must be set to “bridge mode”.

Important Note: We will not be able to help you set up the network configurations if you have a

RADIUS Server or Network Magic installed.

Note: Prior to changing the NETWORK Setup of your DVR, it is strongly recommended that

you perform the following tasks:

STATIC IP
1. Select STATIC as the network TYPE.
2. Leave Media Port at 9000
3. Setup WEB Port (leave at 80 but some ISPs block

inbound traffic on port 80 to prevent web servers so
if the DVR cannot be remotely accessed choose a
different port number)

4. Enter the IP Address that you have reserved at the

beginning of this section into this field to be the
unique address of your DVR in your local network.

5. NETMASK: It is recommended to leave the Subnet

mask as the default 255.255.255.0.

IP Address of your router

STATIC as the network TYPE.

inbound traffic on port 80 to prevent web servers so
if the DVR cannot be remotely accessed choose a
different port number)

4. Enter your PPPoE NAME and PASSWORD so your

DVR will be able to obtain service from your ISP.

5. Leave the UPNP option at “Enable”. Enter the
