4.2.2 Network
The unit’s network configuration is set on the Network tab of the Configuration page.
Settings pertaining to the unit’s network connection are:
DHCP: Allows the unit to request a dynamic IP address from a server on the
network when Enabled. (The default is Disabled, or static IP addressing.)
Gateway (IPv4): The IP address of the network gateway bridging your private
network (LAN) to the public internet network. This is required if the unit needs to
reach any services on the internet, such as a public email or NTP server. (If DHCP
is Enabled, this field will automatically be filled in when the DHCP service assigns
the unit an IP address.)
IP Address: Displays the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses currently being used by the unit.
Clicking on the Modify icon will allow you to change the unit's IPv4 address and
Netmask. (Note that if DHCP is enabled, then there will be no Modify icon,
indicating that this address can't be changed by the user.) The IPv6 address is a
"Link Local" address inherent to the unit, and cannot be changed.
DNS: Allows the unit to resolve host names for Email, NTP and SNMP servers as
well as cameras.
